I have an old 24" Milton Bradely guillotine paper cutter in need of a compression spring and a torsion spring. The comp. spring is missing and the torsion spring is broken. I can only guess at the comp spring # of coils, wire diameter, etc. Any one know a place that would have these parts particular to paper cutters? Thanks

Hey Slowpoke, I don't know anybody selling parts specifically for paper cutters but you can try Lee Spring Co. We've got one of their print catalogs at the shop and they have just about any kind of spring you may want.

I can't make heads or tails of the catalog lists for compression springs. How can the hole diameter be larger than the outside diameter? What is the difference between wire diameter and rod diameter that's listed for each spring?

Hey Slowpoke, I didn't think about it last night but you may also want to check with McMaster Carr. They have a pretty wide selection of all the different varieties of springs.----- As for the Lee spring site, I'll look at the print catalog tomorrow and see if I can find an explination for you. I can understand what Joe is saying about the hole size being for a die spring but liie you said it's listing it with the regular comprssion springs too. I agree this is confusing, expecially when they're not giving any kind of explination of terms.---- I know when we've called to check on a specific spring usually all we've had was the diameter of the wire, OD or ID of the coil, and the length. If you've got those or even a close idea you may be able to find the right one on their site anyway since there was a way to look up the springs by spec only.---I'll check tomorrow and see if I can clear things up.

It sounds like you are looking at die springs. The hole dia. is the minimun size of the hole it can be used in. The rod size is the maximum size of rod it can be used over.

Joe, it sure makes sense now. I found three 1" springs at a surplus place. (The same place the MythBusters get some of their stuff to try and kill themselves.) Put them all together and they seem to hold the tension on the knife for cutting paper. Now to see what else it can cut....
