A paper cutter, also known as a paper guillotine or trimmer, is a machine that is created to cut large quantities of paper in a straight line quickly and efficiently. The organizations that benefit from paper cutters include print shops, schools, corporations, nonprofits, marketing agencies, and graphic design studios. They use paper cutters to cut documents, photos, brochures, presentations, posters, and booklets.
Accessories that accompany paper cutters are cutting knives, cutting sticks, and side tables. Investing in these accessories is essential for keeping your MBM Triumph Paper Cutter functioning effectively. They produce high-quality cuts, extend the life of the machine, and improve user safety.
What are Cutting Knives?
Cutting knives for paper cutters are the sharp, metal parts that slice through stacks of paper during the cutting operation. They are the most important component of the paper cutter. These knives are typically made of hardened steel or high-carbon steel for durability and to maintain their sharpness for long lengths of time. Higher-end knives can have coatings to boost their longevity and cutting performance.
A sharp cutter knife blade is critical for making precise and accurate cuts. It results in smooth, clean edges, which establishes a professional appearance in printed materials like brochures or marketing documents. There is minimal tearing or fraying of the paper. However, over time the blade’s edge will dull from being used regularly.
A dull knife causes rough or uneven paper edges. This obstructs the appearance of the documents being cut. Cutting knives need to be replaced or sharpened when they become too worn. We recommend having extra cutting knives on hand. Instead of interrupting work to sharpen blades, you can instantly replace them and keep production running effortlessly. By replenishing these knives periodically, you will have consistent, top-notch cuts.
What are Cutting Sticks?
Cutting sticks for paper cutters are long, rectangular strips, usually made from sturdy plastic, polyurethane, or rubber. They are placed beneath the cutting blade and cutting stack. Their purpose is to protect the blade, and help accomplish a neat cut all the way through a stack of paper. When the blade executes a cut, cutting sticks provide a soft surface for the blade to land on. They prevent the blade from dulling against the paper cutter’s hard surface.
By absorbing the impact of the cutting blade, cutting sticks extend its lifespan. This is because they reduce wear and tear and prolong the sharpness of the blade. After many uses, cutting sticks can start to erode. Worn-out cutting sticks can lead to incomplete or ragged cuts, so it is fundamental to replace them to sustain cut quality.
An advantage to routinely swapping out cutting sticks is that the blade is less likely to be damaged, so users can save money on blade replacements or repairs. In fact, changing out cutting sticks is more affordable and easier than constantly sharpening or replacing blades.
What are Side Tables?
Side tables for paper cutters are additional surfaces or extensions that are attached to the sides of paper cutting machines to increase the available working surface area. They are useful when dealing with heavy stacks or bigger sheets of paper that expand beyond the standard cutting table’s width.
Since there is more room to maneuver, side tables enhance efficiency because they facilitate processing vast quantities of paper quickly. They are used in environments where massive volumes of large-format papers are being cut, like printing shops, architecture firms, engineering firms, and graphic design studios.
Side tables provide stability and support. When cutting huge stacks or oversized sheets, the paper could hang off the edge of the paper cutter, resulting in potential misalignment. Side tables offer support for the material, and stop it from shifting during the cutting process and ensure pristine, accurate cuts. They improve safety since they reduce the need for the user to manually hold and stabilize oversized papers during cutting, which lowers the risk of accidents.
Check Out Our MBM Triumph Paper Cutters and Their Own Cutting Knives, Cutting Sticks, and Side Tables
We carry three different types of paper cutters: manual, semi-automatic, and automatic. Manual paper cutters are fully operated by hand. The user has to manually position the paper, align it, and then pull the cutting lever to make the cut. Semi-automatic paper cutters have both manual and automated controls. The user has to manually position the paper in place, but the cutting blade may be operated by a motor, foot pedal, or electronic control.
Finally, automatic paper cutters are fully automated, and the paper alignment and the cutting operation are controlled electronically or by hydraulic systems. The user usually just inputs the desired settings (like cut size or number of sheets) into the device's control panel, and the machine handles the rest of the work.
