Martin Yale Premier Guillotines are suitable for use with a wide range of materials and formats. Even the smallest guillotines are more accurate than the best pair of scissors. As opposed to conventional systems, series 400 guillotines are furnished with an offset blade fulcrum. In combination with the ergonomically designed handle, this assures best possible cutting results with minimal effort. As a pleasant side effect, the blade opening angle is smaller than with conventional cutters, the hand guard is not as high and the unit takes up less space.
