## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this guillotine have a self sharpening blade?**
A: I don't think it stated it was self-sharpening on the packaging, however, it makes the same noise when it is being used as it would if it was being sharpened.  I haven't had mine long but I have used it a lot, and the blade is still as sharp as when I bought it.  I've had numerous guillotines in the past, but this is definitely my favourite by a mile.

**Q: Does this have measurements along the blade lengthways? I can only see measurements along the width.**
A: There is not a measuring rule along the blade edge, but the whole of the base is a squared grid with marks for all the different paper sizes. I find it a very useful piece of equipment. I hope this is helpful.

**Q: Can I use this item to cut A4 card along the short 81/4 side? Thanks.**
A: yes it will cut the short side  of A4 paper  22cm.  But    it will not cut long side of A4 paper

**Q: Is this Tim Holtz guillotine grey and black as in  picture or grey and red as described. Thank you.**
A: I assume it is because I have two of TH guillotine cutters the 6,5 inch is in red and gray while the 12 inch is in gray with the black handle. I hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent cutter device.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic little guillotine
*by L***A on 16 May 2024*

This guillotine is excellent. It's sharp and sturdy but also surprisingly lightweight making it super portable. It did take me a bit of getting used to with how firmly to press down the guard so my card didn't slip but now I have the hang of it I'm away! The accuracy of the measurements is spot on and the cut is so clean. I purchased this product while it was on offer so the price point was just in my price range. I highly recommend this guillotine and I'm looking into purchasing the larger one in the future.
