When to choose a manual cutter

The manual cutter is still the most cost-effective tool for occasional cuts, samples, short runs and workshops that can’t justify automatic cutting. It also complements automatic cutting for trimming and touch-ups.

Blade types

  • Straight knife: cuts high lays and follows curves with good precision. It is the most versatile in garment manufacturing.
  • Round knife: fast and light, for few plies and straight cuts or gentle curves.
  • Band knife: the endless blade is fixed and the material moves. It gives maximum precision on small pieces.
  • Cross cutter: cuts the fabric from side to side on the table, at the end of each ply.

Blades and sharpening

On a manual cutter, cut quality depends on the blade and the sharpening. We supply Kuris spare parts, as well as blades and consumables for other brands (see our spare parts guide).
