The Arbor Cutting Press (3 tonne) is useful to cut various materials. It can cut paper, plastic, rubber and textile into desired samples. This machine allows manual cutting of samples. Arbor Cutter requires minimal force to cut. Thus, the Arbor Press is specifically designed to cut sample pieces easily and accurately . The Press is made of iron cast.
Additionally, using the optional c uttin g die adapter can ensure fast and repetitious sample preparation . The Arbor Press can be used on a work bench, wall or pedestal.
The Arbor Press has a replaceable cutting board. It also has a hand operated lever. Thus ensuring convenience . We provide one year limited warranty for this machine.
The Precision ASTM Cutting Dies or Cutting Dies (Ruler Type) can attach to the Arbor Cutting Press. 
Steps for cutting using the Arbor Cutting Press
1. Install the cutting die.
2. Loosen Grub Screw and remove pressure foot, if installed.
3. Install Cutting Die Adapter, with Die attached, in the hole in bottom of the Rack.
4. Tighten the Grub Screw to hold the cutting die in place.
5. Place material sample on Cutting Board underneath the Cutting Die.
6. Ensure cutting area is clear of any fingers/hands or any other body part. Refer to Safety Statement.
7. Pull the Hand Operated Lever in a downward motion to lower the die onto sample, applying enough force to cut through the sample material.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can the 3 Tonne Arbor Cutting Press cut?
The press is highly versatile and specifically designed to cut through paper, flexible plastics, rubber, and textiles. Its 3-tonne capacity ensures clean, precise edges on various material thicknesses required for laboratory testing.
Does the Arbor Press come with cutting dies?
The base unit does not include dies. However, it is fully compatible with Steel Cutting Dies (C0024) and Ruler Cutting Dies (C0025). We recommend adding the optional Cutting Die Adapter to ensure fast and repeatable sample preparation.
Can this press be mounted to a workbench?
Yes. For maximum stability and safety, the Arbor Press is designed for flexible installation. It can be securely mounted to a standard workbench, a wall, or a dedicated pedestal depending on your facility's layout.
Is the cutting board replaceable?
Yes. To maintain precision and protect your cutting dies, the press features a replaceable cutting board. This ensures that as the surface wears over time from repeated use, you can easily swap it out to maintain a flat, clean cutting base.
What maintenance is required for the Arbor Press?
Due to its heavy-duty cast iron construction and simple rack-and-pinion mechanism, maintenance is minimal. Periodic lubrication of the moving parts and regular inspection of the cutting board and dies will ensure long-term industrial reliability.
