“It was a one-off investment, and it does everything we need—at a quarter of the price of anything else out there.”
Withers goes on to say that the Zapkut Z12 is capable of cutting two or three 8 x4 sheet of lightweight laminated German ply daily—as well as comfortably handling products such as MFC.
He explains: “We use a fine toothed blade and the edge on the cut sheet is beautifully clean—run your finger down it and you'd probably cut yourself!”
