Martin Yale 700E 12 Inch Commercial Stack Paper Cutter Review

The Martin Yale 700E is a heavy duty, table-top commercial quality paper cutter that can cut up to 1-1/2″ of paper at a time.The 700E commercial stack cutter is ideal for photo shops, schools, churches, small print shops and professional organizations.

Overview:

  • The Martin Yale 700E is a heavy duty, table-top commercial quality paper cutter that can cut up to 1-1/2″ of paper at a time.
  • This
    heavy duty paper cutter is ideal for small print shops and
    organizations that need to cut small to medium volumes of paper quickly
    and accurately.
  • The 700E commercial stack cutter is ideal for photo shops, schools, churches, small print shops and professional organizations.

Strengths / Features:

  • Although
    it is not a true ream cutter, the Martin Yale 700E cutter is capable of
    easily cutting up to 375 sheets of 20lb paper at a time. This makes
    this an ideal cutter for churches and businesses that need to cut large
    stacks of paper for the production of flyers, brochures and sales
    materials.
  • The Martin Yale 700E has a manually operated paper
    clamp that is designed to hold documents in place during cutting. It
    also has an easy to adjust paper stop to help in aligning the paper on
    the cutter for precise cutting. These features are extremely helpful in
    ensuring that documents are cut straight and true.
  • The Martin
    Yale 700E is an extremely sharp cutter and thus can be very dangerous
    if not used properly. With this in mind, Martin Yale included a blade
    latch that is designed to prevent cutting until the latch is released.
    This feature requires two hands for cutting which helps to prevent
    fingers from getting caught under the razor sharp blade.
  • The
    700E has a long cutting handle and a heavy wooden base. These features
    help to provide leverage in cutting large stacks of paper. When
    combined with the extremely sharp blade used by this cutter, you can
    slice through large stacks of paper like they are butter.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

  • The
    Martin Yale 700E paper cutter is equipped with a twelve inch long
    cutting blade. This is ideal for cutting or trimming letter sized
    documents. However, the 700E cannot trim larger documents where a cut
    length longer than 12″ is required.
  • Although the Martin Yale
    700E uses a blade latch to help ensure safety, it is still a dangerous
    piece of equipment. Once the latch has been disengaged it is possible
    to remove your hand from the latch to complete the cutting process.
    This presents a potential safety issue if you are not careful. It is
    important to never take security for granted when using a large paper
    cutter such as this. Some organizations even place a lock on their
    cutters when they are not in use to prevent children from accidentally
    injuring themselves.
  • The clamping mechanism on the 700E paper
    cutter is actually quite effective in holding pages in place during the
    cutting process. The clamp should be snug, but not excessively tight on
    the sheets. A snug clamp, along with a sharp blade will give you a
    smooth, accurate cut.
  • Like any cutter, the 7000E functions
    best with a sharpened blade. Some users will find a tiny bit of
    movement in the stack while cutting and will try to tighten the clamp
    more, when the real culprit is a dull blade. It’s a good idea to have
    an extra blade and always keep a sharp one on hand. The blade changing
    process is a bit laborious and will take about 45 minutes.
  • The
    Martin Yale 700E is an excellent high volume stack cutter. However, it
    is not ideal for cutting one or two sheets of paper at a time. For
    small volume trimming jobs it is best to use a guillotine style paper
    cutter or a rotary trimmer.

Recommendation:

  • The
    Martin Yale 700e stack paper cutter is ideal for churches, offices and
    organizations that need to cut large volumes of paper at a time.
  • It
    offers a twelve inch cutting length, an excellent paper clamping system
    and a paper stop to help align the pages on the cutter.
  • As
    with all high capacity paper cutters , caution should be used when
    operating the Martin Yale 700e. It has an extremely sharp blade that
    could easily cause severe injuries if the safety mechanisms are
    disabled or the cutter is operated without care.
