become enlarged from many cuts

edge of the paper to go around a

 

 

 

 

 

larger diameter at the slitter sta-

paper’s edges which can lead to

 

 

 

 

 

the paper starting to tear all the

solution is to sand/file down the

 

 

 

 

 

frequently used raised areas on

 

 

 

 

 

the slitter’s plastic tube.
