The Intimus Powerline PL265 Fully Automatic Programmable Cutter: A Review

• The PL265 has a 2.875-inch cutting capacity. That basically means it's capable of cutting over 700 sheets at once, which is more than an entire ream of paper. Cutting capacities don't come much larger than this.
• This machine has a blade that's 26 inches wide. (Plus, there's a whopping 16 inches of space in front of the blade.) Since the blade is so large you'll be able to trim both large and small pieces of paper including legal- and letter-sized sheets, which are the two most common types of paper. If you want to trim really thin paper such as carbonless sheets, you can use a false clamp to get the job done. All together, this is a very versatile trimmer that should fulfill your cutting needs.
• The PL265 has a backgauge that can advance automatically, making it easy to do repeated cuts. You can control the position of the backgauge digitally which is really convenient.
• If you use this device a lot, you're going to appreciate its ability to store five different cutting programs. If you use this feature, you won't have to keep entering the same commands into the machine which will help you save time.
• The PL265 can display instructions on English, Italian, Spanish, French, and German. The machine is also equipped with a diagnostic system that can help you solve any problems that might pop up.
• This device has a couple of really handy safety features including a keylock that restricts usage. Also, two buttons must be pressed simultaneously for the machine to start working. This ensures your hands won't be anywhere near the blade and that you'll stay safe.
• You can order optional side tables for this cutter if you'd like to have more space in which to work.
• The PL265 is, to put it bluntly, huge. It measures 39” x 50” x 49.5” and it weighs over 800 pounds so it's not a good choice if your workspace is really limited.
• Finally, this cutter comes with a generous one-year warranty just like the company's other products.
