Our take on the Formax Cut-True 15M Manual Guillotine Cutter

The Formax Cut-True 15M is a manual guillotine paper cutter with a 15-inch cutting length and a 26.8 by 42.5 inch footprint, aimed at offices, print shops and schools that need clean straight cuts without power. It uses a hand-lever blade with a clamp to hold stacks steady, so it handles thicker lifts than a rotary trimmer. Compared with electric cutters it is slower and needs muscle, but it has fewer parts to fail and no power cord. Owners of this class of manual guillotine praise the solid build and repeatable cuts; the common gripes are blade care and the space it takes up.

Paper, cardstock and similar thin stock up to its 15-inch cut length. It is not meant for thick board or bound books.
