Extra Paper Guillotine & Paper Trimmer information

The guillotine is a device for cutting or trimming paper quickly and neatly. Its name derives from its similarity with the 'Guillotine' execution device made famous by the French Revolution (The Guillotine was in fact used as an execution method in France right up until the 1970s!).

Cutting With a Guillotine

A guillotine consists of a flat bed onto which the paper is placed, a guard which protects your fingers from the blade and also acts to secure the paper in place, and a large blade for cutting the paper. Depending on the model and quality of guillotine, it may cut several sheets of paper in one smooth cut. Cut too many sheets for your guillotine though, and you will find a rough, almost torn look to the edges of the cut.

Using a Guillotine

A guillotine is operated by guiding the paper into place (a mark on the guillotine will indicate where the cut will take place) and then lowering the blade in a swift but smooth motion through the paper. This motion is similar to the famous execution Guillotines of France and is where the office guillotine gets its name.

Guillotine Suitability

High volume paper trimming is now sometimes carried out by laser cutters in stationery suppliers and printers. The guillotine, however, provides a much more cost-effective paper cutting option for most busy offices. Whether laser cutters are introduced to replace the famous French execution guillotine remains to be seen.
