Industrial Guillotine Paper Cutter Shear 31.5" Cut Foot Pedal 3/16" Blade

Industrial Guillotine Paper Cutter Shear 31.5" Cut Foot Pedal 3/16" Blade

This is a heavy-duty industrial guillotine paper cutter and shear with a 31.5-inch maximum cutting width, designed for cutting large-format paper, card stock, foam board, vinyl, and similar sheet media. The unit operates with a manual lever-handle blade and includes a foot-pedal-actuated media clamp that holds material firmly in place during the cut for improved accuracy and consistency. A knurled dial depth-stop and a dual-scale front fence ruler allow for repeatable cut positioning.

Applications

Industrial guillotine paper cutters of this size are used in print shops, sign shops, binderies, packaging operations, and large-format media production environments. The 31.5-inch cutting width accommodates standard and wide-format sheet stock including paper, card stock, foam board, corrugated board, vinyl, and acetate. Foot-pedal clamping is a common feature on production-grade cutters — it frees both hands to position and align the material before the cut, which improves both speed and accuracy on high-volume jobs. Manual guillotine shears at this scale are workhorses in environments where electric cutters are impractical or where the simplicity and reliability of a purely mechanical design is preferred. Units of this type have been in common use in commercial print and bindery settings since at least the mid-20th century and remain in active use today wherever large-format manual cutting is needed.
