COMPUTER CONTROLLED CONTOUR CUTTER 	
	                                                MODEL:  BU-1043 (3 AXIS)
                                
Cutting accuracy, combined with mechanical performance and reliability, means you get high-
quality results from the BU-1043 Computer Controlled Contour Cutter. The base frame is made 
of heavy duty structural tubular steel with aluminum harp and carriage. Harp positioning is 
simplified by use of a hand-held or carriage mounted joystick. Both the contour harp and the drag 
harp will handle up to 70 wires each. 
Optional drag wire packages add even more versatility to your cutter. Production can be doubled 
on pieces with one flat and one contoured surface by using the convenient vertical drag wire 
option. Computer control means that drag wire temperatures are regulated according to the 
motion of the contour cutting wires.
