Corner Cutter

Ubi Crescent,Singapore, 2021-Dec-09 — /EPR Network/ — Signvec is one of the Manufacturers of table shear and corner cutter machine for cutting Paper, Board, Plastic, Gasket, Aluminium Rubber. Our Machines are highly accurate and sturdy.

A corner cutter removes a 90 degree corner along the scoring lines to the point at which they meet. We can cut two or three pieces of card at a time and rotate the card to cut all 4 corners of each box each time the pedal is pressed. The process is then repeated for the lid.

Our corner cutting machine was made by Singapore based company and is well over 100 years old! We had the clutch rebuilt a few years ago and the engineer that did it said that the machine must have pre-dated the 1878 Weights and Measures Act! This was because all of the parts were not of an exact size, they were all just made to fit, so each of these machines ever built is unique! It is possible that this machine has been in the family business from the beginning
