Description
Ideal 1142 A3 trimmer is a 430 mm lever-operated paper cutter for offices, schools and print rooms. It suits users who trim A3 documents, posters and smaller formats in repeated batches.
The stated capacity reaches 20 sheets of 70–80 gsm paper per pass. Therefore, teams can cut a small stack instead of trimming every sheet separately. A laser-cut steel blade performs the cut. Also, its non-stick coating supports smooth movement through the listed paper load.
Ideal 1142 A3 trimmer uses a transparent clamp bar to hold paper during alignment. Because the bar also acts as a safety guard, it separates the working area from the blade path. Printed guides cover A3, A4 and A6 formats plus common photo sizes. Meanwhile, an adjustable back gauge supports consistent repeat cuts.
Rubber feet stabilise the base on a suitable desktop. However, users must follow the operating and blade-safety instructions supplied with the machine. Before cutting a full job, test the stock type and stack thickness. Finally, confirm model 1142, the 430 mm cutting length and the required A3 format before ordering.
