CARFOIL. EdgeRoll Set — Cutting Guide for Parallel Cuts

Parallel cuts without an opposing edge

You've laid the film — and there's no opposing edge to guide the cutter against. Knife-less (cutting-tape method) won't work here, and freehand will run crooked. That's exactly why we built the EdgeRoll: a cutting-guide attachment for your knife. The wheel rolls along the body edge, and the blade tracks parallel at a constant distance.

What's in the set

• Two attachments, left and right — developed and manufactured in Switzerland. They cover both cutting directions.
• Ball-bearing wheel — runs cleanly along the body edge, no skipping, no binding.
• Two cutting distances, 5 mm and 10 mm — 5 mm is the default. If you need more material to fold under, pull out the wheel — that gives you 10 mm.
• Transparent packaging box 65×45 mm — labelled, compact, fits in any tool pouch.

What's not included: the cutter and the blade. The EdgeRoll is an attachment that clips onto your own knife. We recommend an Olfa cutter with a 30° blade — that's the standard in pro wrapping.

How to work with it

1. Pick the attachment by cutting direction — left or right — and clip it onto your knife.

   

2. Pick the stage: 5 mm by default, 10 mm if you need more material to fold under.
3. Set the wheel against the body edge. Important: the wheel has to touch the edge along its full length, otherwise it'll skip.
4. Pull the blade smoothly through the film — pressure from the wrist, not the arm. Constant pace, no hesitation.

Pro tip: If you need another 1–2 millimetres of material to fold under, angle the knife slightly so the blade and the roller travel under the panel edge.

What the EdgeRoll is built for

For wrapping and PPF wherever there's no opposing edge: doors, tailgates and bonnets. The tool is universal — it works with any standard cutter that takes a 30° blade.

FAQ

Are the cutter and blade included?
No — the EdgeRoll is an attachment for your existing knife. We recommend an Olfa cutter with 30° snap-off blades — both available in our shop.

Do I really need both attachments?
Yes — left and right cover both cutting directions. Depending on how the body curves, you'll switch attachments — otherwise you can't get cleanly into certain areas.

How durable is the EdgeRoll?
The wear parts are the blade shoe and the axle sleeves — they wear down if you switch frequently between 5 and 10 mm. The ball bearing, on the other hand, lasts practically forever.

Does the EdgeRoll work with PPF as well?
Yes. PPF is thicker than wrapping film, but the mechanics are exactly the same — the blade tracks parallel at a constant distance from the body edge.
