Guillotine ?

[NikGrey]

I find myself cutting pre-cut mug Sub Papers by hand on a Self Healing cutting mat and this is taking time - I think I need some kind of cutting machine.

I have found this: Ear

And it looks good but I am concerned about the cost of replacement blades !

Any advice is what best to buy for straight cuts in A3 and less?

seems cheap to me for what it is , we use a standard rotary cutter for mugs etc cost us about 20 quid and never needed to change the blade to be honest itd probably be cheaper to change the cutter itself for large paper i have a guillotine but that cost £500 secondhand but it is a tasty bit of kit and probably a bit of over kill for what you need

I did buy this in the end after researching for a while - will let you know what it is like, I do agree - seems cheap for what it is.

For sublimation, the finished/end product is not the transfer paper, so, as long as the blade is cutting, then it doesn't matter if the blade gets a bit blunt and the cut is a bit jagged - this is equally true for the cutting blade on printers.

I have it, When I took receipt of the box I thought it was empty - this thing is entirely plastic apart from the blades and a few bolts. There are 6 blades supplied apart from the installed one (for the rotary cutter), one of which is another straight cut.

But this will do me - it cuts straight, much better than my original system of a cutting mat, Triangular rule (A 'Ruler' is a King or Queen), and a scalpel.
