The blade holder SE is designed for conventional
disposable blades from all common manufactur-
ers.
It is available in two models: one for low-profile
blades and one for high-profile blades.
The blade holder SE has a lateral movement, so
that the entire width of the blade can be used.

Important!
The mounting table must be absolutely
clean and dry. There must not be any
foreign particles on it. Otherwise, sec-
tions could become contaminated.
