Guillotine cutting
Guillotine cutting is like using a big, super-sharp pair of scissors to cut paper or fabric. Imagine you have a really thick piece of paper or fabric that you want to cut in a straight line. A guillotine cutter has a long, flat blade that is really sharp and can slice through that material easily.
To use a guillotine cutter, you put the paper or fabric under the blade and then use a lever to bring the blade down quickly and evenly to cut through the material. It's almost like a big paper slicer that you might see in a deli, but instead of slicing salami or cheese, it slices through paper or fabric.
Guillotine cutting is a really precise way to cut materials, and it's often used in industries like printing, where they need to cut large sheets of paper into smaller sizes. It's also commonly used in sewing, where you need to cut fabric into specific shapes and sizes.
While it might sound a little scary (after all, we've all heard of the guillotine used for chopping off heads back in the French Revolution), a guillotine cutter is actually very safe to use when used properly, and it makes cutting through thick materials a breeze!
