Description
Cut edgebanding tapes, rubber skirt strips, and protective plastic barriers to custom widths without power tools. The Maksiwa International Manual Slitter 1/32 Inch Tape Thickness slitter cuts rolls up to 6 19/34 inches wide. This manual benchtop slitter utilizes precision circular rotary blades. It requires bench mounting to maintain straight material feed tracking.
Formed steel plate forms the rigid slitter chassis, preventing cutter shaft deflection during continuous manual feeding. Two hardened steel circular cutting knives adjust along a graduated scale, allowing operators to select strip widths from narrow edge strips up to wide protective bands. A manual hand crank drives the textured rubber feed rollers, pulling spool stock through the rotary knives without surface marring or edge tear-out.

- Compact benchtop footprint bolts to assembly workbenches using integrated mounting tabs
Manual Slitter Bench Feed Telemetry
Cutting tests confirm clean parallel slitting of 1/32-inch PVC edgeband tape down to 0.5-inch strip widths. Crank handle torque requires 4 foot-pounds of manual force during twin-blade tape passes. Slit width tolerance holds within 0.005 inches across continuous 100-foot test roll feeds. Blade edge sharpness tests at 58 HRC to resist dulling from abrasive plastic fillers. Acoustic noise registers zero dBA during manual operation.
Material Slitting Safety Setup Rules
Bolt the slitter base tabs securely to a clean workbench before feeding material coils into the rollers. Keep fingers away from the rotating circular blade nip zone during hand crank rotation. Do not feed metal banding, wire-reinforced rubber, or materials exceeding 1/32-inch thickness.
- Rotary cutter knife edges require solvent cleaning to remove adhesive residue build-up
- Feed roller drive gears demand light machine oil lubrication every thirty operating hours
- Textured rubber feed rolls require visual checks to clear out caught tape fragments
