Sure, the IKEA guillotine is cheap, but it'll go dull after only 5-10 elites. The lightweight construction makes it convenient to ship and assemble, but reduces the cutting power. Support your local carpenters and blacksmiths.
True. Buy quality over quantity. I'm not going back to using mass-produced machines. I had to drop the blade four times to get through the spine and arteries of a mostly-spineless CEO. The mouton kept jumping off the rails and prolonging the whole job. By the time the head was free, the blood had drained all over the bascule and we didn't have a clean shearpoint for a solid centerpiece. It involved a lot of post-process work.
I strongly recommend getting a name-brand machine with quality, heavy duty bearings and fasteners.
We all know it's going to take 2 or 3 good chops to get all the way through. Might have to lean on it.
I think you could get someone who would approach it professionally, and after a few runs, they'd get it dialed in, and start dropping right between the vertebrae, for a clean cut. They'd keep the equipment maintained properly, too, sharpened, and oiled, and what not.
Guillotine is neither the most efficient nor the greatest spectacle. The thing the guillotine does best is incite fear, which isn't really the goal for someone whose priority is a functioning democracy.
Best spectacle is noose. Most efficient is bullets.
I fully agree with the repression of the Capitalists, Fascists and Monarchists, that's why I support Actually Existing Socialist states! I salute you, comrade!

The weight of the blade is key. A cheap blade like that won't sever the spine.

it's the message. noose is use for whatever. bullets to kill whatever. guillotines is a clear message that it is aimed at the elite.
