This guide, when screwed down to a cutting board or other solid surface, acts as a guide for rapidly cutting multiple 8 page zines. Guide here for folding this type of zine (no affiliation with that link). 

This guide fits 5 zines easily, 8+ with a little wiggling. 

Screw holes are sized for #8 pan head screws. Recommend extra perimeters or solid infill around the screw holes to provide a solid backing for the screws. 

The slot length is longer than the cut to account for the radius of a 45mm rotary cutter. Note that your rotary cutter must allow for over 6mm of exposed blade to be compatible with the slot depth of this guide. 

A "fold line" mark is provided for alignment of a utility knife, x-acto, or similar blade tool. 

STRONGLY recommend mounting this to a sturdy surface with plenty of board past the cutting guide to prevent blade accidents. Keep your fingers away from the sharp things zone! 

STL, STEP, and 3MF provided - same model in all 3.
