The Formax Cut-True 29A is a programmable electric guillotine cutter built for print shops, in-plants, and finishing environments that need precision, repeatability, and operator safety. With a 20.5” cutting width, 7” full-color touchscreen, electronically controlled clamp and blade, and the ability to store up to 100 jobs with up to 100 steps each, the 29A delivers efficient, accurate cutting for a wide range of production applications.

Key Features

  • Fully programmable back gauge for accurate positioning and repeatable cut sequences
  • Infrared light beam safety curtain that immediately stops operation if interrupted
  • Two-hand operation to help keep hands clear during cutting
  • LED cutting line for clear visual alignment before each cut
  • Fine-tuning knob for precise adjustment control

Product Overview

Designed for modern finishing workflows, the Cut-True 29A combines user-friendly controls with production-ready cutting capability. Its programmable touchscreen and electronic back gauge make repeat jobs faster and more consistent, while the infrared safety curtain and two-hand operation help support safe day-to-day use.

The low-friction work surface, hardened steel blade, solid steel blade carrier, and included blade change safety tool kit make this model a strong fit for operations that need dependable cutting performance without stepping up to a much larger industrial cutter.
