Crain 303 Loop Pile Cutter

Crain 303 Loop Pile Cutter has a base for cutting over pad or other carpet that protects the material underneath. The blade carrier is adjustable in height so you can lock the beveled guide at just the right position to follow the rows. The cutter has dual blade pockets on both left and right sides, and a large thumbscrew that tightens to lock in the blades. For best results, trim with (in the direction of) the nap sweep of the carpet. Begining at a starting point on the left side of the seam, trim with the blade down on the left side of the cutter. Return to do this starting point on the right side of the carpet and trim with the blade down on the same (left) side of the cutter moving down the seam in the same direction. This procedure will simulate the factory spacing of the carpets rows on most carpets. When necessary trim both edges as close as possible to the tufts, trim the right side of the seam with a blade down on the right side of the cutter. Then retract the blade and repeat with the left side.
