You may be noticing that you have to divide your paper stacks into three or four piles so you can cut them. Or your paper cuts have a rough, uneven edge. If so, you are probably using your guillotine cutter for more than it was made to handle. If you are consistently cutting more than 10 or so sheets of paper, it’s worth the upgrade to a stack cutter. With one of QCM’s stack paper cutters, you’ll be able to cut up to 360 sheets at a time. A manual stack cutter is similar in operation to a guillotine. A spring mechanism helps the operator exert the force needed to cut through thick stacks of paper. QCM has stack cutter offerings that vary in price ranges and capacities to fit any budget and need.
Bob posted a while back about the 1200E & 1700E, two great guillotine cutters from QCM. QCM has come out with two more cutters in the same family, but with some upgraded features.
The 8200M & 8700M have the same solid construction as the other QCM manual stack cutters with steel and anodized aluminum components, plus their limited lifetime warranty. The 8200M & 8700M can both handle 360 sheets per pass, and have slightly larger base sizes and paper widths than the other two QCM models. The 8200M is comparable in price has a slightly larger cutting width than the 1200E, and the 8700M compares the same with the 1700E.
