Tip of the month September 2023 - Counter cut / Clean cut

This month's video is about the counter cut to get the best cut quality.
Especially on thick material like carton or board the cut quality in the back of the knife is significantly better than in front of the knife. Reason is that the knife has an angle on the front side and is straight on the back side. To get a better cut quality it would be good to have all cuts behind the knife.

I'm a beginner cutting with the Polar 137 HD. It's a great cutting machine. Any tips on how to set up a program to cut book or brochure covers that will go to the perfect binder or muller machines. These jobs are trickier to cut since you have to cut away from the trim lines. Can you do a tip video based on this?

Yes, it takes a lot more time to do all cuts behind the knife. Some knife grinders are able to grind a kind of a curve on the tip of the blade which makes the cut quality in front of the knife a bit cleaner.
