SteelTraK


Developed specifically for the tougher and thicker rigid and semi-rigid substrates used in today’s sign making market, the heavy-duty SteelTraK handles oversized materials with ease. With a cut length option of 65", 82" or 98", it is the longest, most accurate and easy-to-use manual vertical cutter available.

One Step: SteelTraK Straight to Printer
The SteelTraK casts no debris, which means it, can be positioned right next to your printing machines without fear of airborne dust damaging the project or resulting in do-overs. Built in to your production line (wall-mounted to save space, or using an optional freestanding kit), the SteelTraK is a guaranteed time and money saver.

State-of-the-Art Counterbalance
The rear spine of the SteelTraK is fitted with a counterbalance that allows users to put the head in any position without it dropping to the bottom of the machine. The cumbersome process involved with other vertical cutters – of lifting up the head, applying the brake, and screwing it in place while simultaneously loading the material – is eliminated. The counterbalance eliminates the load from the cutting head, and because operators aren’t lifting the full weight of the head, they can concentrate solely on cutting the material. The end result: time savings and productivity gains.

Heavy-Duty Design
A robust frame that includes extruded aluminum back beams offers support for sheets of all sizes and prevents offcuts (including flexible materials) from falling through the frame.

Make your SteelTraK even more versatile
Manufactured from hardened high-carbon tool steel, the optional V-Groove cutting tool is perfect for making trays, trade show display stands and light boxes at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time required by larger equipment. The V-Groove device cuts a “v” out of the back of the material - for instance, in aluminum composite - through one section of aluminum and through the plastic core, enabling the material to be folded to 90°. Using the V-Groove cutting tool, you can:

  • Fold aluminum composite, PVC board and corrugated plastic
  • Cut smoothly and silently without debris, noise or burred edges
  • Remove exactly the correct amount from one side of the sheet material

Easily selectable three-in-one cutting tool. Three turn and lock ready mounted tools for instant action:

  •                  Utility blade for 1/2" thick materials
  •                  Acrylic scoring blade
  •                  Composite twin-wheel cutting head

Pre-lubricated ball bearings glide along two steel tracks, resulting in precision cuts, low friction and years of trouble-free life with no adjustments.




Two flip stops – which can be engaged or disengaged without disturbing the settings – make cutting-to-size easy. Ultra precise vernier screw adjustment provides a permanent, perfect 90° squaring arm and accurate cuts every time.



Full-length, extra-grip clamping system secures materials, and a transparent cutline cursor creates ultra precise cuts with no laser shake and no wasted panels.
