Description: The construction with a massive screw thread and tightening arm is characteristic of manual presses used in bookbinding workshops. Simultaneously, it served as a joiner's lever veneer cutter, or a bookbinder's cardboard guillotine. Its use involved precisely cutting thin sheets of wood veneer, thick cardboard, or stacks of paper. Unlike ordinary scissors, the screw mechanism ensured that the blade descended perfectly straight and with immense force. This feature effectively prevented fraying of material edges and guaranteed a clean and precise cut. The mechanical device provided high precision and cut cleanliness, essential for quality work in bookbinding and joinery.
