Crain 290 Seam Cutter Plus
This cutter excels on carpets with zigzag ("hydra-shift") tufting including commercial and Berber carpets. The blade runs directly behind the center row guide. This keeps the blade away from the offset yarns at the hydra-shift "stop-overs". This prevents the yarns from being sheared, which can cause unsightly seams. The wide base keeps the blade perpendicular to the yarns, further preventing shearing. The tool can also be used as a trimmer for precisely trimming carpet up to Z-bar or vinyl molding.
When working with Z-bar, retract both the row guide and the seam-cutting (slotted razor) blade, and install standard utility blades on the back side. The outer edges of the base provide adjustable guidance for trimming the appropriate amount of carpet to tuck under the Z-bar, depending on the thickness of the adjacent flooring. For vinyl molding, retract the row guide and slotted blade, remove a section of the base, and affix utility blades to the back side of the cutter. An interior slot ensures that the utility blades leave the correct amount of carpet to tuck beneath the vinyl molding.
The net weight of the tool is 1.2 lbs (544 gm)
Blades to suit - UFS9170 Trimmer blades, IF9160 Slotted blades.
