– constant quality: with precisely cut and smooth-
– The MST slitter (page 28) edged blanks
– The AL e electric shear (page 30)
– lower material costs: large coils are cheaper
– The MP microprocessor control (page 35) than small coils or sheets
Other combinations of Forstner slitters, shears and – less waste: coils can be slit more precisely with

Rapid set-up
We suggest additional expanding-diameter shafts
to accelerate coil change-over. Keeping the most
often used types of sheet ready on the shafts will
decrease set-up time considerably.
