I added "Rubberized Shelf Liner" to the bed. I glued
this stuff down with rubber cement. Much better than the
hard slippery wood surface on the paper guillotine.

BTW, there are some paper cutters with anti skid surfaces.

I agree. My tin snips are the old style that look like large
scissors, not the modern type with force multiplication.
The blades are a bit more than 4" long.

Longer boards than the blade length tend to warp the board
when it has to curl up over the handle.

The modern snips tend to warp even short boards though.
