uulrich Posted September 14, 2006 Share #1 Posted September 14, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi; Is there any tool out there to precisely cut film between frames? I sometimes have trouble working w/ the scissors to cut exactly between two frames. My eye sight is very good but sometimes there is some tremble while working the scissors, which leads me to ask this question. I thought the movie theatre industry might have some but I don't know hot these devices are called, thus I cannot search for it. Any help appreciated.

Guest Metroman Posted September 14, 2006 Share #2 Posted September 14, 2006 Uwe, Gepe used to make a 35mm film cutter. Might be worth searching for "35mm film cutter". Preference would be for a roller cutter as opposed to a guillotine version. They cut cleaner and keep their edge longer. I think some used to be self-sharpening!

Guest user8952 Posted September 14, 2006 Share #3 Posted September 14, 2006 why don‘t you use a motion picture film cutter? a very precise tool and - thanks to digital editing - cheap to get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacAulay Posted September 14, 2006 Share #4 Posted September 14, 2006 Have a look here. The Kaiser Diacut is easy to use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted September 14, 2006 Share #5 Posted September 14, 2006 Am in the same boat Uwe. I remember the neat cuts I used to get ... then I checked 'em out. They were no better then than now. One thing I do find, sometimes a cheeper stamped metal pair of scissors works better than an expensive pair of surgical scissors because the blades edges are rougher ground and the neg doesn't slide round as much. I will keep an eye out at this thread. It would be nice to have something that didn't require me to concentrate so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jenni; sorry for this dumb question but you want me to use the dia/slide cutter? does this one cut only one side of the frame? I need this one for cutting 35mm film, every few frames one cut. Does the dia/slide cutter cut both sides in one shot? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Felix; Is this the one Andy mentioned? Is there a brand name printed on the bottom plate? Perhaps you could post these details please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamey Posted September 21, 2006 Share #8 Posted September 21, 2006 Hello Uwe. I use this device for my 35mm film cutting. It has a inbuilt cutter, just slide it. You have an option to mount your slides. You are able to view your Slides or Negatives as you rotate the knob. It has a light source, Battery or 3 volt power pack. Very handy indeed, and not to expensive. And it's MADE IN GERMANY. Ken. Welcome, dear visitor!

haris Posted September 21, 2006 Share #9 Posted September 21, 2006 Hama from Germany has (atleast had few years ago) several different models of film cutters. Look at: hama.de | Slide-Framing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Findus Posted September 26, 2006 Share #10 Posted September 26, 2006 I've been using a well sharpened swiss army knife for I don't know how long, alongside a steel ruler this setup works fine for me, and it's quick. I also have a professional cutter cluttered away somewhere but all this stuff is to bulky, takes up space and is a hassle to clean.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richam Posted September 27, 2006 Share #11 Posted September 27, 2006 Found a ROWI film cutter in a bargain barrel at a shop in Hamburg some years ago. It was about 4 euro as I recall. It's perfect; don't know how I got along without it all these years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
