Paper Cutters — Honing a Competitive Edge

Since cutting system components typically are modular, shops do have the option of adding pieces as they need them, points out Colter & Peterson's Marr. "The sequence we usually see is a lifting device, followed by a jogger and then an unloader."

Colter & Peterson offers two different lines of cutters, both of which feature U.S.-made computer control systems, Marr says, so the commands are clear and built around how American operators are used to working. The cutters also feature oversized tables that are chrome finished and air cushioned.
