Designed for sign makers, graphics professionals, vehicle wrap installers, production departments, and general shop use, the XA-1 combines OLFA's ergonomic X-Design handle with a versatile 9mm snap-off blade system.
Its compact blade format provides the maneuverability needed for detailed trimming and finishing while remaining versatile enough for a wide range of everyday production cutting tasks.
The OLFA XA-1 uses a 9mm snap-off blade system that provides excellent control for detailed cutting and trimming applications.
As the cutting edge becomes worn, individual blade segments can be snapped away to expose a fresh, sharp edge. This allows professionals to quickly restore cutting performance while maximizing use of the blade.
Part of OLFA's X-Design Series, the XA-1 features a fiberglass-reinforced body with an anti-slip elastomer grip. Its contoured profile provides a secure and comfortable gripping surface for improved control during repetitive cutting tasks.
The ergonomic construction is particularly useful for sign, graphics, and production professionals who regularly perform detailed trimming and material preparation throughout the workday.
The Auto-Lock mechanism allows the blade to be quickly extended or retracted using the thumb slider. Once adjusted, the mechanism automatically secures the blade at the selected position for controlled cutting.
Adjustable blade exposure provides versatility when moving between different materials and applications, from detailed graphics trimming to general production cutting.
A stainless steel blade channel provides additional blade support and stability during use. Combined with the ergonomic X-Design handle and compact 9mm blade format, this construction helps provide dependable control across a variety of professional cutting applications.
The OLFA XA-1 is an excellent everyday cutter for sign makers and graphics professionals working with vinyl graphics, application films, masking materials, paper, packaging materials, and other compatible production media.
