The Robin is a light weight, 4 inch round knife machine with the
power to cut heavy cloth and maneuverability to cut intricate pat-
terns. It is available with a cool running Perma-Field motor in either
110 or 220 volts. The Robin’s compact standard and thin base plate

keep hands, arms and hair away from the knife area may
result in serious personal injury.
