This Polar 58 EM is a guillotine — also known as a paper cutter — a precision cutting machine used in print finishing operations to trim, stack-cut, and square sheets of paper, card, and similar substrates to exact dimensions. Polar is a well-established German manufacturer recognised throughout the printing and graphic arts industry as a leading producer of cutting equipment, and their guillotines are widely used in commercial print shops, binderies, and finishing houses around the world.
This example was built in 1994 and carries serial number 6451092. It is offered in used condition from a seller located in Germany. The machine is equipped with EM program control, which allows cutting sequences to be stored and recalled automatically, supporting efficient repeat jobs and reducing manual intervention between cuts.
The cutting table is chrome plated, a practical feature that reduces friction and allows paper stacks to be positioned and moved smoothly during operation. A back table cover is also fitted, providing protection to the rear working area. Safety is addressed through the presence of light barriers, which form a protective field around the cutting zone and halt the machine cycle if the beam is interrupted — a standard active safety requirement on modern guillotine installations. Two knives are included with the machine, giving the buyer an immediate spare blade and reducing downtime at changeover.
