Product Description
110mm Base Plate S162 / 5162 for Round Knife Machine
Best For
The 110mm Base Plate S162 / 5162 is made for KM RS-100, Octa RS-100, and compatible round knife cloth cutting machines that require a smooth, stable base for cutting through fabric layers. Its beveled front lip, roller-wheel movement, and aligned blade slot support controlled movement and clean cutting across garment-production tables.
Key Features
- Smooth fabric glide: Beveled front lip helps the cutting machine move beneath fabric layers without unnecessary bunching.
- Low-friction movement: Integrated roller wheels support easier movement across the cutting table.
- Durable metal construction: Built for repeated contact with cutting tables and the weight of the machine.
- Precision blade-slot alignment: The counter-blade slot works with the rotating octagonal blade for controlled cutting.
- Direct replacement design: Made for straightforward replacement on compatible RS-100 base assemblies.
- Part number: S162 / 5162.
- Pack quantity: 1 piece.
Use Cases
This base plate is suitable for professional fabric-cutting environments such as:
- Garment manufacturing units
- Tailoring and cutting shops
- Fabric processing workshops
- Boutique production units
- Apparel sampling departments
- Textile cutting tables
- Multi-layer fabric cutting applications
It supports cutting work involving cotton, denim, canvas, woven textiles, synthetic fabrics, and knitted materials.
Benefits
Easier Movement Across the Cutting Table
The roller-wheel system reduces resistance as the machine travels across the table. This helps the operator guide the cutter along the intended cutting line without unnecessary dragging.
Better Movement Under Fabric Layers
The beveled front portion helps the base plate enter beneath stacked material more smoothly. This is particularly useful when working with multiple fabric layers.
Stable Cutting Support
A properly fitted base plate provides the foundation on which the cutting machine moves. Excessive wear or damage to the existing plate can affect machine movement and cutting control.
Clean Blade Interaction
The blade slot provides the clearance and counter-cutting surface required around the rotating octagonal blade. Correct alignment helps maintain consistent cutting performance.

How to Use
First, switch off and disconnect the cloth cutting machine before removing the existing base plate.
Next, remove the worn base plate and inspect the mounting area, roller wheels, and blade clearance for accumulated lint or fabric debris.
Then, position the replacement S162 / 5162 base plate onto the corresponding RS-100 base assembly and secure it using the machine’s existing mounting arrangement.
Finally, check that the roller wheels move freely and that the rotating blade has the correct clearance from the blade slot before performing a slow test cut.
FAQs
What is the S162 / 5162 base plate used for?
The S162 / 5162 is a replacement base plate for compatible electric round knife cloth cutting machines. It forms the lower support surface that allows the cutter to move across the cutting table and beneath fabric layers. The roller-wheel arrangement assists machine movement while the blade slot provides the required clearance around the rotating cutting blade.
Which machines use the S162 / 5162 base plate?
This base plate is specified for KM RS-100 and Octa RS-100 round knife cutting machines, along with compatible 100mm/110mm octagonal-blade configurations. Because visually similar base plates can differ in mounting dimensions, compare your existing plate and part number before purchasing rather than relying only on the blade diameter.
Why does a cloth cutting machine need roller wheels on the base plate?
The roller wheels allow the machine to travel across the cutting table with less resistance than a plain contact surface. This makes it easier for the operator to guide the cutter along a cutting line, particularly when moving through larger fabric spreads where continuous machine movement is required.
Can a damaged base plate affect fabric cutting?
Yes. A damaged, heavily worn, or poorly aligned base plate can make the cutting machine harder to move and may affect blade clearance. Check the plate for excessive wear, damaged roller wheels, deformation, or problems around the blade slot. Replacing a worn plate restores the intended support and movement arrangement.
Is this base plate suitable for thick fabric stacks?
Yes. The base plate is designed for round knife cutting applications involving fabric layers, including thicker textile stacks. Its beveled front lip helps the machine move underneath the material, while the roller-wheel system supports smoother travel across the cutting table.
Does the base plate include the cutting blade?
No. This listing is for 1 base plate only. The cutting blade is a separate component and is not included with the base plate unless specifically stated in the product package. Check the product title and pack contents before ordering if you also need a replacement octagonal blade.
How can I confirm this base plate will fit my machine?
Check the machine model, existing base-plate shape, mounting arrangement, roller-wheel position, and part number. The supplied reference for this product is S162 / 5162. If your existing component has a different part number or noticeably different mounting geometry, confirm the match before ordering.
