Smx tangential knife
SMX TANGENTIAL KNIFE
Made by SignMAX, the SMX tangential knife is designed for cutting heavier, thicker, and harder materials. It comes with a gliding shoe that is used to hold down the material when cutting and can be adjusted depending on the holding force required. Comes standard with an air-permeable cutting mat that is placed on the tabletop of your CNC machine when using the knife. Air permeability allows the mat to be used while using a vacuum system.
