Teaser Alert!

SandyMcC

Hmm, interesting! Stay tuned for more details. You can also head over to knkusa.com and sign up for the newsletter!

MeFlick

Wow - looks cool! And Interesting. Is that two dual heads I see and two different color inks?!?!?!?!? Oh my! Can't wait to see more!

Penny

Looks interesting. Will be waiting to hear more.

SandyMcC

Yes... I see two heads!

MeFlick

Two heads are always better then one so they say!

Looked over at knkusa.com - very subtle tease picture there too I see. Course I wouldn't have recognized it if I hadn't seen your picture first. I like your pic better - gives a better "visual".

@SandyMcC OK so I'm an idiot, but why would you want two heads on a cutter/printer? I have enough problems setting up for one on the cameo. Is it that you can have each one loaded with a different item (i.e. blade in one and pen in the other) thus saving time? Sorry to be thick but I'm bewildered.

In a word, YES

Di-lite

@MeFlick - pure laziness!!! haha - but I can see the benefits if you are doing a long run on repeat items.

SandyMcC

I do a lot of score and cuts because I love popup cards and fold up things, like boxes. While I can do that on my current KNK's, sometimes I forget to change the layer or change the settings when I change tools. I NEED a cutter with two heads! :P

AnointedHands

Gosh, I sure hope this is something I can attach to the cutter I have already as I can't buy another cutter...I want a 3D printer.

Liz_A

@AnointedHands - think its a new cutter .

1cardcreator

Brilliant if that's what it is! When I saw it I thought maybe just different colored inks like that bug had at one time. If it is so you don't have to switch tools that would really be awesome! I use pens a lot to write sentiments and names so this would be great to have it pre loaded. I'm with you AnointedHands , I cant afford a new one either. Sure is nice to dream though! ~Diane

AnointedHands

Well, new cutter MIGHT count me out. After throwing away 3, I still have 3 left. It would have to do something awesome and I don't get see "awesome" factor just by having to heads. But time will tell...

Liz_A

Well if it is a new cutter, I am saving my pennies starting now !

susan_ID2293

Well if this has the same force as the Air count me in as well.

Looks very promising! Can we get a video demo?

Rorysnonna

Just dropped some change in the crafty change jar. If I start saving now I can be ready!!!

Coming soon!

Maybe we can upgrade our Maxx machines...

They were working on a rotary cutting head add-on, which was intended to be an upgrade, but it never materialized.

CraftyGirl

I was told to start on my Christmas list since I can never think of anything. Hope it will be out for the holidays!

MeFlick

OK @SandyMc do we get a new "teaser" today? - a teaser a day until the machine is available sounds good to me!

ChadatKNK

Yes, I have another teaser for you. Specifically, the name. The new cutter will be:

The KLIC-N-KUT -

MeFlick

Oooooh - Interesting! Thanks for another "teaser" Chad. Look forward to hearing and seeing more s-o-o-n!

ChadatKNK

You got it! I'll have more for for ya soon!

Di-lite

@ChadatKNK How was the wood cut - on a KNK machine? Or is that just a misleading ad.

ChadatKNK

That piece of wood was actually cut on the cutter. There's a rotary tool option.

Whooo hoooo! Sounds very interesting!!!

ChadatKNK

This machine is about 3 years in the making. A lot of blood, sweat and tears (more than I care to admit to :P ) have gone into this beautiful piece of equipment. More details coming!!!

Gabe

WOW! Now if there is Z-Axis control...

Looks like it is time for me to sell my Zing so I can use that money towards getting the Force. I want the Force to be with me!

AnointedHands

@MeFlick
a teaser a day
till the machine's on the way...

Couldn't help myself...it's Friday for me!!!

Z axis control is a very important part of true blue CNC cutting It's one of the reasons we couldn't properly develop a rotary tool for the MAXX and Zing. We needed to go back to the drawing board and start from scratch.

AnointedHands

WOW factor...(and there's no emijo to prove it)
I stopped jumping at every new tech invention and graduated to cutters.

Now I understand the rotary function...I was thinking about it like a wheel going around (as in those rotary cutters sold to cut fabric) instead of a wheel rotating...nobody probably understands what I mean but me.

Gabe

@ChadatKNK, wahooo! I like what I'm reading. A new style of machine able to cut all the standard stuff (paper, chipboard, card, etc.), draw and cut without manually changing tools, plus able to carve thin wood panels. What else can this new Zaubermaschine do? Can I use it as a hoverboard too? Back to the Future!

ChadatKNK

I think I do -- More like being able to mark on something cylindrical?

I wish! It doesn't hover. I wonder though-- Will it blend?

Di-lite

Now you've got me interested - I've been putting my fingers up in a cross to stop the zing from mesmerising me but this is something else. I await full disclosure and others opinions but I think I'm going to jump! Or fall as the case may be.

Di-lite

@ChadatKNK Will it be available in the UK. My brain has gone into overdrive on the possibilities if turns out to be all that it's cracked up to be. Shame about it not hovering tho!

ChadatKNK

We will definitely have it available in the UK. I don't have specifics on dates yet, but I'll have some shortly.

Pretty funny, Chad! Maybe a nutrient juice extractor is just what it needs!

KSG

WOW!!!

1cardcreator

@ChadatKNK, now you have me wishing and thinking... How much do you think I could sell my kids for, lol! Maybe a couple of birthdays and Christmas's and mothers days would cover it instead. I would need the kids to help me drag it in and set it up anyway. This sounds truly awesome! ~Diane

ChadatKNK

LOL. I'm no authority on kid pricing. I'll stick to cutters :P

paupau04

this is so wrong and I don't want to be right. @Rorysnonna, ok you first, you know how I give into peer pressure. I am already trying to figure it in my budget and I must need it, what is it?

My head just exploded.

Rorysnonna

@paupau04
I don't even need to see more! I want it! and my plan is to get the Hubs on board because once he sees that a rotary tools is involved it will be an easy sell. Now my only problem is this business about saving money for my Daughters wedding. But I have a plan for that too. Can you say "ladder"? lol

1cardcreator

@Rorysnonna start thinking of how much money you will save on the wedding with this new tool. Think of all the things you can make for the wedding, (besides the ladder), lol. Congrats too. ~ Diane

Rorysnonna

@1cardcreator
I have been having wedding fun for sure. Bought a new canon laser printer for the invites so that I could foil them. It is so cool. Using my ZING for the favors. We are making wine and cheese berry baskets and I am using the ZING to cut the paper berry baskets. But the best so far is using the laser printer to transfer their names to a little heart shaped wood cutting board. Here a link to a thread with a picture
http://forum.make-the-cut.com/discussion/comment/447384#Comment_447384
so much fun. Now maybe with the new machine I could have carved their names into the wood. How bout it @ChadatKNK would the little cutting board fit into your new machine? We are all itching to know!

SandyMcC

@Rorysnonna, Chad will need to know how thick the cutting board is! Maybe!

Di-lite

Now that you've got us all going NUTs for KUTs can you let us know what thickness of wood and can it also cut/edge lino!
