Trimming aids – what is everyone using and why?
Just wondered what’s the most popular for trimming prints such as pull up banners? We are getting a bit annoyed trimming 25 of these at once using knife and rulers and considering keencut Evolution E2 to speed up the process – any opinions much appreciated.

Absolutely brilliant.
Perfect for banner work. -
We have an Evo E2 as well. No complaints here, so I would recommend one.

Same here, Evo E2.
We went for the 2.8m so we can cut 8x4ft boards, roller banner graphics all in one hit. :thumbsup:

How would the e2 cope with scoring dibond so it could be snapped?

I use mine to score dibond.
It’s surprising how little you need to score it.
A sharp snap and it’s done.
No problems [emoji106] -
Thanks all – sound like we have to go for it – where did you buy yours? Company based in Nottingham offers 2.1m unit at £865 – is that in the ballpark?

Mine is a 2.6mtr too.
Handy size for trimming 2mtrs rollers.
Sign geer for mine.
I had no problem with them. -
Its the evo e2 for me to at 2600mm, eats the banners and will score dibond for snapping easily, with a few cuts , will even go through the cheaper hoarding boards with a new blade its ready to go again. Best purchase I ever made outside of printers.

We score dibond too, then use the cutter to clamp it down and snap it on the edge.
A decent, flat workbench is a must for it to work to it’s best.
As said best thing we’ve bought that isn’t a printer… my ex went ape when she found out how much I spent on it… strangely the cutter has lasted longer than she did 😆

We got ours from Spandex, who were quite a bit cheaper than everyone else for the 2.6m one, with Evo bench.
-
Is the E2 stable enough to use on the bench without fixing it permanently.? Or is this a must
-
We have the Evo bench with ours, so it can’t be easily removed. I think you can get standalone ones, for use without the bench.
-
the table top version comes with fixing machanisms which you attach to the bench, then it locks in over the top i believe. Just curious how well it works being loose on the table top, how sturdy it is
