Cut True 29A / 29H Guillotine Cutter Demo
Product Details
The Formax Cut True 29A and 29H are programmable electric guillotine paper cutters used in print finishing, short-run production, and in-house finishing operations. This video shows both models in operation — programming, clamping, and cutting stacked paper at production speed.
What this video shows: The Cut True 29A/29H clamping a paper stack, the blade descending and cutting through the stack in a single stroke, and programmable backgauge movement for the next cut. Programming the cut sequence so the operator runs through a job without manual setup between cuts.
Who buys the Cut True 29 series: Print shops cutting stacked sheets to finished trim size after digital or offset print. In-house print operations finishing booklets, brochures, and short-run print jobs. Bindery operations doing perfect-binding trim and tabbed-page finishing. Specialty print operations producing custom-format pieces from larger sheets.
Why the 29A versus 29H: The 29A is the standard configuration; the 29H adds features for higher-volume or specialty cutting (the H typically denotes a hydraulic or heavier-duty variant in this line — confirm exact spec with a specialist). Pick the 29A for most print-shop finishing, the 29H when sustained-duty or heavier-stack cutting matters.
Key specs: Programmable electric guillotine cutter | Cut width: 29-inch class | Programmable backgauge for multi-cut job sequencing | Stack capacity: print-shop production range | Safety: two-hand activation and blade guarding

Frequently asked
What's the difference between the 29A and 29H?
Both are 29-inch class guillotine cutters in the Cut True line. The H variant typically steps up duty cycle and may include hydraulic clamping for heavier stack cutting. Confirm exact 29A vs 29H spec with a Mailtech specialist.
How does a programmable backgauge compare to manual?
Manual backgauge requires the operator to re-measure and reposition between cuts — slow and error-prone for multi-cut jobs. Programmable backgauge moves to pre-programmed positions automatically, dramatically speeding multi-cut jobs and eliminating measurement error.
Is the Cut True 29 right for production-scale cutting?
It's a print-shop and small-production tier cutter. For very high volume continuous-duty cutting, dedicated production guillotines exist in larger sizes. The 29 series fits most print-shop and finishing operations.
