The Keencut Evolution3 E3BT160 64" BenchTop Cutter is perfect for a busy studio or medium use production environment. It is guaranteed to cut within .008" of a straight line for the length of the cut. The Lift-and-Hover saves time and avoids mistakes allowing users to line up their cuts quicker and more accurately. The site line strip enables operators to see exactly where the cut line is. The stainless steel slideway track and rollers on the QuikSwap tool heads provide a very strong and steady movement up and down the machine, with very little sideways motion that could misalign the cut. Plus, it is equipped with Anti-sag system that holds the cutter bar level for accurate line-up. This Keencut Evolution3 64" BenchTop Cutter is perfect for cutting up to 1/2" thick materials such as foam boards, banners, corrugated plastic, paper, tissue, card, fabric & textiles, inkjet media, pvc booard (up to 10mm thick),and acrylic (score & snap up to 1/4").
The Keencut Evolution3 BenchTop Cutter is designed to fit the optional Keencut BenchTop Bench. Combine the BenchTop Bench with the Evolution3 BenchTop cutter to create the ultimate precision cutting table.

Product Details
Quick and easy to use - saves time and money
Reliable and built to last with a 5-year warranty
Lift-and-Hover (patent pending) for fast, accurate cut alignment
Two unique features enable single-handed, fast and accurate alignment of all materials irrespective of thickness. The Lift-and-Hover system enables the clamping bar to be easily raised and then lowered so it hovers just above the material surface. The anti-sag mechanism means the cutter bar can be suspended exactly parallel to the media surface over the whole length of the cut with zero sag, even on the longest sized cutter.
Guaranteed accuracy
The Evolution3 is the most accurate cutter of its type on the market and is guaranteed to cut within 0.2mm (0.008″) of a straight line for the full length of the cut. The in-built ultra-high precision accuracy, combined with the perfect alignment made possible using the sightline strip, means every butt-jointed panel will join seamlessly. This ultra-high precision accuracy will save you time and money with less waste and fewer mistakes.
Total stability
The self-adjusting track roller system fitted to the QuikSwap tool heads provides a strong and smooth movement up and down the length of the cutter bar, with zero sideways movement to ensure a perfect straight line. This, coupled with rigid blade clamping, gives perfect blade control and spot-on accuracy, so less wastage and mistakes.
Simple to use
The combination of the Lift-and-Hover and the sightline strip really does make cutting easier and faster than ever before. Even first-time users will be able to cut accurately with confidence.
Heavy duty reliability
The entire Evolution3 range has been built to last, using high quality materials and well tested engineering principles. The cutting head bearing system and clamping are tough enough to keep perfect blade control, even with the most difficult of materials. Keencut makes the majority of components on its precision CNC machines, keeping tolerances and quality under constant control, assuring exceptional accuracy and total reliability
Future proof and versatile QuikSwap tool heads
The QuikSwap tool head family gives users the ultimate flexibility. Each tool is designed for a specific purpose, such as general cutting, creasing and fabric cutting and can be attached or detached from the cutter in seconds. You can mount single or multiple tool heads to suit your work. The Graphik tool head is supplied as standard with other optional QuikSwap tool heads available to extend your cutting capability. New tools are also being developed to meet emerging requirements.
The versatile Rocker head
The optional Rocker tool head is the latest addition to the QuikSwap range. It is a versatile general-purpose tool for cutting materials such as banners, cardboard and foamboard up to 10mm (3/8″). The ergonomic design follows the natural curvature of your hand and offers maximum comfort for everyday cutting. It also provides two-way cutting – pulling to cut lighter weight materials and pushing for those that require more effort. For those who occasionally cut aluminium composite panels, such as Dibond or Alupanel, the Rocker head can be fitted with the Tech-D.012 blade. The cutting technique requires a series of careful strokes and we advise that you watch our video guide to perfect your cutting action.
Five year guarantee
Like all Keencut machines, the Evolution3 is built to give many years of excellent service. All components are manufactured in-house to ensure quality and all Evolution3 cutters come with a 5 Year Manufacturer's Warranty.

The Evolution 3 range is manufactured to Keencut’s exacting standards of precision. Every major component is made in its facility so Keencut can confidently offer a 5 year guarantee as well as ultra high precision accuracy. The Evolution 3 has 3 models; the SmartFold which can be stowed underneath the bench, the BenchTop to fix to a work surface, and a portable free hand version. These options combined with a growing range of quick swap tools offer a degree of customization unmatched by any other cutter. Quick swap tools are added over loop in seconds, changing your cutter instantly from a graphic blade holder that can cut in either direction, to fabric cutting retro blades or creasing tool. The tool heads run along a stainless steel heavy duty track delivering perfect blade control even through the toughest materials. Its robust design uses carbon roller bearings running the long guide rails. New quick swap heads are already in development which will offer greater functionality and future proof the Evolution 3 as a truly multi-purpose cutting solution. The innovative Lift-and-Hover system is available on the BenchTop and SmartFold options. Lift-and-Hover holds the clamp just a few millimeters above the media and the sight line strip shows precisely where the cut is to be made. It is designed for use of a single operator and alignment of material is easier and faster than ever before, even for first time users. If you are using the SmartFold you can quickly clear you bench for other tasks, then simply fold it back to continue cutting. The Keencut Evolution 3 range really does accurate cutting easier than ever before.
