Cutting Corrugated Boards has never been easier with Summa's New Flatbed Cutter Tool

Our flatbed cutters in the F Series range are known worldwide for their flexibility and variety. Their tool range is ever-expanding, providing even more solutions for the types of materials you can cut and for the cutting techniques available to you. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our latest innovation: the Corrugated Tool, a new tool perfect for cutting corrugated boards precisely.

What’s A Corrugated Tool and how does it work?

The Corrugated Tool is developed to cut corrugated board. Sounds simple, doesn't it? It’s not, though. There’s a lot involved in creating the perfect tool to handle these materials. When a knife makes contact with the corrugated board, it hits the materials at various angles,  due to the natural air gaps in the material. This dulls the blades fast and increases the chances of tearing.

Our new Corrugated Tool has a unique design that eliminates these air gaps by compressing the material. This makes the board nearly solid in shape and easy to cut. This not only prevents tearing, it also makes the cutting process faster, smoother, and significantly more efficient.

Corrugated vs Oscillating Tool

When it comes to cutting corrugated board, you might immediately think of the oscillating tool—and you wouldn’t be wrong. Oscillating tools, like the POT (Pneumatic Oscillating Tool) and EOT (Electric Oscillating Tool) in our product range, deliver excellent cutting quality. However, there are some key differences between these tools and the Corrugated Tool that could make all the difference for your workflow.

• Speed & Efficiency: The main advantage of the Corrugated Tool lies in its cutting motion. Unlike the up-and-down motion of an oscillating tool, the Corrugated Tool cuts in a single, straight line—up to 10 times faster! This efficiency makes it ideal for high-volume or time-sensitive projects.
• Durability & Longevity: The Corrugated Tool features a specially coated knife that enhances durability, extending its lifespan significantly. In contrast, oscillating tools do not have this coating, meaning the Corrugated Tool can save you time and money on replacements in the long run.
• Material compatibility: While the Corrugated Tool is purpose-built for corrugated board, oscillating tools offer greater versatility. They can handle a wider range of materials, such as foam, Styrofoam, and paper-lined foamboard. If your projects require cutting across multiple materials, an oscillating tool might be the better fit.
• Precision & Design Versatility: If your designs involve intricate details or complex patterns, the Corrugated Tool excels in precision cutting. Its ability to handle both simple and detailed designs on corrugated board makes it a standout choice for specialized applications.

In short, if your primary focus is cutting corrugated board—whether for straightforward cuts or intricate designs—and you value speed, precision, and long-lasting performance, the Corrugated Tool is the perfect solution.

Cut Corrugated Board Like Never Before!

The tool comes with two different types of compression wheels to suit different applications. Depending on the application and/or when a smaller zone is required, you can switch to the narrow wheels.

• Standard compression wheels: Ideal for cutting materials up to 5 mm thick.
• Narrow compression wheels: Ideal for cutting materials up to 1.8 mm tick

Whether you’re working with thick or thin corrugated materials, our tool adapts seamlessly to deliver consistent, high-quality results.
