. One you should take a look at is the Challenge Spartan 150A. Here's everything you need to know about it. Check it out.The 150A has a 15.75-inch cutting length so you'll be able to cut letter- and legal-sized paper without any problems at all. Smaller sheets can also be cut so you can use this machine for just about all of your cutting needs.
This machine has a clamp opening that's 1.5" across as well as a 1/2-horsepower motor so you can trim around 200 sheets at a time. When you consider that half a ream of paper is 250 sheets, the cutting capacity seems particularly impressive.
The 150A has a roomy table so you won't feel cramped when you go to cut your paper. There's a full 9" of room in front of the blade for an easy cutting experience.
This machine has a number of great safety features so you're less likely to become injured when using it. It has plastic safety guards on both the front and rear tables to prevent hands from getting anywhere near the blade. (The front safety guard will flip up when cutting is done.) Also, this cutter requires two-handed operation so it's just about impossible to have your hands in the vicinity of the blade when you cut.
The 150A is equipped with an automatic power clamp that's very easy to use. The clamp will put the right amount of pressure on your materials so you can get a clean cut. Meanwhile, there's a LED display that will let you know how the backgauge is positioned as well as an illuminated cutting line. All of these features will help you get the cut you need.
This device's blade gibs don't require much maintenance so you can spend your time working on other things. The gibs help control the position of the blade and they're made from a very durable material called ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. (UHMW for short.) It's self-lubricating, hence the lack of a need for maintenance.
You might have some trouble finding room for this cutter because it measures 21.5" (height) x 25.75" (width) x 31" (length). If you don't have enough room on any of your work surfaces for it, there's a stand that can be purchased. Also, please be careful when moving this device it weighs 170 pounds, so it's not lightweight at all.
The 150A is very durable because it has parts that are made out of such materials as steel and cast aluminum. Nevertheless, it comes with a one-year warranty so you can get it fixed or repaired if you need to.
The Challenge Spartan 150A is a first-rate electric paper cutter that's ideal for any workplace needing a device that can cut hundreds of sheets at a time. This machine has thoughtful safety features, it's easy to use, and it doesn't require much maintenance. It's also very durable and has a good warranty. The size might be a bit much for some work surfaces, but you can always purchase a stand for it. The Spartan 150A is worth your consideration, so take a look at it today.
