The Martin Yale Stakcut Paper Trimmer PRE724 is a heavy-duty paper trimmer designed to accurately cut paper, matte board, cardboard, film, tissue, and textiles. It features through-hardened steel blades that can precision-angle cut up to 30 sheets at once. The heavy, 3/4" wood base includes a permanent 1/2" alignment grid and dual Imperial/metric rulers for precise cuts. Safety is prioritized with a patented automatic blade latch that locks during cutting, a finger guard to protect the blade, and a torsion spring to prevent accidental blade falls. The hand-operated clamp holds items securely for accurate cutting, while the ergonomic soft-grip hand grip ensures comfort during use.
