HFS(R) Heavy Duty Guillotine Paper Cutter 400 Sheet Capacity | Solid Steel Construction (A4-12'' Paper Cutter)

After using an old paper cutter for many years, one that could only handle a few pages, this replacement was amazing. It truly does cut through a stack of paper with no issues. It is quite heavy but works like a charm. And we love the storage on it for tools etc and the ability to remove the lever when we're not using it.

I just received this product today, and it looks great. This seller delivered earlier than expected. And the product looks great.On the quality: Although I haven't used it, the product (HFS(R) Heavy Duty Guillotine Paper Cutter 400 Sheet Capacity) appears sturdy and excellent in every way! Upon trial, the sharpness of the blade, the plastic material part, and the weight make it look durable.This product is a sure value for money. I am happy with this purchase. Thank you, Hardware Factory Store.

This paper cutter is a beast. I haven't tried 400 pages but I have cut through up to 100 pages, pretty easily. My only complaint is that the paper guide shifts. I was doing production cuts, not measuring vlevery time, just bumping against the guide and made several slightly slanted cuts before I realized it. Being aware that you need to check the guide is just something you need to do before every cut. Also, unless you really clamp it down hard, the paper will shift. It's also not great for just cutting a few sheets at a time...probably a smaller rotary cutter would be better for that. But if you're careful and watch your measurements, this is a great cutter.

Good cutter for the price -- even though I'm on my 2nd one. One problem is the packaging -- this cutter is heavy, and the winder on the paper compression bar sticks out. Though there is some styrofoam in the area, it's not enough for this sturdy part to survive rough handling -- my first cast iron handle was broken in half and the 8mm hardened steel shaft was bent -- not sure from what height this unit would have to be dropped to accomplish that, but FedEx managed it. Bottom line, this needs to be a user-installed part. To Amazon's credit, they picked up the broken cutter and I had a new one in less than a week. So save your packaging! until you check out your unit.Other users have complained that the handle on the winder comes off because an inner part breaks in half. It's not broken. Find the two pieces of plastic and put then together in the slot on the winder, then shove the handle back on. It's not the best design, but it works -- just don't pull on the handle, or it will come off.Finally to the cutter. The directions are almost non-existent, and those that are there are a laughable, unintelligible translation from Chinese. A real hoot. Basically follow these rules:1) Only one set of hands on the cutter, period.2) Use in good light.3) Raise the compression bar enough to insert your sheaf, sheets, or book4) Align the intended cut with the blade5) Lower the compression bar enough to keep paper from moving.6) Release the latch, pull on the handle, then re-raise the handle until it latches. Voila.I use this cutter to de-spine books and manuals for scanning. It chomps through anything I can get under the bar -- perhaps an inch-and-a-half -- like butter, and produces a clean cut. I have scanned a hundred thousand pages using this cutter. For the record, I use the cutter without the plastic safety shield -- it's much easier to see what I'm doing -- but reinstall the shield when the cutter isn't in use: the blade is sharp!.I can add that I took the first cutter apart trying to repair it on my own. I liked the engineering I saw. There's nothing "cheap" about this cutter for the price. Good luck with yours.

I was super excited for this product until it arrived all my dreams crushed. This product would have been amazing if it didn’t keep staining my paper. The blade is super sharp and amazing. The only issue was when I got it, it had something stuck to the area where it holds the papers down and it kept staining my pages. On top of that I had to return the product and pay money to return it.
