127 film slitter- inside
Here's a view of my 127 film slitter with the lid open. It's impossible to see, but in the lower left there is the corner of a razor blade sticking up. (see my next photo for details)
The wire form on the right is used to keep the coiled roll of 120 film under control while pulling the film through the box.
The felt is used to keep from scratching the film, and also to hopefully remove dust as it goes.
It will be important to keep this felt clean, as a spec of sand or foreign object could put a scratch on the entire length of film. Not good.
