Guillotines chop heads. If you look at the guillotine blade, it is angled, with one side of the blade much higher than the other end. I would think the guillotine blade would be shaped more rectangular.
In: Engineering
In addition to making a cleaner/more reliable cut, having an angled blade also places less stress on all of the components of the guillotine. A straight blade means all of the force is taken up in one big WHACK when the blade hits, meaning shocks go through the blade, the housing and the upright rails all at once. If the blade is angled the force is felt over more time, even if it’s like, a tenth of a second, it’s still better than the alternative.
Less blade sharpening, less maintenance in general.
