Evolution3 Precision Cutting for Platemaking

The Keencut Evolution3 Range

Keencut’s Evolution3 transforms manual cutting to set new quality and performance standards; it really does make accurate cutting easier than ever before. The Evolution3 is truly a leap forward. The unique design offers technical developments not found on any other range of bench-top cutters. There are three Evolution3 models: the SmartFold which can be stowed underneath the bench, the BenchTop which fixes to a work surface, and a portable FreeHand version.

Evolution3 SmartFold

Designed for the busiest production facility, the Evolution3 SmartFold includes all the features of the Evolution3 range with the addition of an integral cutting strip for textiles and fragile materials. The SmartFold can also be folded down to clear the bench and then returned in seconds for immediate use.

Clear bench

Within a few seconds, you can fold the SmartFold down to clear your bench for other work and then simply flip it back up ready for action.

Evolution3 BenchTop

Permanently installed for immediate use, the Evolution3 BenchTop is perfect for a busy studio or high-use production environment. It includes Keencut’s unique Lift-and-Hover technology and all the precision and productivity-enhancing features of the range.

Single handed operation

Two unique, patent pending features enable single-handed, fast and accurate alignment of all materials, irrespective of thickness. The anti-sag mechanism means the cutter bar can be suspended exactly parallel to the media surface over the whole length of the cut with zero sag.

Evolution3 FreeHand

The Evolution3 FreeHand has been designed for those who require the high precision accuracy and superior cutting quality of the Evolution3 range but in a more flexible format. It is perfect if you want the flexibility to move your cutter bar between workbenches or remove it for storage.

Simple to use

The ease of use makes it possible for even first time users to cut confidently and accurately with the Evolution3 FreeHand. The sightline strip guides you to achieve perfect accuracy and the heavy base and solid structure create a stable cutting platform.

Lift and Hover

Lift-and-Hover technology

The Evolution3 SmartFold and BenchTop feature Keencut’s unique Lift-and-Hover (patent pending) technology, which enables single-handed, fast and accurate alignment of all media, irrespective of its thickness. A clutch device within the Lift-and-Hover system enables the clamping bar to be easily raised then lowered, so it hovers just millimeters above the material surface – there is no scooping or sag. The anti-sag mechanism means the cutter bar can be suspended exactly parallel to the media surface over the whole length of the cut with zero sag, even on the longest size of the cutter.

Quick-Swap Tool Heads

Future proof and versatile QuikSwap tool heads

The QuikSwap tool head family gives users the ultimate flexibility. Each tool is designed for a specific purpose, such as general cutting, creasing, and fabric cutting, and can be attached or detached from the cutter in seconds. You can mount single or multiple tool heads to suit your work and the Graphik tool head is supplied as standard, with other optional QuikSwap tools available to extend your cutting capability. New tool heads are also being developed to meet emerging requirements.
