How many sheets can it cut at once?

Up to 30 sheets per pass. Thicker stacks should be cut in batches to keep the cut square.

Is it better than a rotary trimmer?

For stacks, yes. A guillotine with a clamp gives straighter cuts on thick paper, while rotary trimmers suit light single-sheet work.

It arrives largely assembled as a tabletop unit. Setup mainly means placing it on a stable surface and checking the blade and clamp.

The guillotine blade can be serviced, but sharpening or replacement is best handled by a specialist rather than done at home.

Offices, copy rooms, print shops and schools that trim stacks regularly. Casual crafters will find it heavier than they need.
