Single-handed operation

Two unique, patent-pending features make material alignment fast and simple. The Lift-and-Hover system raises and lowers the clamping bar with ease, hovering just above the surface. In addition, the anti-sag mechanism keeps the cutter bar parallel to the material for a straight, precise cut.

 

 


Guaranteed accuracy

The Evolution3 BenchTop cuts within 0.2mm (0.008″) of a straight line along the full length of the bar. The sightline strip improves visibility and alignment, allowing butt-jointed panels to fit together seamlessly. This level of precision saves time and reduces material waste.

 

 

 


Total stability

The self-adjusting track roller system keeps the QuikSwap tool heads moving smoothly and straight. Zero sideways movement ensures perfect blade control. This stability leads to more accurate cuts and less waste.

 

 

 


Simple to use

Thanks to the Lift-and-Hover mechanism and sightline strip, users can cut quickly and confidently. These features increase productivity and reduce training time, even for new operators.

 

 

 


Heavy-duty reliability

Keencut builds the Evolution3 with durable materials and proven engineering. The precision CNC-machined components ensure long-lasting accuracy and consistent blade control, even when cutting tough substrates.

 

 

 

 


Future-ready QuikSwap tool heads

The QuikSwap system allows users to swap tool heads in seconds. Each tool serves a specific function—cutting, creasing, or trimming fabric. You can mount multiple heads to suit your needs. The standard Graphik head comes included, and additional tools are available to expand your capabilities.

 


Versatile Rocker tool head

The Rocker tool head handles general-purpose cutting for materials like foamboard, cardboard, and banners up to 10mm thick. Its ergonomic shape fits the hand comfortably and supports push or pull cutting. With the Tech-D.012 blade, it can also tackle aluminum composite panels. For best results, watch our instructional video.

 

 

 


Five-year guarantee

Every Keencut Evolution3 is built in-house using premium materials and backed by 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.
