So, I have, and still use on a daily basis, a Chandler &Price, Patented July 14, 1909, 26" guillotine cutter. Not sure what year it was actually made, but I can do some jobs on there that I cannot safely do on our powered cutter. Anyway, the blades have been ground down to where all of the adjustment is gone, and our guy that sharpened our blades has gone out of business. Does ANYONE have any idea of how I relate to someone who sells blades the specifications I am needing to get a fresh blade or two in order to keep this dinosaur alive for the next several years?
Speaking of old guillotine cutters ......

Just out of curiosity, what would you still have a need for having this huge hunk of metal sitting around over a decent hydraulic cutter?

Do any of these help? https://www.adss.net/Chandler-Price...90_1495.htm?osCsid=rdie532nfemcccb3e9ce1bgo16
I don't think that I have all of the attachments to do booklet trimming on our powered cutter, and find that the mechanical cutter gives me better control of the cut. Whether it is a face trim only, or trimming on all three sides, I'm in control of the status of the booklets in the pile, as well as the blade. Sure, I'd love to have a booklet maker with a 3 knife setup, but cannot justify the investment.
Let me do some measuring and see what I can come up with. Thank You arrossetti for that information!
