Intimus Powerline 620RC Manual Ream Cutter Review

If your organization needs a device that can cut hundreds of sheets of paper at once, there's no doubt about it: you need a ream cutter such as the Intimus Powerline 620RC. Here's an in-depth look at this product, as well as how it rates on a scale of 1 to 10.

• The 620RC is a great device to use when you need to cut a lot of paper quickly. This cutter can easily slice through a stack of paper that's 3.14 inches thick - that's the equivalent of 800 sheets, almost 2 whole reams.

• You can use this device to cut both small and large pieces of paper. It can cut paper that's up to 18 inches long, so it's great for both letter- and legal-sized sheets. (Letter-size is 8.5" x 11" while legal-sized sheets measure 8.5" x 14".)

• The 620RC comes with its own stand so you won't need to purchase one separately nor will you need to make room for the device on your work surfaces. The legs of the stand can be adjusted so you can work at a height that's comfortable for you. The stand is easy to assemble so you won't spend a lot of time putting it together.

• Your paper will be evenly cut because the 620RC has a manual clamp that will exert even pressure over the sheets and prevent them from fanning. There's also a back gauge that's operated by a hand crank. You can use this feature to keep your pages flush. And if you need to measure your materials before cutting them, there are metric and standard rulers you can use.

• The 620RC is equipped with a cutting light so it will be easier to see what you're doing. The light is battery-operated so you won't need to plug this cutter into the wall.

• This trimmer is very safe to use because it has a cover that will keep your hands out of the cutting area. The blade won't move unless the cover is closed, so there's very little chance of an injury occurring when you use this device.

• The 620RC is pretty big because it measures 30" (width) x 30.5" (depth) x 30" (height). Also, it weighs 237 pounds. It will be difficult to move this device around, so make sure you pick a good spot for it.

Final rating: 9. The Intimus Powerline 620RC is a pretty powerful ream cutter. Its 800-sheet cutting capacity is simply phenomenal and you'd be hard-pressed to find another device that can process so many sheets at once. It's also great that you can use it to cut paper up to 18 inches long. This device's safety features are excellent and you're definitely going to feel safe while operating it. And it's nice that it comes with a stand and that you don't have to put out any extra money for it. In short, the 620RC is a great product, so take a look at it today.
