RA4 Paper Cutting Solutions

At our lab, we have an older Fotoba Rollcut 6000 from I think 2000 or 2001, which has the automated guillotine cutter as well as a conveyer belt that feeds RA4 paper into the slot where the guillotine then cuts it. Recently, we encountered an issue with the cutter not cutting consistently, we think due to a power issue or motor issue? Searching anywhere online, I can't even seem to find pictures of the same or similar machines. Everything I am finding is either an XY cutter, a manual guillotine cutter, or a slide trimmer.

Does anyone know a person or company that still could service one of these machines? It's very helpful for our darkroom tech, doesn't take up a ton of space and I don't see us changing the flow to be more manual.

I did find this electric paper cutter product but I need to measure the stock we regularly cut to see if it will fit and cut to the same specs:

Besides the big and expensive Lucht, Fotoba, or Durst autocutter options, are there any relatively cheap hacks for automatically cutting roll ra4 paper? Could you use a dummy/cheap vinyl cutter programmed only to paper size? Starting to look into an automatic solution since the normal paper roller cutter into a rotatrim doesn't yield the cleanest of results. One side is always askew and it is very frustrating.

Thanks

Usually that is from a dull blade have you tried to sharpen it?

I purposely cut the sheets a bit long using my paper chopper (which has a handy bar to keep your fingers away from the blade) and then cut them square on one edge after. I'll never actually use all the paper on the roll I have, so it's not much of a loss.
