HFS(R) A3裁断機

【1】

本体がかなり頑丈で、よく切れます。全紙を半切に切断するのに使用しています。画仙紙は折り畳まれているため、ずれやすく少しコツがいります。枚数を少なめの10枚程度、押さえはしっかりすることで、きれいに切れました。半端なサイズも半紙に裁断したりと、便利です。置く場所さえ確保できれば、とてもオススメの商品です！

町内会の会議資料や町内への配布物など大量の印刷物が必要な時、同じものをA3の左右にコピーし、真ん中で切ってA42枚にすることで経費削減を図っています。刃の近くには指が置けないので、安全面最高です。

使用を重ねているうちに、紙抑えの水平が保たれずに奥側が浮くようになって来ました。カバーを外して点検したところ、紙抑えハンドルを締めるに従って鋼板が手前側に動き当該鋼板に穿たれた溝に沿って紙抑え器具が下降する機構になっていました。溝を滑る円形部品と紙抑え部品とを結合するボルトの緊結が弱くて緊結位置があるべき箇所からずれていることが判明しました。紙抑えを最下点に下ろし一旦ボルトを緩めて紙抑えを水平に復旧させ、その後ボルトを強く締め直して修繕できました。写真に当該ボルトを示します。2本を用いて緊結してありました。再度同様の不具合が生じたならば、ワッシャーが小さめに見えるので大きなものに交換する心積りです。また、ステープルを用いて綴じた本の背部を迂闊に切断したところ、歯欠けが生じました。切断前の点検が重要です。

安全性は普通に使えば余計な物を切ったりしないで裁断できるのでかなり良いですレビューを見てると皆さん方口を揃えて重いと言っている通り結構ちゃんと思いです。ただ、こんなに切れるの？？ってくらいさっくりきれるのでかなりオススメです

断裁する際に握るハンドルが欠品した状態で届いた。問い合わせしようとしてもAmazon側から送信できませんでしたと通知。商品送ったらそれで終わり、問い合わせに関しては届かないようにしているのか何故かできない。発送元が中国なだけあってある意味納得しましたね。星一も付けたくないくらいです。

一度にこれだけ断裁できるものが10万円以下であるとは驚きです。仕事がすごくはかどるようになりました。

性能的には良いのだと思いますが、切り刃が斜めについているので、不良品かと思いました。説明書を見たら自分で調整してくださいとの記載が。しかし、説明書の画像が明瞭でなくどこのネジを調整したらいいか大変分かりにくく、大変な思いで調整しました。納品の際は、まっすぐに刃を取り付けてください。購入者側で調整が必要なのであれば、分かりやすくクリアな説明書を付けるべきです。仕事の効率化を考えて購入しましたが、余計に無駄な時間を取られてしまいストレスが溜まりました。

保管状況が悪かったのか、新品とは思えない程汚れていました。問題なく使用できています

Estoy maravillada!!! Es una guillotina increíble, corta excelente de un solo tajo, el tamaño está ideal, los seguros bien diseñados, la manija para prensar el papel, pedí cuchilla de repuesto de manera aparte y todo llego antes de tiempo, la calidad es excelente.

Hola.Todo muy bien con la guillotina, solo hay un ligero inconveniente. Creo que no está calibrada o algo anda mal con la dirección de la cuchilla, ya que como pueden ver, los cortes toman una dirección en diagonal hacia dentro. (el lado derecho del cartón gris de la imagen). Hay manera de calibrarlo? No encuentro ni tutoriales para ello. O será defecto de fábrica? 🤔

The HFS 17" A3 Heavy Duty Guillotine from Hardware Factory Store is built like a battleship - and it weighs nearly as much: This cutter is constructed of solid and thick heavy steel where it counts - and a bit of plastic where it's appropriate. There's been no compromise with construction of this cutter. Be prepared to have some help when lifting this monster cutter around so that you don't get a hernia or pull a muscle in your back - it's that heavy !The unit I received came completely assembled and basically was ready to go. The long lever you grip to bring down the blade does not permanently attach to the unit; To use the unit you just insert the long lever into the base and you can begin to use the unit immediately. When not in use you can remove the lever and store the entire unit if desired.Because this unit is so heavy, it does require a solid and sturdy table to mount it on. Don't place it on a rickety table because it is heavy and your table just might collapse when bringing down the blade because you will be applying downward force in addition to the weight of the cutter. This is probably a bit over emphasis but just be sure you use a solid and sturdy table.The blade can be adjusted (and/or removed for replacement) though I did not adjust the blade on my unit. There is a plastic guard that protects casual access to the exposed blade as well.Be especially careful of not running your fingers across the cutter's blade - it is extremely sharp.There's also a tool that that comes with the cutter which is used to hold the sharp blade when replacing or adjusting it so that you don't cut your fingers, also included is an extra set of screws that are used to secure the blade to the unit should you ever need them.I was told by Hardware Factory Store that they have replacement parts and blades for this unit.I tested the unit by cutting the spines off of a number of thick magazines varying from 50 to over 100 or more pages.In general, It takes a bit of trying out to get a feel for properly cutting a stack but it's very easy once you get the hang of it. Also be sure that you do not stop mid-way in your cut as this can cause an irregularity with the final cut. Your downward action on the lever should be consistent, firm, and with one steady - but not fast - stroke being sure to put sufficient pressure when you bottom the lever so that there are no pages still attached at the very bottom of the pile. If you find you've got a couple of pages still attached and you're sure you're applying good pressure at the bottom of your stroke you may need to adjust your blade, in which case refer to the videos below I found that walks you through the process.My only criticism at this point is with packing of the unit for shipment:My unit came shipped in a large 2-piece Styrofoam protective housing inside a cardboard box; the bottom Styrofoam piece is about 1.5 inches in height which the unit rests on and slightly larger than the full width and length of the unit, the top Styrofoam piece which is about 10 inches high rests on top of the base Styrofoam piece and covers the entire unit. The entire 2-piece Styrofoam housing came in a corrugated cardboard box.Considering the weight and size of this cutter my personal opinion is that the shipping container should be of a much heavier weight. And although the unit is solidly built, still it can be damaged if hit by something equally heavy or heavier than the cutter, or dropped as a result of it's weight.You will not want to receive this cutter damaged and have to return it because it was poorly packaged so my personal opinion is that this cutter should be shipped in a wooden pallet because of its heft, size and weight to better protect it during shipping. While shipping in a small wooden pallet will add additional cost for shipping, it's worth it considering it will better protect the unit you get and should you have to return it you'll have a sturdy container.Lastly, the unit I received had absolutely no instructions or information about parts replacement. The only printed matter was a card with a picture of the unit - not very useful. I contacted Hardware Factory Store and asked about instructions on adjusting the blade, etc. and was told there is a Youtube video that goes through the proceedure. I was able to find the following videos for the HFS cutter:(Note: The cutter in the videos might not look exactly like the one you receive but they gives you a very good idea of what's involved. If you have any doubts after watching the videos, contact the Hardware Factory Shop for assistance.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EkWKfaIi-ghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9DxIkkWxW0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxyhKKO1uEUConsidering that a similar cutter can cost multiple the price of this cutter, it does a good job at a reasonable price.Overall, operation of the cutter is straightforward once you understand how to use it.

メディアを読み込めませんでした。I called hardware factory supply in California on August 15th to ask about getting their 17 inch guietine cutter warrantied. The platen or the piece that you crank down to hold the paper tight has bent as it will not hold paper tight or flat. This is a solid piece of metal bolted together it should not warp or bend, but it has done both and in doing so stripped the bolts from being able to hold securely. Upon calling multiple different extensions as no one would answer, I was finally greeted by a women named Vicky who once I explained my issue to she asked me if she could have a different sales person call me back. Strange, possibly deflection but I agreed as possibly she may not have known the answer. So I called back to a different extension and she (Vicky) answered again. I asked ok so who could I speak with then. She exclaimed “geez you didn’t even give me a minute,” and put me on hold. Horrible customer service example one. She came back on and gave me an email to a women named Shirley and asked me to send her my order number, date purchased, and the item number. I went a few steps above and provided a picture of the issue as well as my invoice. No response from this Shirley person instead someone named Zora Hong from China intercepted the email and began the whole thing all over. First asking for everything I already provided. In my first email I explained that I had already tried trouble shooting to see if it was something to be fixed. The next email from Zora 24 hours later was asking me to try trouble shooting from the guides provided online. I already had and had just told them this. The next email which was the next day 24 hours later asked if I really needed to be using it where it was loose and if I could cut further down. What?? No I want to use the product how it was intended. Now after pictures and asking if they will uphold their warranty a full 24 hours later they are wanting a video to send to their factory to confirm. This is the video I provided in this review. The reason this is going on like this is because they have a 1 year warranty which I purchased the cutter on September 7th, 2023 it is August 19th 2024, so as you can see they are purposely dragging this on by responding to one email every 24 hours to try and go past the warranty date. My advice do not buy anything from this company as they are a complete joke and the products they sell match the customer service I am receiving. I Have had to buy 4 of these in the last 5 years, this year I noticed they had the warranty and wanted to use it since the problem occurred within the warranty time frame. the unfortunate part is of all the cutters available on amazon they are all the same, just with different company logos. I went with HFS because I assumed them having a US presence and being in many other sectors it would be a better customer experience. Boy was I wrong, learn from my mistake and do not buy anything from HFS. Horrible value horrible customer service and absolutely zero accountability for their customers who keep them in business.

The guillotine cuts through approx 3cm. It requires some effort but has now done about 30 books of this size without loss of sharpness. Two minor issues I've had to work around:1. Books tend to warp a little whilst being cut, so I tend to break them into 2 thinner sections to reduce the effect2. The last few pages don't cut cleanly, hence the scissors in the attached photo. I've tried putting scrap paper underneath the books, but that makes so much mess!Overall, very pleased.
