12" X-Acto paper trimmerDec 27, 2006
By OT "delirium_tremens"
I have had this product for a few years. It seemed at a reasonable price although the handle and the back straightedge piece is a bit bulky with weird designo-curves. The legs are strange and also have useless bulky designer-curves. The box showed a straightedge with both inches and centimeters, a big plus.

However this cutter never cuts straight, as the plastic straightedge is at a very small off angle. So I use it only by eyeing the cutting line at the cutting edge itself. If there is something unimportant, I may use the straightedge but this never gives a true 90 degree angle.

The problem, I think, is in that when you lift the guilotine knife, it bends and torques the back mechanism. So the unit isn't built solid.

Useful for low end projects. Main straightedge in the back isn't straight, resulting in off-angled cuts. I sometimes had ok results with the T-straightedge, but it is a bit flimsy.

Numbers cast into the main straightedge are also very hard to read. I wiped a little bit of gesso on my unit so I could read the numbers.

This one doesn't 'cut it'Sep 28, 2008
By Jenn "Jenn"
The cutter looks like it should do a good job, but when in use it falls short in many areas.

- cutting edge catches at the top and you have to pull the handle to the right to free from the catch, then return the handle into the base to continue the cut

- it cuts crooked on all but the thinnest papers

- the cutting edge does not handle even slightly thick paper such as glossy photo paper stock thickness. It pushes the paper instead of cutting it

- the cutting arm pivot mechanism is not smooth and it has halting movement as you lower the arm

Save your money and buy a commercial grade cutter. If I find one that works, I'll edit this review with the model I bought.

Solid platformJan 02, 2008
By R. Corchard "gadget freak"
This does just what I want it to do, trim photo's. I think that the slide stop could have been engineered better though. it does'nt slide or lock properly.

Good and BadJan 04, 2012
By Mark Manning
I just bought this at Staples for $35.00 - so if you decide to buy this thing - go there.

Situation:

I have used this paper cutter to cut 20lb, 25lb, 110lb, 200lb paper and 1/32", 1/16", and even 1/8" vinyl tile. Now - you may say "But it isn't a vinyl tile cutter" - but keep in mind that VINYL tile (not ceramic tile) is easily cut with a pair of scissors (1/32" thickness), heavy duty scissors (1/16"), and tile clippers (1/8"). A heavy duty paper cutter can (and does) slice right through most vinyl tile. The hardest to cut vinyl tile is the dark rubber vinyl tile with the glue. The glue tends to make the blade become sticky as well.

Good:

1. A bit heavy but not terribly so.
2. Cuts the paper quickly and easily.
3. It can be used to cut vinyl tile.
4. The base is very solid (the wooden area).
5. The legs are solid.
6. If you press down by putting your weight on the blade's handle - it cuts better than if you pull the handle from the front or bottom.

Bad:

1. If you put enough paper into the unit (or tile) the blade tends to wobble or even turn. I'm talking about 1/32" tile (which is the thinest) is when the blade begins to bend.
2. When the blade is attempting to cut something like 200lb paper or thicker - the rear of the blade begins rising up. I wound up putting a screwdriver into the hold on the side. This stopped the rear of the unit from rising up. However, this concerned me quite a bit. See what I have to say about the Swingline el-cheapo paper cutter which actually worked quite well.
3. The unit tends to move around while you use it. Not like BANG! it moves - but more like it moves a little every time you use it. The Swingline unit doesn't do this.
4. Although it is a heavy duty paper cutter - it tends to stick when you get about 3/4 of the way down the paper (or tile). There is nothing wrong with the blade. I've tested it without anything. Without anything in the device - it is ok. With something - it tends to stick.
5. I believe if the blade were just a little thicker it would work a lot better.
6. It is hard to tell where the edge of the paper cutter is or where it is going to go. This is because there is a finger guard and the metal where the blade cuts reflects the blackness of the finger guard which makes it harder to tell where the blade will go. Unlike the Swingline paper cutter I have (the el-cheapo one) - there isn't any piece of metal near where the blade comes down which acts like a guide and helps you see where the far and near edges are so you get a straighter line.

Thoughts:

1. This paper cutter would be a lot nicer if the feet were made of steel since that would give the product more weight. Also, if steel were used for the back part it would not go up and down when you try to cut through cardboard, vinyl tile, or thick paper stacks.
2. I only rate this product two stars because the baseboard is heavy duty particle wood which will stand up to high usage.
3. The blade is too thin and is not adequately supported by the plastic back part. Under high enough stress the back plastic part can and probably will eventually snap causing damage to the user as well as lawsuits to X-ACTO. And no - I don't mean myself. When I say I am doing vinyl tile - I mean one piece - not the entire box or even two sheets at a time. I do one sheet at a time and the sheets are a maximum of 1/8" (usually 1/16" of an inch thick). Nor do I even attempt to cut ceraminc, glass, or anything else that is a very hard surfaced material. I use cheap vinyl tile made in China. Go look at the $0.30 per sheet tile. That is what I am talking about. Any paper cutter in the world should be able to cut that tile.

Really love this trimmerApr 27, 2011
By D. Turner
I'm really happy with this trimmer. I cut out a lot of paper products and have always used rotary blade trimmers but when my last broke I purchased this one and love it. I get much cleaner cuts than the rotary trimmers and they are more precise. The blade really does cut through the cardstock like butter. The plastic guide is useless to me - it slips off easy and just isn't that helpful so I just removed it. You still have to be careful to hold the paper down tight as you trim or else the paper will slip. I cut 100 lb cardstock and can cut two sheets at a time. Overall, I'm super happy with this trimmer!
