The IDEAL 1038 is a robust professional quality 50 sheet capacity Solingen steel blade A4 Guillotine with lockable fold away front clamp and strip cutting device offering a professional print operation. Its features are intended to ensure a quality of finish and accuracy of cutting that is repeatable time after time. The strip cutting feature is useful where this level of refinement is not offered on a commercial guillotine. The 1038 is a professional Guillotine able to handle the most demanding trimming task. It is a versatile unit using a high quality Solingen steel blade, robust all-metal construction and offering features like strip cutting down to 1mm wide strips. A manually operated clamp keeps paper tightly positioned for top notch trimming. The IDEAL 1038 has ease of operation in mind. Pull out extensions support the paper during cutting, while the manual clamp holds it firmly in place. There is calibrated movement of the front gauge which is lockable for further accuracy, while safety is assured by the knife cover which moves with the blade, so ensuring that the blade is never exposed, while not impeding access to the cutting area.
