ProductDescription

The Formax Cut-True 31A Large Format Electric Guillotine Cutter gives precision cutting for paper stacks up to 28" wide and up to 4" high. Its user-friendly, intuitive features include a 7" color touchscreen control panel, automatically-adjusting back gauge and the capacity to program up to 100 jobs/100 cuts, making frequently run jobs quick and easy to duplicate. The bright LED Cutting Line allows for precise adjustments, and the hardened steel blade makes crisp, accurate cuts, time after time. To help operators maneuver large paper stacks, the Cut-True 31A features extra-large side tables. A false clamp is included to minimize the risk of marking sensitive paper stock or perfect bound books. The false clamp can be removed to decrease the minimum cut length to 1.18", and stored within the machine when not in use. It is also featured with an internal light to illuminate the cutting area. An infrared light beam curtain and two-button operation provide for multiple levels of safety. Other safety features include dual-button operation and an infrared safety curtain, a lock with key, blade lock, automatic blade return from any position, an easy-to-use blade change safety tool, and a wooden paper push for safe alignment. This Formax Cut-True 31A 28" Electric Guillotine Cutter is perfect for transforming large sheets into brochures, invitations and more, and is a great addition to print shops and in-plant finishing operations.
