Do we have a guillotine paper cutter?

Do we have a guillotine paper cutter? They are used to cut stacks of paper very cleanly. I’ve got a project where I may need to cut a bunch of paper to the same size. I can do it on a regular paper cutter but I thought if we had one…

We have one in the ca room

Cool. I thought we might have one. I don’t need it quite yet but soon. Where is it kept. Thanks

I think I saw it on the floor leaning against the wall to the right of the flat storage cabinet. (That’s below the wall-mounted TV.)

Does that require training to use?

Oh I could slap a big sticker on it :smiling_imp: but I trust the peoples to be able to not cut themselves with a “semi-big” paper cutter.
Just don’t cut a huge stack at a time and realize things want to slip as you’re cutting so watch the end of your cut. -two cent wisdom from a paper cutting professional.

My experience has been once your get above 10 sheets you may have problems with the paper shifting as the cut progresses since the cutter doesn’t have a lock-down clamp prior to cutting.

How many pages can that new hydraulic press cut through?

KIDDING!!!

Actually, I think that the answer to your question is No. We’ve got a couple of the kind that use a handle to slice paper. We’ve got a really big one (takes master sheets), and that may use a rolling slicer. But – the big ones that are electrically operated and you have to punch a button on both sides to keep your hands OUT? No – we don’t have one of those.

That’s what I thought (although with CA you never know). I’m looking for something like this. It’s not electric, but it clamps the paper down. It will cut 400 pages at at time really straight (not that I need to cut that much).

Where I work about a mile and a half from DMS has a hydraulic paper shear that can cut several inches at a time with ease. You can cut a full ream of copier paper easily in under two seconds…

Depending on when you need to get it cut I may be able to help facilitate access to the machine.
