1940's photo/paper cutter restoration

[@Multiplemom3452]

I have a cutter that is very similar the lady that gave it to me said that her grand father owned it then her father than her when they closed a store here in Canada I believe about 3 years ago now she gave me it. I want to restore it but was afraid to take it apart. Thanks for this video it may just help.

You have a bit of history with your cutter. When you restore it, you will have your story to go along with it. Maybe even show the person you got it from after you restore it.

3:07 AM You sent I have an old large paper cutter...guillotine...that is out of alignment. The top of the trimmed paper is 2 mm less than the bottom of the sheet. I believe it may have been a school's tool in it's former life and that degree of misalignment was inconsequential. I need a perfect cut for bookbinding. Any suggestions?...(wonderful video)

I restore things also, when you place an object in a vise, there is a tendency especially if it’s metal, That’s a vise Will leave a mark on the object. What I do is use an old leather belt, I cut that up and wrap the object protecting it. Just an idea, it would be a shame to have something so old and gouge the object from the vise.

Good idea.
