Aside from the old English method (a big hefty executioner with a really big axe), the most common machine used for beheading was the French Guillotine. It was used as a method of execution in France until capital punishment there was abolished in 1981. The last execution in France by guillotine was in 1977.
There are other older machines similar to the French Guillotine, like the Scottish Maiden, and the Halifax Engine, but the guillotine is the most well known device because of its use during the French Revolution to execute nobles, including the King and Queen of France.
