A Review of the Fellowes Plasma 180 Guillotine Paper Cutter

Fellowes makes some terrific products that are great for use in today’s busy workplaces. One of them is the Plasma 180 Guillotine Paper Cutter. If you need a cutter, you should check out this product’s strengths and weaknesses. Here they are….

Strengths:

• The primary reason to purchase a guillotine paper cutter is so that you’ll be able to cut a large number of sheets at one time. That’s definitely the case with the Plasma 180. It has a 40-sheet cutting capacity so you can cut as much paper as possible very quickly.
• This cutter can be used with different sizes of paper. It has a 18-inch cutting length so you’ll be able to slice through letter- and legal-sized paper with ease. You’ll even be able to work with tabloid-sized documents that are 11″ x 17″.
• The Plasma 180 has a very durable blade that’s been made out of stainless steel. The blade is strong enough to withstand heavy use so you can cut everyday without any problems.
• As far as safety features go, this cutter is equipped with Fellowes’ SafeCut Guard. This is a metal shield that keeps your fingers far away from the blade so you don’t end up cutting yourself. The SafeCut Guard can fold down when you’re not using the trimmer so you’ll be able to store it more easily.
• The Plasma 180 has a base that’s made out of metal, making it extremely durable. There are cutting guides printed on it, as well as a protractor so you can make angled cuts. Also, the base has rubber feet on the bottom of it so the cutter will stay in place when you’re using it.
• Your materials will remain in one place and won’t fan because this device has an automatic paper clamp. This feature ensures that your documents will be cut just the way you want and you won’t end up trimming too much or too little off.
• The Plasma 180 is one of the more affordable guillotine cutters on the market. It retails for less than $350.00 so you can have a high-quality trimmer without parting with a lot of cash.
• Finally, this device’s blade is backed by a 10-year warranty. Every other part of this device is under a 2-year warranty.

Weaknesses:

• Due to its cutting length, this device is pretty big. With approximate dimensions of 5″ (height) x 14″ (weight) x 30″ (depth), you might have some trouble finding room for it.
• Also, since the cutting length is 18″, you can’t use this device with really large sheets of paper.

The Fellowes Plasma 180 is a first-rate guillotine cutter, especially for such a low price. While it’s designed for use with paper that’s 18″ long or less, this device would be a great choice if you need a new cutter. It’s made out of high-quality materials and it’s very safe to use. So if you’re in the market for this kind of product, be sure to check out the Plasma 180 today.

Plasma Cutter – Are You Ready For One? – I’ll Help You Decide

The Plasma Cutter is a GREAT tool to allow you to perform fast & precise cuts in all metals used in welding. Since the 1990’s, it has become affordable to many home users. But the Plasma Cutter is still pretty spendy for most of us. Here’s the “deal”:

1) Plasma Cutters cut virtually anything put in it’s path.
2) They produce CLEAN & PRECISE cuts
3) They can be about 10 times faster than Oxy-Acet. to cut ferrous metals.
4) They also cut STAINLESS!

But be CAREFUL!
1) You’re dealing with VERY high temperatures!
2) The voltages at the working area are higher.
3) For heavier duty units the noise level is enough to need ear-plugs.
4) Wear ALL appropriate safety gear: gloves, goggles, etc.

The “What’s it” part:
The Plasma “state of matter” happens when a gas is super-heated via an arc. When driven through the arc under pressure, it becomes “plasma”, & cuts metals like butter. Different gases may be used (including air), depending on what you’re cutting.

“The bottom line”:
1) If you HAVE the money & you will be doing LOT’S of cutting….
2) AND you NEED very clean and precise cuts…Then GET ONE!
3) BUT remember that MOST beginning & some advanced welders can’t justify the expense, NOR do they NEED one. (at least in the beginning).

Below are some comments about some of the Cutters that are available:
It’s your call, to buy or not to buy:
* As a beginner, it could probably wait.
* If you have the money & KNOW that you would eventually get one, then GET ONE NOW.
* In my recent search, the cheapest used one I saw on Craigslist was $700 ($1400 new)(Hypertherm Powermax 600).
* From a new Miller model 375 = $1400, to a Miller model 1251 = $4800 (Cuts to 1 1/4″).(via weldersource.com).
* Plus a new “Giant Tech 50D” at $465 on sale.(at plasmametalcutter.com).

Shop around, ask your buddies, then get one for YOUR needs and budget!
HAPPY CUTTING!

CNC Plasma Cutters – Buying Wisely in Today’s Marketplace

Businesses are always looking to stretch every dollar and get the most from their employees. Today’s economy has employers looking for every nickel. When it comes time to make the investment in a new cnc plasma cutter, quality, durability, versatility and cost are all items that must be carefully considered. We all have choices and are looking for the best we can buy for our money.

Making a capital purchase used to be easy. Know what you are looking for, know what your purchase options are, and have an idea of what you want to spend. Today, we need to make wise decisions and know how it will effect our business plans today and for years to come.

When it comes to buying a quality plasma cutting machine, there are some important questions you need to ask:

Is it durable or heavy-duty to handle rigorous plasma cutting today and for years to come? Answer: A heavy-duty, unitized, fully-welded design is critical and provides the most stable platform for accurate plasma cutting. Being able to handle heavy plate loads (2? and more) and withstand rigorous daily usage is vital. Will you be forced to replace a low-cost plasma cutting machine before you expected to?

How important is accuracy from part to part and plate to plate? Answer: It is critical. The mounting surfaces for guides and racks should be machined in a single set-up to assure the best and highest accuracy or your parts. If your cuts are not accurate, can you afford the time, material and money to do them again?

Will it be flexible enough to handle today’s plasma cutting needs and adapt to your future needs? Answer: It is a must. A flexible design will allow for the addition of table extension and additional torches, allowing the equipment to adapt and grow with your business. Can you afford to own a one trick pony?

Is it fast enough to be productive and profitable? Answer: Digitally controlled high power AC brushless servo motors, helical rack and pinion drives, and top quality linear guides assure speed and precision. Being able to provide substantial increases in productivity due to faster response, shorter pre-flow times and tighter integration with the nesting software, is critical. Is your plasma cutting machine capable of being accurate as well as fast?

Will the manufacturer be there when I have questions or need assistance? Answer: It depends on the company. Be sure you purchase from a company that is fully committed to supporting your plasma cutting operations and has the resources to back it up. The design, construction and service of your CNC plasma cutting equipment has a direct impact on your profitability. Will you have access to on-going support for as long as you own the machine?

Businesses are all trying to save money, cut back, and reduce expenses. Sometimes, however, there is a tendency to focus on the wrong things. While you’re reducing operating and overhead costs, you can’t neglect the larger picture. Even in slow economic times, it can be a mistake to be penny wise and pound foolish.

Buying quality today is never a mistake for your tomorrows.

    And passenger cars move this year, while local brands to grow exponentially, compared to the target, is also a local brand of commercial enterprises must pragmatic lot this year, is expected to increase the majority in the two into the following. Just as among the world’s largest (by volume) of commercial enterprises Foton Motor Company’s goal is 2010 700 000, an increase of less than 17%, and 47% increase in 2009, in sharp contrast.

    Fukuda and Deputy Party Secretary Zhao Jingguang spokesman told reporters that the commercial vehicle market this year will not be too bad, but still maintain a low-key attitude Fukuda.

    In addition, the reporter was informed that the target growth rate this year, Dongfeng commercial vehicles and even single digits, while SAIC’s goal of Nanjing Iveco not increase to 15%; China’s heavy truck and commercial vehicle while JAC is to “strive to” 20% increase, but the plan does not increase the lower target to two percent planned to increase the highest Jiangling Motors, but its 150,000 sales target volume also includes some passenger cars.
