Selecting a high-quality, heavy-duty paper cutter isn't too difficult – especially if you know what to look for. One device that's definitely worth a look is the Challenge Spartan 150M which offers a good cutting capacity, easy operation, and more. Here's a look at what it can do so you can decide if it's right for your workplace.

• The 150M has a decent cutting width. This device can cut paper that's up to 15.75” wide, so it's perfect for letter- and legal-sized sheets. There's also ample room on the cutting table because there's 6.25” of space in front of the blade.

• This machine can cut up to 1.5” of paper at a time. That's well over 200 sheets so you'll be able to trim large amounts of paper very quickly.
• The 150M is a totally manual cutter but it's still pretty easy to use. First of all, you turn a hand-crank to apply pressure to the stack of sheets. More pressure results in a cleaner cut. All you need to do to actually cut your paper is lower a lever and the blade will slice right through your sheets. It doesn't get much easier than that.
• One particularly handy feature is this device's LED backgauge position indicator. This indicator is easy to operate and it's very accurate so you can easily tell when the backgauge is.
• Something that makes this device really user-friendly is its illuminated cutting line. The cutting line shows you where your sheets will be cut so you can re-align them if necessary.
• This machine has safety shields on both the front and rear tables. These features will help you stay safe when cutting.
• The 150M is a tabletop device but you're going to find that it takes up a fair amount of room. It measures 12.5” (height) x 28.125” (width) x 2.25” (length). You'll probably want to have a totally separate space for it so it won't take over your entire work surface. Also, be sure to exercise caution when moving his device because it weighs 80 pounds.
• This is a very durable trimmer so you'll be able to get a lot of use out of it. Due to its all-metal construction, you should be able to use this device for years to come.
• Finally, the 150M is covered by a one-year warranty.
