GSM Round Cutter

If you are looking for one of the best tools for precise circular cutting of samples, then we suggest you go with the Presto GSM round cutter. PRESTO Round Cutter for Grammage, GSM Round cutter is useful for precise circular cutting of samples to check grammage. The sample cutter cuts a circular specimen of 100 Cm2, which is exactly 1 / 100th of a square meter, rapidly and accurately. The result is grams, multiplied by 100, which gives the GSM (Grams per square meter) directly. Grammage is the weight of paper in grams per square meter (gsm). The higher the grammage number, the thicker it will be.

The paper industry is a competitive place, where every millimeter counts. Paper products are made of long fibers that are bundled together with other short fibers to create the paper. The longer the fiber, the stronger and more durable it will be in relation to its weight. The shorter fibers help bind everything together and give the product shape and form. This means that you should always look for papers that have a higher grammage or GSM because they will be of better quality than those with a lower grammage. The thickness of the paper is an indication of its quality, or at least that was always the way it used to be. But with new developments in technology, there are different ways to measure paperweight. Thus, it is very important for you to cut the paper and other specimens like fabrics, sheets, etc. precisely so as to check the grammage accurately.

Round Cutter for Grammage is provided with 4 built-in knives. By revolving the handle knob in a clockwise direction for a quarter a turn, the cutter produces a circular sample of 100 cm². The Round Sample cutter is appropriate for cutting samples from paper, single layer board, foils, and textiles, etc., and for cutting multi-layer board (corrugated board). The material to be cut is placed between the Sample Cutter and a sample cutting pad. When the safety latch is released, lightly apply downward pressure on the handle knob to bring the multiple blades into contact with the material. Specimens are cut by rotating the hand knob under even pressure. The design and precision manufacture of the instrument ensures the specimens are perfectly circular and have smooth edges. Round Cutter for Grammage is testing equipment used in various applications such as acrylic sheets, aluminum, and foils, bags and luggage of cotton, Paper, Printing, Packaging and leather, belts, footwear, paper industry, package material, boxes, polyester & BOP films, thermal paper, Adhesive, and many more. While cutting the sample accurately, you should read and understand the working of this testing equipment. Presto offers an instruction manual with every testing instrument that consists of all safety instructions so that you will not get injured while using it.

This cutting pad is made of Rubber-Foam which makes it easy for the sample to cut precisely.

To cut the sample precisely, you can place the sample on the cutting pad and release/open the Safety latch, a slight pressure on the handle brings internal blades in contact with the sample. Specimens are cut by rotating the handle knob tightly under pressure. The design of the instrument is such that the specimens are removed smoothly and have clear edges. Besides this, the Presto GSM round cutter consists of a safety latch that will be used while testing the sample. You can unlock the sample by pulling the pin in the outward direction.

Round Cutter for Grammage is provided with 4 built-in knive blades. By revolving the handle knob in a clockwise direction for a quarter a turn the cutter produces a circular sample of 100 cm². The Round Sample cutter is appropriate for cutting samples from paper, single layer board, foils, and textiles, etc., and for cutting multi-layer board (corrugated board).

• To perform the accurate cutting of sample with help of sample with the help of this testing instrument, you can follow the below-mentioned steps.
• To begin with the sample cutting, you need to place the sample on the cutting pad.
• After that, you need to release/open the safety latch by putting slight pressure on the handle and bringing internal blades in contact with the sample.
• To cut the sample precisely, you can rotate the handle knob tightly under pressure.

In this way, you can get a precise cutting of the sample. The design of this testing instrument has been made in such a way that the specimen is removed smoothly with clear cutting edges.

To unlock the safety lock, you can pull the lock pin in an outward direction. Make sure that you do not rotate the handwheel in the locked position. It may result in a change in the internal mechanism and jam the whole testing machine fully or partially.
