The Kutrimmer 1134 guillotine paper cutter is the least expensive and most entry-level cutter MBM offers. So should this scare you away from getting one? Definitely not. This great little cutter has many benefits and is still a great cutter to have in a school or office. This is my review.

To begin with, the Kutrimmer 1134 features solid metal construction. The base is metal and the cutting arm is metal. The German engineering and build really shines through. It weighs in at 11 pounds, so it is hefty enough to last, but light enough to move around. If you remember the old 1035, the 1134 is the replacement.

The 1134 is designed to cut material up to 13 ¾” long. This means the Kutrimmer 1134 is great for cutting standard letter-size 8 ½” x 11″ paper. It can easily handle standard paper, laminated paper, card stock and other material. It can even be used to cut down photographs.

The cutting capacity is 25 sheets of standard copy paper. Simply adjust the side guide, insert the paper and pull down the arm. The process is very easy, and since the cutting arm is designed to provide maximum leverage, it requires very little effort to use.

The cuts are straight and very accurate. You’ll notices that the handle is ergonomically designed for comfort. One of my favorite features of the 1134, versus the old 1035, is the integrated cutting line indicator. This line lets you know exactly where the blade is going to cut the paper.

The blade on the 1134 is made out of Solingen steel. Solingen steel isn’t just known for being extra strong, but it can also be re-sharpened. Unlike many comparable cutters, that require dull blades to be replaced, the blade on the 1134 can be re-sharpened. This saves you money.

Unlike the guillotine paper cutters of 10+ years ago, the 1134 includes designs and Lexan safety guards to prevent bodily injury. While I still wouldn’t let a child use this cutter on there own, the safety features are excellent.

Overall I consider the Kutrimmer 1134 (by IDEAL) to be a great cutter. It isn’t going to be ideal for the high-volume jobs, but it will easily handle light to medium-volume use.

Whether you work in a print shop, a copy center or have a business that cuts pictures, card stock and other paper, you will probably benefit from using a guillotine paper cutter. One model you may want to consider is the MBM Kutrimmer 1080 guillotine paper cutter by IDEAL. This is my review.

The Kutrimmer model of guillotine paper trimmers is one of the most popular lines used by people today. Build quality is one of the reasons. These German-made, German-engineered cutters are made from metal, feature Solingen steel blades and would probably survive a nuclear blast. They are known for lasting for years.

The Kutrimmer 1080 is MBMs least-expensive floor model guillotine paper cutter. It includes the stand, which is pretty nice. The height of this cutter is ideal for most people and it is laid out in a way that just about everything on it is easily accessible. The exact dimensions are 42″ x 27 1/2″ x 48″.  It weighs in at 158 pounds shipped.

The long 31 ¼” cutting blade can cut most sizes of paper, card stock and photos. It can even cut most banners and signs. It can also be used to cut matteboard, plastic and metal foil. With a cutting capacity 20 sheets of standard copy paper, you should be able to easily handle most jobs.

The Kutrimmer 1080 isn’t just known for its durability, but also for its precision. The Solingen steel blade easily cuts paper. Thanks to a built-in clamping mechanism, cuts are straight and dead on every time. The foot-pedal is foot pedal activated for easy hands-free use.

Setting up the 1080 is pretty easy as well. Measurements and a grid of common-sized cuts makes lining things up easy. It also includes an adjustable guide and an adjustable back gauge. The back gauge makes cutting larger paper easy. No more needing to worry about paper flopping around while being cut.

I know I am probably sounding a little one-sided in this review, but it really is that good. If this paper cutter fits the specifications you need, it is a great investment and a great cutter to have on hand. If this cutter is larger and more than you need, Kutrimmer does make a wide variety of smaller desktop guillotine paper trimmers.

Do you cut large volumes of paper on a daily basis and need a fast and precise way to do this? If you aren’t using one already, you should consider using a programmable electric stack paper cutter. One model that you may want to consider is the MBM Triumph 4850 electric stack paper cutter. This is my review.

To begin with, MBM Triumph is considered by many to be one of the largest stack paper cutter manufacturers in the world. These stack cutters, by Ideal, are German made and engineered. The build quality is considered to be exceptional and the customer satisfaction with our own customers is extremely high.

Here are a few specifications on the Triumph 4850. To begin with, it has a cutting width of 18 7/8″ and is capable of cutting up to 3″ of paper in a single pass. This is a lot of paper, making the 4850 capable of cutting an entire ream of paper. This includes standard paper, card stock, chipboard and much more.

Setting this stack cutter up for use is extremely easy. An easy-to-use 10 keypad makes adjusting the backstop a piece of cake. The 4850 has a programmable memory capable of storing up to 99 different jobs. A digital readout lets you know exactly where the backstop is, for easy adjusting.

Measurements are in Inches or Centimeters and are accurate to 1/10 mm or 1/100 inch. From start to cut, it shouldn’t take you more than a minute to have everything ready to go.

One thing I really like about this cutter is the LED optical cutting line. This line will let you know exactly where the blade is going to come down. I find this nice when cutting printed material. While the backstop is precise, sometimes printing registration isn’t always dead on, making the cutting line invaluable.

The Triumph 4850 electric clamp and an electric cutting blade. The clamp can be brought down by itself prior to cutting or be brought down along with the cutting blade. This is all done by pressing a series of buttons. Once the blade has been started, it takes just seconds for the 4850 to cut through 3″ of paper.

I have already mentioned this earlier, but the build quality on this cutter is exceptional. It weighs in at 556 pounds shipped. All the cutting components are made from metal and it is designed to last for years. The Solingen steel blade is extremely tough, but can also be re-sharpened when it becomes dull. The 3/5 HP motor doesn’t flinch and cuts paper without any issues.

Safety shouldn’t be a concern. Anything that could possibly cause injury is covered and protected during the entire cutting process. Safety features include:

• Hinged, transparent electronically controlled front safety guard
• Transparent safety cover on rear table
• Main switch and safety lock with key
• Electronically controlled, true two-hand operation

I have to say that if you have medium to high-volume stack paper cutting needs, this is a great paper cutter to have. This cutter should be perfect for print shops, copy centers and more.

Do you run, operate or own a printing press? Are you looking for a machine that allows press sheets and digital printouts to be air-dried immediately? If so, you may be in need of an air jogger.

Normal paper joggers use vibrations to align paper. Air joggers not only use vibrations to align paper, but also use air to align and separate paper.  This has many benefits. Because air separates the sheets, it keeps them from clumping together and creating double feeds and jams. This is also extremely beneficial because the air helps the ink on press sheets and digital printouts to dry faster.

We currently offer two different models of air joggers:

1. MBM AJ-700 Air Jogger – The MBM AJ-700 air jogger forces air between sheets to reduce jogging time and eliminate powder buildup. Press sheets and digital copies can be air dried immediately to prevent offset. This significantly reduces misfeeds and double feeds in printers, folders, and collators.
2. Formax FD 402A1 Air Jogger – The FD 402A1 High-Capacity Air Jogger is ideal for print shops and production houses as it aligns and dries printed sheets as a single process, while removing static electricity.

These joggers are both considered to be commercial / industrial paper joggers. They can be used all day long and don’t require any special “cool down” period of time.

Are you looking for a reliable paper folding machine that won’t require a lot of time to set up and use? One machine that you may want to look at is the MBM 407A paper folding machine. This high-end paper folder is great for daily, frequent use. This is my review.

MBM is a leading manufacturer of high-end office equipment. This includes stack cutters, guillotine trimmers, paper folding machines and more. German in origin, MBM is known for making some of the best office equipment available today. The MBM 407A follows right in line with the rest of MBM’s equipment.

The 407A is an automatic paper folding machine. This means that the folding plates (total of 2) self-adjust, depending on the fold you are trying to create. Do you need to create a letter fold? Simply tell the machine and it will set itself up for a letter fold. It’s that easy. The entire process takes just seconds.

While I don’t personally mind manually setting up folding plates, many people find this annoying and time consuming. The MBM 407A comes pre-programmed with 6 common folds. This includes a letter fold, accordion fold, single fold, gate fold and more. An auxiliary paper guide allows for easy cross folding and French folding. It even has the ability to store up to 27 custom folds.

The MBM 407A can be used with paper of various sizes. The minimum paper size is 3 1/2″ x 5″ and the maximum size is 11″ x 17″. It has the ability to be used with standard copy paper and can also be used with paper as thin as 12# thick up to 80 #card stock.

The paper tray can hold up to 450 sheets of standard 20# paper. It includes a conveyor-style exit tray that is designed to keep paper aligned and in order. This is ideal for folding invoices, bills and other material that has to be in numerical or alphabetical order.

The 407A runs at a speed fast enough to keep up with most jobs. The motor itself runs at a speed of 11,520 sheets per hour. This folder can be used throughout the day and should be able to handle most medium to high-volume folding jobs.

In conclusion I have to say that if you are a fan of the MBM 307M (of which I am), you are going to love the 407A. MBM makes a solid folding machine and the 407A is no exception.

If you are a business, a copy center or an organization that folds paper on a daily basis, you should really be using a paper folding machine. If you don’t have one, or are in the process of looking, you should take a close look at the MBM 207M paper folding machine. We have one of these on our showroom floor and I have been able to use it on several occasions. This is my review.

MBM, as a manufacturer, is synonymous with high quality. Their product line, ranging from paper shredders to paper cutters, are extremely reliable. Their folding machines follow with this tradition.

The 207M is MBM’s mid to high-volume folding machine. It is the successor to the extremely popular 206M. It is hard to believe that this folding machine is a manual setup. I can set up a fold on this machine faster than most can do on an automatic folding machine.

The folding plates (total of 2) have to be manually set. Unlike many comparable folding machines, this takes just seconds. Each folding plate has sliding adjustment. Simply pinch the adjustment bracket and slide the plate to the fold you want. It’s that simple. Fold types are clearly labeled on the folding plates.

While this is a manual setup folding machine, the 207M incorporates several computerized functions. Such functions include a clear LED counter (4 digit) and the capability to do batch folding. It is both UL and C UL approved.

The 207M features all-metal construction. You can tell that this machine is heavy duty when you try to move it. Weighing in at 72 pounds shipped, this machine is solid. It can still be used on most desks and tables.

Able to handle paper from 12# to 80# thick, the 207M can be used to create common folds such as a letter fold (C Fold), an accordion fold (Z Fold) and a single fold. It can also be used to create cross folds, including the French fold. The folding plates can be set up to create custom folds as well.

The exit tray uses a conveyor to keep paper properly lined up. This is a huge plus if you are folding invoices, bills and other material that needs to be kept in numerical or alphabetical order.

Overall, I have to say that the MBM 207M paper folding machine ranks up in my top 5 favorite paper folding machines. It really is that good.

There is a lot of confusion out there when it comes to brand names and which one is associated with another. MBM is an common example of this. We recently had a customer ask us what the difference was between the Ideal 2602 shredder and the Destroyit 2602 shredder. I went on to tell her that they are the same shredder by the same company, with MBM being the manufacturer.

MBM is one of the leading manufacturers of office automation equipment in the world today. MBM manufactures paper folders, collators, business card cutters, paper drills and much more. You can find our entire selection of MBM products here.

This is a list of the brands that MBM (IDEAL) manufactures:
