Model: SCM-H
The Challenge SCM Hydraulic corners a full 4" stack of paper in one powered stroke — the manufacturer rates it at up to ten times the capacity of electric tabletop cornering machines. Six knife sizes from 1/8" to 5/8" radius (plus a straight diagonal) handle everything from playing cards to coated cover stock, with a shear cutting action that keeps knives sharp and gravity chip disposal into a large waste bin. Made in Michigan, USA.
