Guillotine vs. Die Cutting Business Cards

I’m wondering how others prefer to cut 4-up business cards to size. After printing 4-up business cards (standard size), I’ve been cutting them to size on my 19” Champion hydraulic guillotine. I always find it tedious work. Do you prefer to just die cut them to size on press or do you prefer using the guillotine? (my press is a hand-fed 10x15 Craftsman) I’d really appreciate some insight!

I think cutting would be easier, although I use a table top business card slitter, which does a great job.

Personally, prefer the guillotine. But, I use a Lawson MPU 42 w/microcut, all the bells and whistles. It’s made me a new man. I used to hate it when I had the entirely manual challenge (no motor, all manual back-gauge).
