Accufast KT / KT 1.5 / FX (Formax FD 260 / FD260-10, Rena T-300) — Read This Before You Buy
Description
The Accufast KT family also reached the market wearing other badges — the KT was sold as the Formax FD 260 and Rena T-300, and the FX as the Formax FD260-10. Same machines, different nameplates — and the same honest advice applies to all of them.

The Accufast Reality — Read Before You Buy
Straight talk: Accufast closed its doors years ago and is not coming back. Parts are increasingly scarce, we do not buy Accufast machines back for resale, and we do not recommend buying one today — even at a tempting price. A machine is only as good as the parts supply behind it.
Protect what you have. These machines were built to last, and the mechanics will outlive the electronics every time. If you’re running one, put it on a quality surge protector, and add static protection — especially in dry winter air or on high-speed paper handling. Power spikes and static are what kill boards, and on these machines a board may not be replaceable at any price. It’s the cheapest insurance there is for equipment you can’t simply reorder.
Already Own One? We Still Stock Accufast Parts & Tabs
Run it as long as it runs — and let us help you keep it running. We still stock aftermarket Accufast tabs and a shelf of Accufast parts from our decades servicing these machines. When they’re gone, they’re gone — call 866-430-2874 and we’ll check the shelf for your exact part.
Shopping for a Replacement?
Put your money on a supported platform with parts, service, and lifetime phone support behind it: the Rena T-750, the heavy-duty Rena T-950 / ATS-9900 (refurbished, in stock), or the refurbished Pitney Bowes W350. Tell us your volume and we’ll match you honestly.
