Ray-Ran – Hand Operated Cutting Press

Brought to you by Ray-Ran, our plastics specialist testing brand, this powerful sample cutting machine is particularly suited for making superb samples from thin and flexible materials. 

A super sharp sample cutting machine  

The RR-HCP hand operated cutting press is manufactured from high-grade D3 tool steel. So you get cutting-edge sharpness for repeatable test specimens and the most accurate test results. 

Long life sample cutting machine  

The cutters of our hand operated cutting press devices are diamond tipped and heat treated several times during the manufacturing process. A powerful combo that cuts out machining stresses while increasing wear resistance.  

A powerful sample cutting machine 

Don’t let the conveniently compact design of the RR-HCP sample cutting machine fool you – it packs a powerful punch! Depending on the operator’s strength, it can generate a cutting force of up to 6kN. 

A spring-loaded, hand operated cutting press 

Our sample cutters features a spring-loaded ejection system that removes the finished sample from the cutter while protecting the cutting edges.  

Each cutter comes with a standard fixing shank, while special purpose shanks can be manufactured to suit your requirements…just ask! 

A stable, secure hand operated cutting press 

Each sample cutting machine has a solid cutting base of 30cm x 15cm plus a polypropylene cutting board to support the sample material you’re cutting from.  

The base plate features four fixing holes, so you can fasten your sample cutting machine to a rigid bench, or worktop, to obtain the optimum cutting load.  

Sample cutting machine perfection – as standard 

We can make our cutters to meet any size or shape you require and to any international standard, including ASTM, ISO, BS, DIN, and JIS.
