Guillotine blades are dropped or pushed down from above, slicing through whatever is placed underneath them. Their method of operation is almost identical to that of the infamous execution device used in 18th-century France. Guillotine blades are primarily used to cut through paper, film and foil products in the manufacturing industries.

You likely encountered a guillotine blade for the first time when you were still in elementary school. Those large, square paper trimmers that every teacher seemed to have were rudimentary guillotine blades. They were used to cut large sheets of paper down to size or to make strips or certain shapes of paper. Guillotine blades are used for the same purpose in industrial businesses.

One of the most important differences between guillotine blades used in schools and in businesses is strength. A school-sized paper trimmer may only cut through four or five sheets of paper at a time. However, some industrial blades can easily slice through a hundred or more sheets at once. The type of guillotine blade you choose will depend on the job for which you propose to use it.
