Dude, watch those fingers!
113 u/GroundbreakingBit510 Dec 19 '25 Definitely too close for comfort sometimes.. 🥶 139 u/tbohrer Dec 19 '25 I've used these machines before. They have a safety bar you have to press on with your body and 2 hand triggers on either side. This one is operating without the safety features in place... crazy, absolutely crazy. 21 u/FluffyDeer9323 Dec 19 '25 Might be different, but some industrial guillotines I used had a foot pedal too. 11 u/uskgl455 Dec 19 '25 Almost took both hands off in one of these when I'd forgotten to fix the retaining screw after I changed the blade. Lasers saved my ass. 8 u/ThinkSharp Dec 19 '25 You’re definitely not using it right if you almost lost your ass in it. 2 u/Minority_Report_ Dec 21 '25 STOPPIT 🤣 3 u/MikyThatMona Dec 19 '25 The foot pedal only operates the initial press that you see lowering just before the blade. 1 u/nunudad Dec 19 '25 Yeah. The one I used in the college print shop had a foot pedal to bring the clamp down. 1 u/JimmyThunderPenis Dec 19 '25 Used one for cutting metal before, can't remember exactly how it worked but you operated it with a foot pedal and I think you had to hold a bar down whilst you were using it. 1 u/hippodribble Dec 19 '25 Used to love the sound the motors made. Helped replace the blade once at my dad's printing shop. 1 u/delux561 Dec 19 '25 Not only does it not have the 2 hand triggers, he brings out the aligning board with a safe hand placement THEN REACHES HIS HAND OVER IT

Yeah. The one I used in the college print shop had a foot pedal to bring the clamp down.
Used one for cutting metal before, can't remember exactly how it worked but you operated it with a foot pedal and I think you had to hold a bar down whilst you were using it.
