2. Get to know your cutter

2.1 Using the clamp

The clamping system enables the operator to control the grip

pressure by means of an integral friction brake, that maintains

the clamping force at the pressure applied by the operating lever.

Soft materials can be held firmly without sustaining damage and

solid materials are held rigidly without movement. By following

the guidelines below it will help you to get the most from the

machine.

Soft materials such as Foamcore boards, lightweight card, etc.

Use light to medium pressure. The underside of the clamp grips

an area nearly 4cm (11/2”) wide with a non-marking sponge

rubber

and reasonable force can be applied. If in doubt clamp a sample

first with the good surface facing outwards.

Do this gently

For harder materials such as PVC foam board, MDF or composite

boards such as Diabond, use medium to heavy pressure.

Do this firmly

When cropping to trim lines, pencil marks, etc. (see drawing),

place material in approximate position under clamp, apply light

clamp pressure to allow the material to be repositioned. Align

the trim marks with the edge of the sightline strip and clamp.

2.2 The multi-tool cutter and the counterbalance

The Excalibur 3S is fitted with two sliding carriages running on a vertical slideway and each carriage is fitted with a cutting

head. The top carriage is fitted with a twin wheel cutter for use with rigid boards such as aluminium composite panels,

MDF, hardboards. Refer to Changing the twin wheel cutter > or Using the twin wheel cutter > for more details. The lower or

multi-tool cutter head has a rotating turret arrangement where either of the two cutting tools can be selected (the cutting

blade or the scoring blade).

To select a different cutter pull the turret handle out to the left

about 6mm (1/4”) and rotate in either direction, the turret will

click into the correct position for the cutter indicated. Please note

that there are three positions on the turret but only two positions

are used on this version of the Excalibur.

The indicator label seen in the cutter guard window shows

which cutter is active.

The counterbalance can be attached to either cutting head for

easy, fatigue free working. it is normally attached to the twin

wheel cutter but to attach it to the multi-cutter head, lock the

twin wheel carriage in place using the white plastic thumb

screw. Raise the multi-cutter to engage the counterbalance

rocker, press the lower head of the rocker to connect it to the

carriage.

2.3 Using & changing the cutting blade

Select the cutting blade position on the turret and clamp the

material in the machine. Move the cutting head beyond the top

of the material to be cut.

Press to engage the cutter. Draw the cutter down to the bottom

of the machine where it will disengage automatically.

Should you engage the cutter by mistake or for any reason want

to disengage the cutter without moving it to the bottom of the

machine pull down the cutter and release lever.

The two support plates either side of the blade are designed to

give maximum rigidity of the blade when cutting hard or dense

materials. To adjust the support plates swing down the cutter

guard by undoing the guard locking knob. Turn the turret ½ turn

until blade is pointing towards you.

Unlock the blade clamping screw.

The support plates can be adjusted by sliding the black pin in the

slot. Move the plates to suit the material and tighten the

clamping screw once the support plates are in position.

For cutting most materials the support plates can be set about 12mm (1/2”) from the blade tip

To change the cutting blade, undo the blade clamping screw a

number of turns to release the blade.

Change or turn over the blade, insert it back into the turret as far

as it will go. Tighten the blade clamping screw, the safety pin

will engage to hold the blade in position. At this point the

position of the blade support plates can be adjusted to suit the

thickness of material being cut, further tightening of the screw

will clamp the blade in position.

Rotate the turret back to the cutting position. Replace the guard

ensuring it is locked closed.
