[Flubber]

Does anyone know if anyone makes a ruler with a blade attachment?

Available thru Grimco, and probably other vendors as well.

Keencut Javelin? Not really a ruler though but we have one and love it. You could always stick a ruler to it I guess.

For the price they want for those Keencuts . . . I'll stick to the old X-acto and a straight edge :LOL:

One would think that because of their expense, that the Keencuts are not worth it.

But they can rip through coroplast and other substrates 5-10 times as fast as mucking about with a ruler and knife.

The Keencuts have a non-slip bottom so they simply will not move (like a ruler will) once they're positioned.

I have a 104" Keencut and use it on a 5' x 10' cutting mat/table and can get some serious cutting done with that.

If I recall, it was over a grand, but in the past five years, it has way more than paid for itself in time saved.

We have one of these....works pretty good.

Used an image-edge at my previous employer...its pretty good and has the option of a 1/4'' offset cut...but its really hard to keep the segments straight...straight enough I suppose..

I actually taped 2 sections together to keep em straight...boss got upset.

I too have an imageedge. I like it. It's awesome for cutting coro and foamcore.

Also great for cutting large stickers jobs in a flash. For banners I stick with the Fotoba.

Check the hardware section of your local Lowes. Look where they have the big rulers and levels. They carry a straight edge there that has a guide rail for a utility knife blade.

keencut 104" woot!

try cutting 100 36x60x1/2 gator board signs by hand using a ruler and blade.

even with the keen cut i was getting blisters on my palms i can't imagine doing it freehand. none of the cuts will be straight and clean if you do them freehand. maybe straight but not vertically 90' straight.

I have a 104" Javelin and love it. It has a measuring tape on it. I just use it to make square cuts.

How do the sections lock together- that would be my concern- keeping them
straight. If you lift the 10 ft (4 sections) in the middle, is it sturdy enough to
stand up to a lot of repetitions? Thanks Gene

The imageedge has updated to 52"sections in 2016 so only2 sections to cut an 8 foot item. The do have a plastic stiffener insert in the unused track if desired.

I use one similar to the image edge, different brand though.
It a nice augmentation of the ruller, I use a knife most of the time, but the blade is great for cutting anything that requires extra force or multiple passes.

This is the best tool ever, I use it for Coroplast, Sintra, Magnets, etc. Perfect line and cuts great.
