Remember even the cheapest Fram uses a blend of synthetic glass fibers mixed with cellulose while your cheapest entry level filters are cellulose only. That's why they can hit 95% efficiency at 20 microns and still meet oem or better holding capacity. Media square footage isn't everything.......
Reads like a paid promotion for Fram imo. Spin it as you will, but as similarly noted here by others, relatively speaking the orange can application shown certainly appears chintzy, especially when it comes to media area.
And while media area may not be everything, in similar non synthetic applications and promotional take on media composition aside, I'll take more of it as compared the alternative shown here.
As for OP's cutter, looks like I can see the guide wheels. Seems to have done a decent job. Guess the official unveiling is somewhere down the road?
Thanks for the pics.
