Paper-Cutting Machines / A Primer of Information about Paper and Card Trimmers, Hand-Lever Cutters, Power Cutters and Other Automatic Machines for Cutting Paper

A practical manual surveys the design, operation, and maintenance of machines for cutting and trimming paper and card. It traces early methods and the evolution to modern lever and power-driven cutters, then describes typical machine parts and accessories, with chapters on knives, grinding and honing, clamps, cutting sticks, back gages, power transmission options, and safety devices. Operational guidance covers handling, squaring and trimming piles, special cuts, waste and depreciation, plus routine care and troubleshooting. The volume closes with review questions and a glossary to aid apprentices and operators.
