Depends on the issue. Cards that cannot be obtained uncut ... I can think of at least 3 issuers will (or at least used to) get a number grade by PSA. Others like Topps sheets will receive an A - I believe that all the major graders are reasonably good at detecting handcut. My speciality has always been T206 cards and I can usually tell if something came factory cut or was hand trimmed. You can literally see the ‘roll edge’ caused by the printer’s cutting device, something that ordinary cutting methods cannot duplicate.
