Which Allpax gasket cutter is right for me?
Compare extension-style and rotary-style cutters by cutting range, portability, material capability, and production needs in our Find Your Gasket Cutter guide.
What materials can Allpax gasket cutters cut?
Most Allpax gasket cutters are designed for non-metallic materials such as rubber, cork, fiber, graphite, and Teflon (PTFE). The SM4 can also cut certain metallic gasket materials. Check the product specifications for model-specific capabilities.
What size gaskets can Allpax gasket cutters make?
Allpax offers cutters for a wide range of gasket sizes, from compact models for diameters as small as 1/4 inch to larger extension-style and rotary-style cutters for gaskets up to 61 or 62 inches. The SM4 can reach up to 80 inches with optional scale bars.
What is the difference between Heavy-Duty, Light-Duty, and Compact Gasket Cutters?
Heavy-Duty cutters feature a durable brass cutter block and offer the widest cutting range, making them a good choice for frequent use and larger gaskets. Light-Duty cutters provide a more economical option for general gasket-cutting applications, with capacities up to 37 inches. Compact cutters are designed for smaller gaskets up to 6 inches and are easy to carry and use in the field.

The M3 is hand-cranked and mounts in a vise or clamps to angle iron, making it suitable for fixed or mobile use with non-metallic gasket materials. The Motorized M3 is bench-mounted and powered for faster, repetitive cutting of non-metallic gasket materials. The SM4 is a larger, bench-mounted manual cutter designed for both metallic and non-metallic materials.
