Laminate guillotines

I'm thinking about buying a guillotine to cut laminates, anyone know where the best place to buy 1 and which 1 to buy as there's quite a few?

 

I got a magnum shear from havwoods, it cost £120 When i got it, i think they are about £200+vat now

 

As above. For the money you can’t get better

 

If you do a lot of the wider boards, it might be worth investing in the 13inch magnum shear, they cost a lot more and weigh a lot more, but they are very heavy duty (will even cut through 18mm solid oak) and you can use it for stuff like quickstep largo and majestic, which won't fit in the 9inch

 

Thanks for feed back guys. I might go with the 13 model, iv also been looking at the d cut guillotine, has anyone ever used them?

 

The dcut as in the LP650 janser?

 

I'm not sure wat model mate,looking for a heavy duty 1 to cut laminates and engineered boards, I just seen them online and was wondering if they were any good. I'm using a jigsaw atm and sick of cleaning up after me, the dusts a nightmare!

 

I have the lp650 guillotine but it's not for laminate/wood though. It's the same as the romus 650 guillotine.

The magnum shear would be your ideal one

Daz would you use the guillotine every time your fitting floors? Would it be worth investing in 1 of these? Are they as good as there made out to be?

 

Yes mate. Every laminate I use it. Great tool for the price. So quick and clean.

that was a really old pic Dan. The dust extraction was rubbish on the jigsaw

 

Daz what model do you use?

Good man daz, I'm thinking of buying the 13" magnum Pro. I'll check the sweeney Todd out, daz thanks for that appreciate it.

 

Daz how do ya get urself 1 of them fancy catalogs?

 

Might have to get one of them. I bought a romus guilly for laminate 15 years ago and still use it all the time for 8mm laminate. Great way to cut and fit. Jigsaw dust is a killer and chopsaw blades don’t last long on laminates

I'm looking a pair of mitre shears,what's the best pair to buy guys? , iv a dewalt flexvolt battery chopsaw it's handy bt again dust is an issue, think a pair of cutters would be better for beading?

 

Ok but not great amd don’t last long. I’ve found the best thing is a little mitre box. Gemini make one that’s perfect
