The HX420 Center Board Cutter is a specialized tool for hardcover book binding, designed specifically to cut cardboard into small sizes for the central strip of hardcover books. It boasts a reasonable structure and simple operation, making it easy to integrate into small to medium binding workshops.

This machine delivers smooth trim edges, high precision, and high efficiency—key advantages for consistent center strip production. It features continuous transportation and cutting of single strip papers, ensuring high accuracy while minimizing paper waste, and avoids the low efficiency of traditional slicing methods.

Ideal for businesses new to automated center strip cutting, the HX420 balances functionality and simplicity, providing a cost-effective solution to upgrade from manual cutting and improve binding quality.

Building on the HX420's reliability, the HX390A Auto Feeding Center Board Cutter takes efficiency to the next level with its integrated auto feeder. Like its predecessor, it's specialized for hardcover book binding, cutting cardboard into small center strips with precision and consistency.

It retains the advantages of reasonable structure, simple operation, smooth cutting edges, high precision, and high efficiency.

Single strip papers are further transported and cut with high accuracy, minimizing paper waste and avoiding the inefficiency of manual slicing. This makes the HX390A perfect for businesses ready to reduce labor and boost production speed.
