The silent ally of the preparer: precise cutting at 50 mm for your tyre cleaning sheets
When the clock is ticking and every tenth counts, the details of tuning make the difference. The 50 mm Tape Cutter (ref. T870030) from T800 is designed to do exactly one thing, and do it well: cut adhesive tape to the exact size of tyre cleaning sheets, without pulls, without uneven edges, and without wasting material.
Function and performance
The cleaning sheet only works as it should if the tape covers it evenly and without wrinkles. An uneven cut generates bubbles or overlaps that reduce the effectiveness of the process. This cutter ensures that each section of tape comes out at exactly 50 mm, fitting perfectly over the sheet and maximizing the active contact surface with the tyre.
Its robust construction makes it suitable for repeated use without the blade losing effectiveness, something that is particularly appreciated during long competition days where multiple tyre changes are made between heats.
Assembly and preparation
The process is straightforward: insert the tape, roll the cutter along the strip, and the result is a segment ready to apply. No adjustments or prior calibration are required. Compatible with standard adhesive tape rolls used in slot tyre cleaning sheets.
Ideal for…
- Preparers and drivers who keep their compounds in optimal condition between sessions.
- Home workshops where regular tuning is carried out.
- Tool cases for club or official competition: takes up little space and is always ready.
- Any enthusiast looking to save time and reduce tape waste by eliminating poorly executed cuts.
Aspects to consider
This cutter is calibrated for tape that is 50 mm wide. Ensure that the roll of tape you are using corresponds to this measurement before incorporating it into your workflow.
