Maintaining AccuCut Machines
and Dies
Randall Enos RCLS Youth Services Consultant
In response to discussing maintenance of the AccuCut
machines with the AccuCut support
staff and how poor maintenance of
the rollers and trays can do
damage to dies information
and guidelines for proper care
and replacement of the rollers and
trays has been posted to the RCLS website
If you own an AccuCut machine look over this
information and follow the guidelines suggested especially
if you borrow dies from the RCLS collection since proper
maintenance of your equipment will affect the condition of
the dies we circulate
Thank you for your attention to this matter
