Description

Strong, secure and stable

The BenchTop Bench provides the strong and solid foundation required for precise accurate cutting. The unique patented Proteus construction method creates a secure and rigid workbench that will not lose any stability over time. Strength and stability are vital to ensure that you achieve optimum clamping and repeatable, reliable cutting across the full length of the cutter bar. The Proteus construction is easy to assemble, and the internal fittings are concealed for a flush finish and maximum safety under heavy load.

 


Level surface adjustment

Adjustable feet deliver precise levelling on uneven floors and maintain the flatness required to obtain precise cutting accuracy.

 

 

 


Worktop options

The SmartFold Bench is supplied without a worktop, giving you the freedom to choose your own. You can use any suitable sheet material for the worktop, including glass. You can use standard 1.22m (4′) wide boards to form the worktop, or 1.525m (5′) wide boards if you fit the cantilever extension. Worktop dimensions are shown in the table below. They should be 18mm (3/4″) thick in order to finish flush with the base plate of the Evolution3 SmartFold cutter.

 


Cantilever extension

Due to the integral strength of the Proteus construction, the SmartFold Bench can be extended to a 1.525m (5’) width worktop, using a specially designed cantilever system. The cantilever kit is included as standard. As well as extending the bench this gives an overhang, under which you can fit a stool or tall chair for comfortable working and legroom. The cantilever extension is fitted to the rear, non-cutter edge of the bench. Evolution3 cutters must be fitted to the front edge which benefits from stronger support and a custom mounting plate for the cutter.

 


Five year guarantee

Built from high-grade aluminum alloy, Keencut benches offer a lifetime of service. The clean good looks are maintained through a quality anodizing process. By manufacturing in-house, with only the highest quality materials, Keencut is confident to offer a comprehensive five year guarantee.

Keencut Cutters & Precision Trimming Systems

Keencut cutters are built for print shops, signmakers, and framing studios that need accurate, repeatable cuts on tough materials without the risk of hand knives. Instead of struggling with loose blades and uneven edges, you get guided cutting systems that stay straight from end to end. As a result, your team can work faster and with more confidence on every job. Keencut focuses on high-precision manual cutting machines that fit naturally into modern wide format workflows. The goal is simple: speed up finishing, improve safety, and deliver clean, dust-free cuts right next to your printers and work tables. With robust construction, tight tolerances, and long service life, these cutters are designed to be the backbone of your finishing department rather than a short-term accessory.

Why Choose Keencut from Paragon Visual?

  • Precision engineering: Keencut machines are designed to deliver consistent, straight cuts across the full length of the bar. This helps reduce waste and rework on wide format jobs.
  • Safety by design: Clamping systems, guided blade paths, and dust-free cutting help protect operators and equipment when compared to open hand-cutting with loose knives.
  • Built for wide format workflows: These cutters are ideal for foam board, PVC, acrylic (score-and-snap), banner media, textiles, and more. They keep finishing work in-house and under control.
  • Supported by Paragon Visual: Our team understands both your printers and your finishing gear, so we can recommend Keencut cutters that fit your equipment, material mix, and floor space.
