#8272 A3 Metal-Base Guillotine Paper Cutter

The Guillotine paper cutter or guillotine cutter in short uses a shearing action between 2 metal edges to cut through a stack of paper. Normally a sharp lever arm (cutting blade) with a proper holder, pivoting on the base, where one can lift up and then push down with ease to slice through the stack of paper. Paper is place on top of the flat surface of the sturdy metal base, aligned and then cut. Just below the cutting blade, attached to the metal base, is the other piece of metal that provide the shearing action of cutting the paper. There are no sharp edges.

On the metal base itself, usually rectangular, are alignment grid for precision positioning, commonly using a dual scale system of metric and imperial measurements, to assist with measuring and accurate cuts. In some cases, the stack of paper is held down by a so called Compressor bar before the actual cutting action. There is also a paper guide bar, usually magnetic, for use with more accurate placement of the paper. The heavy metal base is usually attached with rubber studs to provide non-slip operation.

Our 8272 A3 Guillotine Paper Cutter come with a metal base, attached with non-slip rubber stoppers, with clearly printed metric measurement 5-mm apart on both horizontal and vertical sides. This sturdy guillotine cutter is equipped with a magnetic paper guide bar which is movable, a fixed top bar and an auto Compressor bar. All of these are designed for accuracy and aids in more precise positioning and cutting. The cutting length is from B7 size up to A4 size (91mm to 420mm). The cutting blade can be locked away when not in use for safety purpose. Also, all 3 sides of the metal base have chamfered edge to prevent any accidental cut from the metal. Metal base is spray-painted and coated with a thick coat of paint. Quality, precision and ease of use is the key to cut precisely what you want to cut.
