Guitar Cutting Frames: Faster 50 mm Portions on 60 x 60 cm

If you cut large slabs every day, portion width changes both output and workflow. The Martellato CSM06008 is the 50 mm cutting frame for the Easy System 60 x 60 cm guitar, built for wider bars and larger confectionery blocks across a full slab.

For a pastry chef, the main gain is simple. At 50 mm, you make fewer cuts per slab than you would with smaller frames. That reduces the number of passes needed on large batches while keeping a consistent portion width across the full 60 cm span.

Why choose a 50 mm frame for larger formats

The stated cutting width is 50 mm. That size suits generous pastry portions, large nougat bars, and wide confectionery blocks.

If your product format is already designed around a broader bar or block, a wider frame lets you portion to that target without stepping through as many cut lines as you would with a smaller frame. On a full slab, that means a simpler cutting sequence.

This is the practical reason to move up to 50 mm. You are not changing the slab format. You are changing the number of divisions across it.

What the 60 x 60 cm cutting area changes in daily production

The compatible format here is 60 x 60 cm. On that footprint, a 50 mm frame works across the full width, so you can portion wide pieces from one slab without moving to a smaller working area.

In daily production, that matters because the full slab remains the reference. You can prepare one square slab sized for the system, then portion it into broad sections suited to larger finished pieces.

The Martellato CSM06008 is compatible with the CSM060 base only, and the base is sold separately. If you run the Easy System 60 x 60 cm guitar, this frame is the matching 50 mm option for that setup.

How short wires support precise cuts on wider portions

The wire design is short, with high mechanical resistance. In use, that supports precise cuts even when you are portioning wider formats.

For larger bars, precision still matters. A wide portion is less forgiving visually if edges drift or spacing varies. The short-wire design addresses that point by combining the 50 mm spacing with a wire layout intended for precise cutting.

Tip: If you use more than one frame size in production, keep the 50 mm frame ready for products that are already planned as wide bars or large blocks, so you avoid unnecessary extra passes.

Using fewer passes to portion slabs more efficiently

The direct workflow benefit is fewer cuts per slab than with smaller frames. On large batches, that supports faster throughput.

That does not mean every product should move to 50 mm. It means the frame is useful when the finished item is meant to be generous in width. If the product brief calls for large nougat bars or wide confectionery blocks, a 50 mm spacing is aligned with that output.

By contrast, a smaller format changes the use case. For example, the Mini Guitar Cutting Frame 30mm - Martellato CHIT30 suits a narrower portion width in a mini guitar setup. That kind of frame fits products where a smaller bar format is the goal. The 50 mm CSM06008 sits at the wider end of the workflow.

Where the 50 mm frame fits in a frame set

This frame is part of a wider size range for the Easy System family. Other available sizes are 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, and 60 mm.

That matters if you build a frame set around product formats rather than around one standard cut. The 50 mm option fills the space between medium widths and very broad 60 mm portions. It gives you a clear step for products that are intentionally large, without moving to the widest option available.

The frame system is interlocking for quick disassembly. In a working pastry lab, that supports changing frames within the system when you need to move from one portion width to another.
