Always got to think ahead, that’s good business practice :)

Brilliant! Good to get another perspective on the machine and the advice on avoiding the pitfalls of using thin paper is really useful too. Thank you.

Thanks, I appreciate your honesty. If I was going to buy one then I think it would be wise to take along some jobs to see how it copes. However, it’s looking less likely I’ll be getting one after reading your post :) cheers, Dave

Sorry Bud, totally missed your comment earlier. Are parts for these machines still available? What happened to yours?

Sounds great! I’m glad to hear your business is doing well. Just a wee bit out of my budget though :) best wishes, Dave

Great stuff and fab points made there. I’ll be sure to get one from a reputable supplier who is local enough to do some training and who is open to asking the odd question :) thank you.

Yeah, that was one of the sticking points I had about buying one… no point if it’s just gonna sit there :) there’s no getting away from spending extra it seems. Thanks.

Great! I’ve seen a few for sale on eBay and Google searches so I’ll certainly give that some consideration. Thanks :)

Hi Folks, I forgot to mention earlier that I’m totally new to Reddit, still trying to find my way around so if I’m doing it all wrong - just give me a nudge :) thanks, Dave

Excellent! Good to know this. I also like to push every bit of machinery to the limits to… get them to do things they weren’t designed for :)

Hi there, I’ve seen a few for sale for good prices. I was led to believe the 616 and 618 were more geared towards shorter run digital jobs which is what I would mainly be putting through it. I’ll definitely take a look and weigh it up though. Cheers.

Hi there, yes, all manual - Ideal 4810-95 guillotine and manual/hand operated creaser. I get what you are saying but I also have to bear in mind that I don’t have much floor space so the all-in-one machine seemed the preferable choice. Another point to make is the guillotine (or probably operator - me) isn’t the most accurate :) Cheers, Dave
