Default Best cutter for Film

On 6/9/2009 5:31 AM Garry spake thus:

Anyone care to offer an informed opinion on the best cutter for sheet
film?
My only experience was way back in the day where the studio I worked
at as a young buck bought 8x10 buy the van load and yours truly would
use a guillotine(non rotary) cutter to cut to the required size. Do
rotary cutters work better?


Based on my experience cutting various things, I'd say the standard
paper cutter would be the best. (Not a guillotine, which would consist
of a vertical-moving blade; only big paper cutters, like the ones
printers use, have that.) Results in the least handling and potential
scratching of the film stock.

Who knew when I joined this group some time ago I'd be deluged with
such helpful solititations for so many useful products that I never
knew I needed. ;-}


Yes, Usenet is turning into Spam Central, isn't it? Blame Google and
their misbegotten Google Groups (aka SpamPortal) for much of that.
