Sawtrax people- ACM cutter?

[Gene@mpls]

I just got a Sawtrax email and noticed the ACM cutter- anyone have that?
I cut 18 sheets of dibond last week for a (big) tradeshow display and
what a mess- and then have to sand the burrs off. Wondering if that works
as advertised- the women in their videos seem to have a little trouble
pulling it through the material, but fortunately I have a little more weight
behind me:ROFLMAO:. Thanks Gene

I have a Fletcher 3100 which works great for coro and lighter plastics
but couldn't handle dibond. How much effort to cut a 4' dibond panel?
After looking at the pictures- it appears that there is only one cutting
wheel? And a different one for .040 alum? The Sawtrax uses a cutting
wheel on each side of the material.
Thanks Gene

We have this and it cuts very nice and really no effort at all.

We have tried Fletcher, KleenCut, and panel sawing ACM.

By far the best option is a power shear, smooth edges and no folding of the face! I would think a stomp shear would do an equally nice job.

We have one, purchased about 6 months ago, pretty disappointed in it. Works ok with 2 mil dibond, but 3 mil it is not very good in my view. We have gone back to using the sawmost of the time now untill we can find a stom shear on wheels. One other thing the bottom handle that sticks out in in a U shaped bracket, and the bracket has bent with each use and now needs to be replaced. Good idea, but not as good as expected.
