Triumph 4315 16.875" Semi-Automatic Tabletop Paper Cutter

This is the Triumph 4315 Semi-Automatic Tabletop Cutter!

First of all, it has an electric measurement guide for the back stop for very precise cuts.

You’ll see it goes all the way to about 17 inches—which you can also change to centimeters by sticking something like a paperclip into this little hole.

Pulled out, the handle is loose to avoid any accidental adjustments. Push it in to rotate it and change the measurements.

It also has a key locking system, so if you want to restrict access, and a lovely on and off switch.

In order to make a cut, it has a two hand operation as an extra safety feature.

If you turn on the machine and it’s flash some unusual stuff, it just means that it doesn’t know where the back gauge is positioned. Reset it all the way forward, then you’re good to go.

You’ll see the back gauge in action here.

Compared to a ream of paper, it’s close, but not enough. It should do well to cut about 300 pages. A good guide to use is the paper knock-up block for a maximum stack size.

There we go, not use the block to even your pages together.

There is a laser light to show you exactly where your cut will happen.

With my stack ready, I’m going to lower the safety shield, and and bring down the clamp. Give it a light tap to lock it in place.

Now with both hands, hold the levers down until the cut is finished, then let go. Now I have a very cleanly cut stack of pages.

For consistent cuts, there is a cutting mat should be changed from time to time, which can be rotated around for 4 clean positions, then flipped and rotated again for a total of 8 positions.

It has a cutting width that is just below 17 inches.

Provided accessories include, the knock-up block, a few tools, and a blade replacement holder.

If you are getting an incomplete cut, adjust this knob to lower—or raise—the blade.

This is how to Remove and Change the Blade on the Triumph 4315 Stack Cutter!

You’ll have to find a local business to sharpen the blade for you, and it is a common practice to have a spare blade for when the other one is being sharpened.

So, now I’ll show you how to remove the blade so it can be sharpened.

All of the tool you see are provided with the cutter. We’re primarily going to use the hex-bolt tool and the blade holder.

If you line up the blade holder, you’ll see the two handles line up with two screws that are holding the blade to the machine. We’ll start by unscrewing these two screws. Then fit the holder up against the blade, and twist the handles to latch the holder actually onto the blade.

Now completely unscrew the other three bolts. With all the bolts off, the blade is freed from the machine, which we can safely remove from here. Using the provided tools and this process protects yourself from getting cut on the very sharp blade.

At this point, putting on another blade should be pretty self explanatory, but there is a trick to lining up the blade for an even and complete cut. Do not tighten the bolts very tight to start. With the blade secured in place, but loose still, make a cut without any pages. This should push the blade into an parallel position with the cutting bar.

Now tighten it and do a test with a single page along the entire length. If it works, then you’re done!

If your blade is not aligned at that point, you’ll get an incomplete cut like this. If it still won’t cut the sheet, then make some micro adjustments on the right to lower the blade position a little more.
