Description Product Overview The Crain 300 Loop Pile Cutter is a trade-focused cutting tool designed for rough cutting and trimming of loop pile carpet directly from the roll. Built for efficiency on site, it allows installers to make fast, controlled cuts while maintaining clean edges and minimising material waste. Its compact design makes it suitable for both initial breakdown and preparation work before final fitting. The tool is engineered to cut from the carpet backing rather than the face yarn, reducing the risk of shearing and yarn distortion. Steel springs on both sides of the cutter hold the carpet down during cutting, improving stability and accuracy. The Crain 300 Loop Pile Cutter is a practical solution for installers who need a reliable, easy-to-use cutter for everyday carpet handling and preparation tasks.
