Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Can you give more info Tel, I have a couple of blades for rounders/rangers but that number does not register, a pic would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto Key Wizard Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Manufactured by WHB in 1985, this is basically an electric motor, mounted on a steel support that is secured to the Whitfield press bench, the cutter is of a square shape & fitted direct to the shaft by way of a thread The machine may also be refered to as a "(K)nibbler" Tel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironplanet uk900 Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Bloody dangerous them things. Used one in my "T" days, can't believe health & safety allow them. I suppose they're ok in the right hands. wouldn't let a trainee near one!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Yes they are very dangerous until you get used to them, and know how to adjust them properly. Had many accidents with ladies shoes going under the guard and cuttin a chunk out of the upper. But given the choice I would prefer to have one than not. Same goes for the Auto Soler, would not like be without one of those if I was still operating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been using this machine over twentyfive years and never had a problem, I've never cut or trimmed anything other than what I was supposed to, just need to get a new cutter on it soon, wonder if I can get a Tungsten Carbide one made up, that'll last till I retire Tel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
