Purchased this guillotine a while back to produce ally items up to A4. Good value for money but the front guide and rear production stops are hopeless. The guillotine is bolted to my workbench so I constructed a feed table with adjustable squaring arm that also bolts to the table. As I no longer have any workshop facilities I ordered the frame and aluminium cut to size. Only had to drill 6 holes plus 4 in the bench.
The steel ruler is set to the required cut depth (table to blade - required depth) and held in place using magnets on top and bottom. Ruler depth stop available from Axminster, I use two to set height & width for repeat items. Just used in anger to produce domed fridge magnets.
