What is CloseKerf©?
CloseKerf© is the name we have given to an innovative new cutter geometry that allows rule to be packed closer together than in a laser cut dieboard.  This new geometry cuts so true that the typical deflection compensation is between 0.002 - 0.004 in. while cutting at an unprecedented 110 - 120 in./min.

Kerf width in 5/16 in. Baltic Birch.

In 0.330 in. thick (5/16 in., 8 mm) Baltic birch dieboard, 2 point rule can be spaced as close as 0.100 in. (2.54 mm, center to center).  At this spacing, there is 0.022 in. ( 0.55mm) of gluing surface between adjacent cuts insuring tight, accurate rule insertion and long term die stability.
