Anyone know anything about this paper cutter?

Hi there,

I am in search of a paper cutter. I’ve come across this one below - it seems a bit large for my needs however it’s supposed to be in good working condition and the seller only wants $100 just to get rid of it. It looks like it could be a Triumph maybe?! I don’t have much information on it. Anyone know much about it and how accurate and clean it is with Lettra? I want to be able to cut to greeting card/business card sizes. Thanks for your help!

It looks like an Ideal 4810A. See more here: http://drukwerkindemarge.org/electrische-snijmachine-ideal-4810-a/

We had one that looked like that. It was a challenge cutter, they stopped making parts for it, ultimately had to scrap it. But it was a decent cutter for many years.
Looking at the pics again, ours was similar but it had an electronic back stop and digital display.

Check with a company that makes Triumph. They might be able to help you. They make a cutter close to the one in the picture.

It is a little weight cutter (meaning not a production cutter) which will do cutting small stacks of paper or cover stock for short run job. 8.5” x 11” or less size sheets.

If you need to cut large amounts of paper, for hours, it might not hold up to the work load.
