  19 1/2" CMC Paper Cutter
in Pennsylvania
$475
The name on it is CMC - Craftsmen Machinery Company of Boston.
CMC was known for cloning popular small presses. This may be a clone, or it may have actually been made by Challenge.
It looks like the common 19 3/8" Challenge Cutter - like our own.

Guillotine Paper Cutter

The name onit is "CMC", but it looks just like the more common Challenge 19 3/8" cutter. It has a (red) safety that must be released before the blade will come down to paper - or anything else that may be below it.

(watch your fingers! The weight of the blade itself will cut through fingers or a hand.)

Cutter stand, nylon cutting sticks and one blade are included - as shown.


This cutter is currently available for pickup in PA for $475.
It comes with one blade. We intend to keep the second blade for our own 19 3/8" cutter - if it does, indeed fit our own 19 3/8" Challenge.
