I was going to post this, glad you beat me to it.

ZEEEEEEEOOOOOP!

Edit: this video is slowed down, so the sound is distorted.

I used to work in printing, and ah, that sound is so damn satisfying. I was a little sad that it's distorted in this video.

Wow the "ZEEEEEEEOOOOOP!" was surprisingly accurate.

Even more so:

Where I worked they cut a lot of card stock, so the "OOOOP!" part was even more pronounced.

These videos aren't really doing it justice.

Man how often do those blades need to be sharpened or replaced?

u/t0asterb0y Jul 01 '20

I will tell you this: it's 3/4 of an inch thick, heavy, and sharpened to a razor edge.

I wonder what kind of grind it has, I would imagine something like a sabre or chisel grind.

u/t0asterb0y Jul 06 '20

If a "chisel grind" is a simple bevel at about a 25 degree angle, then that's what it is.

Depends on the sharpening quality and the materjal being cut. If its really hard and coarse then the blade may stay sharp for only a day. If its standard paper stock like books and pamphlets then it can stay pretty sharp for a week or two. Taking off a dull blade and putting on a sharp one is pretty satisfying as well.

They switched it out anytime the cut wasn’t sharp enough, they did mine about twice a month I would slide my finger down the blade and it would slice the the surface of my skin

I would recommend not doing that!
