I am looking to run one. Already very familiar with the table automun waste removal and transmat stacker. I have just recently started at a small shop with small equipment after 38 years of working newer large scale as I have had a career with the largest Printers in Canada. I would be a great demonstrator.
Spent almost 20 years in bindery. About 13 of the years is with cutters that had no air tables and were not programable. Also no lifts for the paper or joggers. Just with knowing how to handle paper. And yes I cut a lot of jobs. Later I did time with a couple of Polar cutters that you can program the cuts. It was nice to have, but in some cases the older cutters I was able to be more versatile, on a lot of jobs. Of coarse having the safeties in new cutters is nice too
Nice machine. I have changed knifes on a polar cutter many times. You want fun though try it on older cutters without all the safeties. I spent about 10 of the 17 years in printing running a 38" (1938) Oswego and 44" ( 1930's) Seybold. Those were fun to change, but doable if you know the machine
This operator has made a boo-boo straight off the bat! You should always keep the knife fixing bolts opposite/in - line with the holes they are removed from. If a bolt is damaged then it doesn't move around different holes and spoil the threaded holes in all of the knives! This is especially important if you have expensive tungsten carbide tipped blades which have only one row of bolt - holes. Looks like this operator is at the Perfecta factory showroom, so if he damages the bolts or the knives, he call walk to the Parts Store and get some replacements free of charge! Not the real World when you have to watch the pennies and the manufacturers' agent is miles away.
Lots of ways to hurt yourself or damage the cutter changing a blade. I serviced everything printers used for 35 years. A funny one for you..I had to go to a state prison to install a new cutter and they shipped it with the bed out. When I asked for a fork lift to help install the cutter bed, the guy laughed and called about 8 inmates over to lift it into place. They handled it like it was a sheet of plywood.
wow, nice machines ( the 1896 ones that is), no electronic crap, just cast Iron and ones own hands, and safe too, as both hands are on the handle!, and no computers in the loop to close the blade unexpectedly :-))
Dear Jesus DCD, thank you very much for your comment. All necessary instructions are listed inside the operators manual which was delivered with the machine originally. Feel free to contact our service department via service@perfecta.de with the serial number of your machine so we can provide you with a new correct manual.
