Features of Maksiwa Manual Slitter for Tape Cutting
Maksiwa International F.160 Manual Slitter
The Maksiwa International F.160 Manual Slitter is a compact, practical machine designed for accurately cutting narrow strips from edge-banding materials and plastic laminate sheets. Its manual operation and adjustable guide make it useful for cabinet shops and woodworking professionals who occasionally need custom-width strips rather than standard-size edge tape.
The F.160 uses an extremely sharp cutting disc to produce clean, controlled cuts. Its adjustment system allows the guide to be positioned for different strip widths, making the machine a useful addition to edge-banding and cabinet-production workflows. Maksiwa specifies a maximum material thickness of 1/32 inch (0.8 mm) and a maximum guide width of 6-19/64 inches (160 mm).
Key Features
- Manual operation for straightforward material sizing.
- Adjustable guide for producing different strip widths.
- Extremely sharp cutting disc for precise trimming.
- Designed for edge tape and plastic laminate sheets.
- Suitable for materials up to 1/32 inch (0.8 mm) thick.
- Maximum guide width of 6-19/64 inches (160 mm).
- Compact design suited to professional cabinet shops.
- Can be secured to a workbench with screws or clamps when needed.
Precise Edge-Tape and Laminate Cutting
The F.160 is designed to produce narrow strips from sheet and roll materials when a specific width is required. Rather than relying on improvised cutting methods, the machine provides a dedicated guide and cutting disc for more controlled results.
Maksiwa describes the machine as suitable for PVC, ABS, paper, wood, and other low-density materials, as well as plastic laminate such as Formica®, provided the material does not exceed the specified maximum thickness.
Adjustable Width
The machine's guide can be adjusted according to the desired strip width. Maksiwa's specifications give a maximum guide width of 160 mm (6-19/64 inches). The adjustment system makes it possible to create custom-sized strips for different cabinet and furniture applications.
Sharp Cutting Disc
A dedicated cutting disc provides the cutting action needed to divide the material accurately. The sharp disc is intended to provide a clean cut while maintaining a straightforward manual operating process.
Because the cutting disc is exposed during operation, proper guarding and safe operating practices are essential.
Compact Workshop Design
The F.160 is designed as a relatively compact manual machine rather than a powered production slitter. This makes it particularly suitable for shops that need to make occasional custom-width strips without dedicating significant floor space to another large machine.
It can be placed on a suitable workbench and, when necessary, secured with screws or clamps.

How It Works
1. Set the guide
Adjust both sides of the guide to the same desired measurement.
2. Position the material
Place the compatible edge tape or laminate sheet into the cutting area.
3. Feed manually
Use the machine's manual operating mechanism to move the material through the cutting system.
4. Produce the strip
The cutting disc separates the material at the selected width.
5. Inspect the cut
Check the resulting strip before using it for edge-banding or another application.
Maksiwa's manual specifically instructs users to adjust both sides of the guide to exactly the same measurement before operation.
Material Compatibility
The F.160 is intended for low-density materials up to 1.0 mm thick. The manufacturer's manual specifically lists:
- PVC
- ABS
- Paper
- Wood
- Formica® and other plastic laminates
- Other compatible low-density materials
Do not use the machine for metal.
What's Included
The standard package includes:
- 1 × Maksiwa F.160 Manual Slitter
- Operating components and cutting system
The exact package contents should be verified against the seller's SKU before purchase.
Safety Considerations
The F.160 uses a sharp cutting disc and presents a cutting and crushing hazard during operation. Maksiwa's manual instructs operators to keep their hands at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the cutter discs, avoid loose clothing, and operate the machine with all supplied protective and safety systems in place.
The machine should be installed on a stable workbench and properly secured when required. Always follow the manufacturer's operating instructions and disconnect the equipment before performing maintenance or adjustments.
Why Choose the Maksiwa F.160?
The Maksiwa International F.160 Manual Slitter provides a simple and efficient way to produce custom-width edge tape and laminate strips. Its manual operation, adjustable 160 mm guide, sharp cutting disc, and compact design make it particularly useful for cabinet shops that need flexibility without the complexity of a powered industrial slitting machine.
For professional woodworkers and cabinetmakers, it offers a practical solution for accurate, repeatable material sizing during edge-banding and panel-finishing work.
