Model: CRA-395 / CRA-375 

The Blue Jay™ Spread and End Cutting System is a stunningly efficient straight line end cutter; it requires only one operator with each press of the button. Available as a stand alone end cutting unit (CRA-395) or with an optional Pull-Off (CRA-375) for even faster cutting production and improved accuracy. Spreads up to 9 inches (22.9 cm) in total thickness.

Blue Jay with Slitters
For added panel cutting features, Eastman's 548BK round knife slitters can be added to the Blue Jay End Cutting System. This will allow for cutting in both horizontal and vertical directions, maximizing material utilization and further decrease labor costs. Each 548BK slitter can be adjusted on the track to within 3" of the width of the table, allowing for complete coverage of the width of the material being cut. The number of slitters fitted on the track is material width and table size dependent. Plexiglass covers shield the cutting action providing for safe operation of the system and the material feeding unit.
