Since the angle bar piece I was using was in a quiet decrepid condition, there was a lot of work for me to be done to remove all the pits and fall on the surface. But If you concerned about this, you can het treat your detail to mach the hardness of the blade, use epoxy to glue a strip of the same metal (saw blade) to the top surface of the angle, or simply make the blade and the cutting edge of the same type of steel. And even later I'll be able to file the detail down to prestine condition. I can't tell how much of an issue it is, since I haven't been using my cutter for long, but it works now, and probably will work for long enough. Othervice, the harder edge vill gradually eat the softer one (which is my case). Idealy, the blade and the cutting edge are have to be made of equally hard steel. What I call a cutting edge here - is a piece with a straight edge presented against the cutting edge of the blade. It reducess the ammount of metalworking to minimum, while producing perfectly capable tool. Thus, the main feature of my design was born - a thin blade, backed with rigid wooden holder. In my following instrucatables I'll try demontrate them, along with different materials you can cut with this tool.Īt the moment when I decided to make a guillotine cutter, for my workshop, I was able to find only one single tutorial on Youtube - this one:įor me the problem was that I didn't have neither a good quality steel for making massive blade, nor more or less capable power tools for working it. I had a bunch of possible implications for the cutter in my head before making one, and now, hawing it built, I'm getting even more ideas. You probably have seen one theese elsewhere, and know how they work. Or, as I know it - a Saber Cutter It's main porpouse is to cut sheet materials (mostly paper), and If you have to deal with this kind of job more or less frequently - this tool can save you a bunch of time and effort. More specifically - a guillotine paper cutter. Weel, it's been a while since my last instructable, but I'm back, and here's the thing for you.
