I've been meaning to make one for years and I finally had a few hours to burn the last 2 days so I whipped this up. Its more of a prototype proof of concept as the wear surfaces are mild steel and after 10 cards it is showing some wear. I plan on replacing them with some tool steel plates and that should solve that.
It works by putting it in a vice upright and just slide the card in the slot and pull the handle to shear off the fingers, the fingers fall out into a pail and everything it kept pretty tidy. I did a little time trial and it looks like you can easily do 20 cards a min, maybe 30 with a little practice.
