Designed, engineered, and assembled for performance—Formax cutters are built to meet the demands of today’s production environments, delivering reliability from the inside out.

Introducing the Formax Cut-True 33H—a true two-shift, industrial-grade hydraulic paper cutter built for demanding digital print and in-plant finishing.

With a 31.5-inch cutting width, the 33H delivers the ideal balance of capacity and practicality—handling larger production jobs while fitting seamlessly into most operations.

True hydraulic power drives both the blade and clamp, delivering smooth, consistent cuts with minimal effort. On-screen adjustable hydraulic pressure lets operators fine-tune performance based on paper weight and stack height—ensuring clean, accurate results every time.

Engineered for precision, the 33H features a high-speed hardened steel blade, PLC-driven electronics, and programmable job settings for consistent, repeatable performance. A bright LED cutting line and electronic micro-adjuster make positioning fast and precise.

The intuitive 10-inch touchscreen allows you to store up to 100 programs with 100 cuts each, reducing setup time and streamlining repeat jobs.

A ¼-inch stainless steel air-assist ball deck allows large stacks to glide effortlessly into position—reducing operator fatigue and improving workflow.

A removable false clamp protects sensitive stocks, while built-in safety features—including an infrared safety curtain and dual-button operation—ensure confident, reliable use.

Simply program, position, and cut—delivering accurate, professional results every time.

The Formax Cut-True 33H is the ideal solution for producing brochures, manuals, mailers, and more—helping you work faster, reduce waste, and bring more finishing in-house.

The Cut-True 33H—built for performance, built for productivity… shift after shift.
