Tiffen M3 Series manual Durable, accurate, and easy to use, Designed for safety

"Quality" is a word long associated with the Saunders name. Saunders has built a reputation for long-lasting quality in photographic products. Now, Saunders Professional M3 Series trimmers bring that same quality to a key area of image finishing.

With the continued growth of digital imaging and inkjet printing, there is tremendous demand for newer and more versatile precision cutting products. The M3 Series trimmers are designed to easily and accurately trim gang-printed sheets containing multiple prints in multiple sizes. This is especially useful at the many self-service print stations springing up around the country.

Durable, accurate, and easy to use

Our cutting head is die-cast alloy construction, which adds strength, maintains alignment, and guarantees years of service. It’s molded to the shape of your hand with an exclusive Comfort Grip that makes repetitive work less fatiguing. Within the housing is a hollow-ground tool-steel rotary blade that is self-sharpening for a long life of clean, precise cuts.

Dual steel rails guide the cutting head with complete stability and precision for accurate, repeatable cuts. Four nylon bearings in the head further ensure quiet, effortless cutting. The extruded aluminum supports on each end lock in alignment. A transparent paper guide automatically holds material in place without risk of damage. An extruded aluminum alignment scale is factory-locked to be perfectly square to the blade edge. The alignment scale has measurements in inches and centimeters and accepts the slide guide for making repeatable cuts. The baseboard wipes clean in seconds. A durable, silk-screened registration grid, laid out in 1-inch increments, covers the baseboard for quick and easy measuring of any print or document.

Designed for safety

The cutting blade is completely covered by the blade housing—making the M3 Series an ideal choice for schools, offices, darkrooms, self-service print stations, and high-volume production labs.
