I have a guillotine trimmer that I've been using for about 25 years, but it's becoming rather sloppy and not as accurate as it once was. HUH!...I can identify with that :( Just wanted to know if any of you folks have knowledge of a company still making these heavy-duty trimmers in either 24 or 30" size. As mentioned, this is indeed a heavy cutter, but has seen better days.
Thanks,
Gary

Dahle and Kutrimmer both make Guillotine cutter's that large. I have both, the Dahle is my larger one. Over 40".

I have a Krause 61" board cutter as we call them and in the US board shear is the right name I think. It is in use for over 30 years at my place and I bought it secondhand. There is an extra blade with it but over that time I only had one blade sharpened while I often cut polycarbonate and even aluminium sheets with it. I think you should check whether the blade is removable and can be sharpened. Similar models were made by Schimanek in Europe but I recall that there was also a US graphic equipment company, like Vandercook that made them.

I have a czech paper cutter like that (Adast Maxima) in my tiny printing shop and it's excellent. The only problem is that it needs three-phase current, takes large amount of place and weights >1 ton. It also have hudge, exchangable knife that has to be sharpened from time to time.

I know that one, more modern than mine. Here it is a 105 cm wide Krause VEB Polygraph so a DDR product from 1953, leather belt driven from a 1 HP 3 phase motor, I guess I can sell it for more now on steel weight only than I paid for it secondhand in the early 80's. Completely forbidden in any shop with employees so it will be sold as steel.
