FAQs

What is the difference between a paper cutter and a trimmer?

Paper trimmers are designed for use with small stacks of paper. The paper is placed under a guide, and then the blade slides along the paper, trimming it down to the size you want. Many paper cutters, on the other hand, are designed to work with larger quantities of paper, and have a guillotine to cut the paper.

How much do Challenge cutters cost?

Challenge cutters cost between $2,700 and $37,000. This price range allows you to choose an affordable piece of equipment for your office. From manual to automatic paper cutters, you’ll find a product from Challenge Machinery to suit your budget.

Which is better: manual or automatic paper cutters?

Manual paper cutters are best for organizations handling small loads of paper. They are cheaper to run, and give you greater control over the amount of pressure applied, making them ideal for delicate paper jobs. The disadvantage of manual cutters is that they carry a risk of human error. Automatic cutters eliminate this risk and are great for processing high volumes of paper. While an automatic or semi-automatic cutter can be a big investment, it will save you money, time, and resources in the long run.

How often should you sharpen or replace your paper cutter blade?

You should sharpen your paper cutter blades regularly, though the frequency depends on how often the machine is used. As a general rule of thumb, sharpening the blade every month or two will keep it sharp. For high-speed knives, you’ll want to replace the blade after 4,000 cuts.

How do you fix a broken Challenge cutter?

If you have found that your Challenge paper cutter isn’t functioning properly, you may need to sharpen the blade or clean the machinery. If this does not solve the problem, you should book a service call with one of our experienced technicians.
