SLTR-700 Mar-Bel Slitters

Engineered by SNX and inspired by the iconic Mar-Bel design, the SLTR-700 laminate slitter delivers accurate, consistent cuts to prepare your edgebanding material for flawless application. Whether you’re feeding contour or straight-line banders, the SLTR-700 offers smooth, splinter-free performance, fast setup, and long-lasting blade life—making it the ideal solution for shops looking to streamline production and reduce waste.

SNX Technologies is proud to introduce the SLTR-700, our first internally manufactured slitter machine—built on the proven foundation of the original Mar-Bel design. Known throughout the laminate and woodworking industries for its longevity, precision, and reliability, the Mar-Bel slitter has served both global brands and small independent shops for over six decades. With the SLTR-700, SNX carries that legacy forward—manufacturing the machine in Sauk Rapids, MN with the same integrity and precision that have defined our edgebanding solutions.

After Mar-Bel ceased manufacturing due to the impact of Hurricane Ian in 2022, SNX worked closely with their team to continue supporting the machines still in operation—and to bring new units to market with their full support. The result is a slitter that honors Mar-Bel’s original U.S. Patent #3,496,812 design while incorporating SNX’s engineering expertise, domestic production capabilities, and ongoing customer support. With Mar-Bel’s blessing, SNX now produces this iconic machine under the name Mar-Bel by SNX.

The SLTR-700 is specifically designed to help woodworking shops efficiently prep their edgebanding material by cutting coils to custom heights. Using a robust three-blade die system, it produces an ultra-clean 1/16” kerf with minimal blade wear and virtually no dust—making it an ideal prep solution for both straight-line and contour edgebanding workflows.

With its self-feeding design and consistent cut tolerances, the SLTR-700 significantly reduces manual sawing, increases throughput, and delivers a smooth, straight edge every time.

Like its predecessor, the SLTR-700 is a versatile machine built to last. It can easily handle vertical and countertop grade laminates without adjustment, making it a valuable tool for a wide range of applications—from high-volume panel shops to custom furniture builders. And thanks to its durable die system, sharpening needs are minimal—providing excellent long-term value and reducing your total cost of ownership.

We’re officially debuting the SLTR-700 at AWFS Fair 2025, July 22–25 in Las Vegas. Visit SNX Technologies at Booth #1701 for a live demonstration and see how this compact, cost-effective solution fits into your shop’s production flow. Meet the team behind the machine, ask questions, and explore how the SLTR-700 pairs with our industry-leading contour edgebanders for a complete material handling solution.

Style A blades were used in machines manufactured prior to 1973 and feature three 1/16" thick blades, with stiffening collars on the two bottom blades.

Style B blades, used from mid-1973 onward, include two 1/8" thick bottom blades and a 1/16" top blade, eliminating the need for stiffeners. While some older machines have been retrofitted to accept Style B, the two styles are not interchangeable without modification. The SLTR-700 is compatible with Style B out of the box.
