ABM Video Series: How to Operate a High Volume Die Cutting Press

Welcome to the third installment of our video series. We’re happy to have you back! Previously, we described and showed you videos on how to make a one inch button and how to use an adjustable circle cutter to cut out an individual graphic for a single button.

Now, the question you may be asking yourself after watching those two videos is, what do I do if I want to make a whole bunch of buttons? Do I have to use the adjustable circle cutter to cut out each graphic individually?

And the answer, of course, would be no. To be more specific, the answer is the high volume die cutting press that we offer at American Button Machines.

You can see how easy the press is to use in the video below. Before we get to that though, here are a few of the features that make it such a fine button making product:

• Cuts up to 50 individual button graphics at a time.
• Ruggedly built structural steel and industrial grade aluminum construction.
• Ergonomically designed to allow for smooth, easy operation.
• Works for left-hand, right-hand, and two-hand operation.
• The cutting board keeps the sharp edges of the cutting die from coming into contact with the metal surface.

And there are plenty of others features as well.  Follow the link to learn more about the high volume die cutting press or to purchase one.

Below, you will see how easy it is to operate:

ABM Video Series: How to Cut Circular Button Graphics Using an Adjustable Rotary Circle Cutter

We began our video series with a quick tutorial showing you how easy it is to use a button machine to make a button. Video #2 in the series is going to show you just how easy it is to create perfectly circular graphics for your buttons using our adjustable rotary circle cutter.

Before we get to the video, a few quick highlights about the adjustable circle cutter:

• Each adjustable circle cutter has five different pre-set stops for the most popular buttons sizes (1″, 1.5″, 2.25″, 3″, 3.5″).
• You also have the flexibility to adjust to any special size for custom cuts.
• The edges are knurled, which allows the cutter to grip paper and fabric for easier, more stable cutting.
• The top-mounted, quick-release knob allows for fully adjustable incremental cuts.
• And, most importantly, if it were any easier to use all you would have to do is think about your graphic being perfectly cut out…and it would be!
• Visit our main website to learn more about and purchase our adjustable circle cutter.
