What is the difference between the F-3000 and F-3100?
The F-3100 was originally developed to meet the hardboard cutting needs
of the European market. The F-3100 cuts denser material and aluminum, has a 63" cutting capacity, and a different cutting head
assembly (the turret on the F-3000 is quicker to change than the pillar posts on the F-3100). To decide which machine is right
for your business, ask whether you will ever want to cut the additional materials that the F-3100 can handle.
How do I square my machine?
The step-by-step procedure is outlined in the Instruction Video and Manual
which are included with the machine. If questions remain, call customer service.
TIP:
To ensure squareness of mat blanks, cut three sides when sizing material. This
produces 90° angles on all four corners.

| Overview |
|
The Fletcher 3100 Multi-Material Cutter will cut hardboard, Gatorboard, foamboard, matboard,
and score glass and plastic.
|
 |
Easy-Install Interchangeable Pillar Posts
Four separate pillar posts are included with the machine. Each can be quickly installed.
The cutting blade or wheel is easily replaced on the pillar post when worn.
|
 |
Pillar post for cutting Gatorboard, foamboard, or matboard up to 1/2" (12mm) thick. Ten
Fletcher utility blades are included with the machine.
|
 |
The Pillar post for scoring glass uses a Fletcher 120° hardened tool steel wheel in a
unit which can be readily removed and replaced when worn. Glass up to 1/4" (6mm) thick can
be scored and broken out on the Fletcher 3100. Ten replacement wheels are included with
the machine.
|
 |
This pillar post is used for scoring acrylic plastics and other similar "fracture" sensitive
materials. Such materials up to 1/4" (6mm) thick can be scored and broken out on the Fletcher
3100. Ten replacement blades are included with the machine.
|
 |
The pillar post for cutting hardboard (untempered masonite) up to 3/32" (3mm) thick uses two
razor sharp tool steel wheels that cut from the front and the back simultaneously. One set of
wheels is included with the machine.
|
 |
The pillar post for cutting aluminum sheet up to .040" (imm) thick is an optional feature of the
machine. Like the hardboard cutter, it utilizes two sharpened tool steel wheels that cut both
from the front and back at the same time.
|
