I work on finishing equipment that handles that paper or plastic and gear driven or hydraulic guillotine cutters are just one of the types of machines I work on.
Here's an example of one with a 92 cm cutting width, but with hex bolts securing the knife instead of Allen bolts. Still use a long T-wrench to reach the bolts. Although, I've met a man in his upper 60s that has resorted to using a battery powered impact driver.

That's interesting stuff. What catches my eye here is the diagonal shear action. Plus how quiet it is. Steel can be deafeningly loud to cut, but you get used to it.
