@lgsp @cstross A guillotine relies upon sliding motion, whereas a rotating blade can provide much more efficient cutting.
Notice how we slice cold cuts with a circular spinning blade, not a sliding blade.
An improved guillotine could use a circular blade attached to an axle. The axle rolls down a ramp. This ramp has a slot for the blade, and this slot is aligned with the victim's neck.
