DOWNERS GROVE, (IL), November 1, 2005 - Flexible Steel Lacing Company (Flexco) has announced improvements to two belt cutters, providing safe, accurate square cuts for belts with thicknesses up to 1" (25 mm).
Both the 840 Series Belt Cutter and the Clipper® 845LD Belt Cutter share improved safety design features that protect users and prevent accidents during and after cutting.

They are equipped with a specially designed drive wrench for chain tensioner belt adjustments. Removable clamp bars hold belts securely and can be lifted from either end to simplify routine operation and maintenance.
