Can it Cut 250 Sheet at least some what square?

If you clamp every thing down really tight it should be "somewhat" square. Use all of the bars and stops to hold everything in place. I cut large mags like Southern Living and Lapidary Journal that have 200 sheets and just use the main clamp. That works fine, if you use the second clamp it should be very close.

Honestly it never has for me. Partly due to a tightening arm that lets the paper slip, because of the overly simplistic design and partly because the measurements are not true or square. I just use mine to cut books, and have noticed the slippage issue, which I did not have with the old giant guillotine at work.

Yes it can cut 250 sheets at one time, though doing so would probably be very difficult. But I wouldn't try that many at once, because it's so difficult, and the more sheets you cut at once the more they shift as you cut. I suggest cutting in blocks of 50-80 sheets at a time with this stackcutter.

Yes. It can be tricky to keep the stack vertical and keep it from shifting, but I've done it probably hundreds of times. On a good day I can chop a stack like that with an accuracy of plus or minus 1/8". That's good enough for my purposes.Whether you can bring the blade down on a thick stack like that depends on the paper. Chopping the 11" side of a stack of 8.5x11 sheets could be difficult. Different kinds of paper make a big difference in the difficulty of lowering the blade, but I can't put my finger on why. I think it may be moisture content, or how well it's pressed in manufacture.

I don't know. I use it mainly for cutting dense cardboard similar to a strong cereal box and around 8-10 sheets of regular 22# paper. I get square cuts by using the clamp that is operated by the crank handle that clamps the paper parallel to the cutter knife. I'm not using it in a professional manner.........just home stuff. If the guides are adjusted correctly, the measurements are close enough, easily within 1/16". This is not a machine tool for cutting to tolerances on the order of 1/1000". Be aware that this cutter is very heavy and needs a sturdy table or bench.

Yes it sure can, there is a mechanism that screws down across the stack of paper where it's going to be cut and that secures the whole stack so it doesn't move. The blade movement itself also helps cut a whole stack square because of how it comes down onto the stack of paper to cut it.

I doubt that would work. It struggles to do much more than one sheet of paper.

Yes, probably need to do it one sheet at a time. This cutter is great, but I would also wonder how quickly it will dull your blades.

It might be able to. The "grid" you see on the product image is basically 1" increments to guide you in cutting down to the desired size. So, it SHOULD work. but I have never tried it. I'll give an 85-90% probably yes. Hope that helps.

that should be more than the amount you will need. you will want to cut that for inside use.

I would stay away from this paper cutter. I don't even use mine anymore..I couldn't aline the paper exactly where I wanted to make my cut. The cutter itself is out of square. So i had to manually align my paper under the blade which i dont mind but u have to look at cutter on the side to align the paper instead of being able to align it looking striaght down at the cutter my cuts were never striaght

Depends on the type of material. It may, for example, cut 1" thick aluminum but definitely not 1" thick steel (mild or hard).

It barely cuts round. Doubt it will cut square&#128513; you are better off using wet saw for tile.

It will cut it easily. I've cut thicker material but if you plan on cutting a lot of heavy material you may consider a bigger machine.

yes it will cut a 12 inch piece of paper without any problems. It will not cut anything longer as the cutting blades are no longer than 12 inches. I did not try to cut anything heavier than two pieces of 20 weight georgia pacific copy paper. So I cannot vouch for this cutter on multiple sheets (more than 6). Mother uses it and she said it will cut single sheets of very thin plastics, vinyls, and construction paper just fine. Hope this helps..

I haven't tried cutting large multiples of paper with mine yet, but on a single sheet basis it has worked just fine both on thicker brochure type paper, glossy photo paper and regular copy paper.

It will cut just 1 or 2 sheets. Just make sure you hold the paper secure against the back stop. I do sometimes, but most of the time I use the clamp and make sure the paper does not move. Remember, it takes two hands to make the cut and unless you have someone else there to secure the paper sheet, you take a chance.

No I don't think so. I have not tried it of course but I'm confident it's not sharp enough for that kind of cutting. Thick paper is fine.

Absolutely! I just cut acetate sheets yesterday and those tend to be be thicker and stiffer. The directions say that you can cut upwards of 30 pieces of paper at one, although I would never do that because totally clean cuts. It's a sharp cutter.

Yes - it can cut through poster board - one sheet at a time. I used it on very heavy recycled paper to make round wedding fans. It did very well on that!

You certainly could use this to cut out a small section of plywood, but if you are talking about slicing off big pieces then you are better off using a circular saw or something else bigger.
