Can it cut more than paper?

Yes. It is rated for paper, cardstock, fabric, leather, thin plastic and light metal. Thick metal and hard board are beyond it.

How thick a stack can it cut?

The rated capacity is 400 sheets, which assumes standard-weight paper. Cardstock and leather cut in much thinner stacks.

Does it need assembly?

It arrives mostly assembled. You mount it on a bench and set the clamp and measuring guide before first use.

Is it safe for a home office?

It is a heavy guillotine with an exposed blade. It suits supervised shop or office use more than a household with children.

How do I keep the blade sharp?

Hone or sharpen the blade periodically, and cut only materials within its rating. Dull blades tear rather than slice.

How big is the cut line?

The blade is 17 inches long, so it handles sheets up to that width in a single pass.

Our take on the PEXCHO Heavy Duty Paper Cutter 17 Inch Industrial Guillotine Cutter

The PEXCHO is a 17-inch guillotine cutter built for high-volume trimming of paper, cardstock, fabric, leather and thin plastic. Its long blade and 400-sheet capacity put it in the league of shop and print-room cutters rather than desktop trimmers. The trade-off is size and weight: it needs a dedicated bench and careful handling. Buyers who cut stacks daily get straight, repeatable edges; casual crafters will find it more machine than they need.
