The Polar 137 X is a guillotine — a machine designed to make precise, straight cuts through stacks of paper, card, and similar sheet materials — used widely in commercial print shops, binderies, and finishing rooms. Sometimes referred to as a paper cutter or cutting machine, the guillotine is a cornerstone of the print finishing process, and Polar is one of the most respected names in this field, with decades of experience manufacturing high-performance cutting and finishing equipment trusted by the printing industry worldwide.
This 2005 machine is offered used from France and comes with a practical selection of features and accessories. It is equipped with an air table, which floats stock on a cushion of air to allow heavy or large paper lifts to be repositioned and aligned with minimal effort and reduced risk of marking or disturbing the pile. Two side tables extend the working surface on either side of the main table, supporting larger format material and keeping the cutting area organised and manageable.
The machine includes two knives, giving the operator a spare blade ready for changeover when the working knife requires sharpening or replacement — a practical detail that helps minimise downtime. Photo cells provide a safety barrier in front of the cutting beam, detecting the presence of hands or obstructions and stopping operation automatically, in line with the safety requirements of a pressroom environment. The listing also notes that a program is included, indicating that the machine retains programmed cutting sequences, which supports repeatable, efficient production runs without the need to manually reset each cut position.
