I like to do paper crafts and have tried several different paper cutters over the years. This is the best cutter I have ever used.

I was concerned the laser feature would just be a gimmick, but it's not--it is dead-on accurate and makes lining up cuts completely fool-proof. The laser system turns off automatically to save batteries, and they thoughtfully included a set of AAA batteries in the box.

The main surface has a subtle non-stick feel to it which helps make lining up the paper easy and precise. The surface has a useful grid with markings for common paper sizes. There's a full ruler at the top of the unit which is also handy. The arm mechanism feels smooth and cuts are perfectly straight.

Another reviewer complained that this unit is made from plastic but I like that it is lightweight; it makes it easier to carry around, and it still feels very sturdy. There is a rubberized handle on the side that makes it easy to carry (be careful not to pick the unit up by the cutting handle because it could inadvertently come unlatched).

I have been using this cutter for a couple of weeks now and couldn't be happier. It's a little on the expensive side, but for precise, straight-line cuts I don't think there's anything better.

2Too flimsy for heavy useMar 30, 2009
By E. Ng
The laser alignment is very helpful, but this plastic version does not hold up to heavy usage. I've gone through two already, and each has lasted maybe 9 months. The parts that control the laser light switching on and off are extremely sensitive and can be easily dislodged permanently if you accidentally push the cutting lever down too hard. If that happens, that's the end of the trimmer. Very disappointing considering the cost. I am trying out the wood base version (which only costs about $6 more on amazon) to see if it holds up better.

4Good value for the moneyNov 25, 2008
By D. Hargreaves
I Bought this trimmer to cut holiday cards and to make my own business cards and it works very well for these projects. I wasn't sure if I would use the laser, but have found it to be a very useful feature for making multiple cuts on one piece of paper, such as business cards. The laser has an adjustment feature but I found it to be dead on right out of the box.

My only concern would be that this trimmer is made entirely out of plastic. It is very light weight and probably would not stand up to hard use, such as in a busy office. But for what I use it for it is excellent.

5This product earned my 5 star rating. It was not given:Jan 15, 2012
By Cornelius Van Ess IV

Cost: Very reasonable, and it works as claimed for me. Since it works as good as it gets in its price range, it's well worth the cost because it performs as well as many trimmers costing twice as much, or more.

Laser Light: It's not a gimmick, and when adjusted between the leading edge length of the blade's shearing bar and blade, where the beam meets between the two, it does bounce and reflect the beam poorly as others state, but it's not a defect because the laser is trying to locate its target area on a reflective edge that has dispersed off of these two points: BUT, when you insert a piece of paper to your cut spot, the laser beam does not disperse off the edge; rather, it now puts its red beam completely across the paper's surface cutting area as there's nowhere for the beam to disperse off of now. It beams acrosss the paper's entire length exactly where the blade will make its cut, and brightly too and very accurately! BTW, my trimmer's laser beam needed no adjustment as it is dead on from the factory.

Weight: Since much of this trimmer is made of impact resistant plastic, it's light enough and tough enough to travel with you.

Blade: Sharp, sturdy, and appears to be made of quality steel that should give you years of good cuts. The blade is also self sharpening.

Conclusions: The overall quality of the material used to produce this trimmer, in it's price range, gets 5 stars out of 4 stars being the highest. What would you expect from X-acto, anything less? I'm not giving this X-acto product 5 stars--it earned 5 stars.

Imprinted measurements: Okay, but no better or worse than any other trimmer in its price range. They're good enough, though, for most home and craft requirements. If a crafter needs better measurement markings, they know how to work around that issue with other tools in their bag of tricks, and why I'm happy with my purchase, and you should be too. Just don't pretend you purchased a $300 guillotine trimmer... and expect it to perform like a thoroughbred even though it may behave like one. Heavy duty work loads, NO, but light to medium work loads...yes, for the home or small business projects. However, according to other reviews, some claim it's a bit buggy right out of the box. Perhaps, and only wondering, maybe the issues, here, are the operator rather than the product...just asking. If not, and it is a product issue, and like a new car off the showroom floor won't have some bugs...that's why you get a warranty, and then there's Amazons great returns policy, and why Amazon's growing faster by the day. Amazon is not perfect either, but they work to get it right, and experientially X-acto does also, and so do many other companies that make the effort because customers know crap from shinola, and quality from inferior.

5All time Favorite!Jan 18, 2013
By Pamela M. "A book can get you out of your house, your town, even out of the country. I'm an avid reader believing reviews help find the good ones."
I have had this paper cutter for more then 10 years and LOVE IT!. I have had alot of different paper cutters and none have measured up to this one. The laser does it for me. I am a scrapper and artist and I need that laser light. Alot of times when you are printing out pictures from your printer it doesn't always print them out straight and the laser light shows you EXACTLY where you need to be. I also print out alot of artwork that I use in my journals and again it doesn't always come out straight so the laser is a must. Now if I was just cutting plain paper all the time I would probably not need the laser but to many times I am cutting out of magazines, books, newspapers etc... and this works great. I got the plastic base one because there is always water in my art area or I will cut something I just painted and the plastic is super easy to clean. I have cut through leather, cardstock, foam board, metal, cloth, twine, cording and a bunch of other things and still after 10 years my blade is still sharp. This item is in my top 10 must haves in my Art Studio!
