Heavy Duty Paper Cutter, 12" Guillotine Paper Cutter, Cortadora de Papel 400 Sheets Paper Trimmer with Double Safety Protection&Durable HSS Blade for Cutting Paper, Leather, PVC,Non-Woven Fabrics

I bought this paper cutter to cut 8.5" x 11" 60lb card stock into 6 pieces - repeatedly. It's hard to imagine that this machine can cut through over an inch of card stock with ease - but it does! This is definitely not a toy, and the blade is extraordinarily sharp (which it needs to be to function properly), so respect it!My machine was shipped and arrived in good condition. This machine also came with a replacement blade, which I thought would be a good idea. Set up on this machine is quick and easy. There are grid lines marked on the cutter, but it think for high-precision work, a person may want to calibrate those lines.The machine is heavy - about 45lbs. ! I placed the machine on a rolling cabinet, which allows me to store it, instead of using counter space, when not in use. I may try to incorporate an LED cut-line indicator light, but that's a project for another day.Overall, I'm pleased with this machine. It has already saved me money by be able to print and quickly cut the pieces I need without having to take the job to a professional printer.

I recently purchased six vintage books online, only to discover that none of them had been properly trimmed. The pages were folded and glued to the spine, but the final trimming step had been skipped, leaving every 16 pages stuck together and unreadable. While I could have used an X-Acto knife to cut them by hand, I knew that would lead to an uneven, unprofessional result. I searched for a factory or shop that could help, but had no luck.That’s when I found this paper cutter. Yes, it’s large and heavy, but it did the job perfectly! I was able to trim all six books with precision, and they look great now. My wife thinks I’m a little crazy for going to these lengths, but for me, it was totally worth it. I’ve since boxed the cutter away, but I can definitely see myself using it again in the future for similar projects—like tidying up the edges of old, worn books. Highly recommend if you run into similar situation (doubtful? lol)

The media could not be loaded. First of all - I'm rating this 5 stars because I don't believe it is the fault of the paper cutter itself. It seems relatively sturdy and well built. And what parts of the paper it did cut - it cut nicely.I'm only posting this review so there's a record of the video of what it's doing so Amazon can see it because I'm returning it.Mine arrived heavily physically damaged. Bent. How do you bend a thick heavy piece of metal like this???Because of this it's not cutting paper all the way through. The top half cuts nice. The bottom half doesn't. The bottom half of the blade doesn't lower fully to the cutting bed. And if I were to push harder it just pushes the top half more firmly: ruining the cutting bed, dulling the blade and still not cutting the paper. I tried pushing very hard hoping it would level itself out - all that did was make it cut into its own plastic cutting bed guard block - ruining it.I don't feel good about rating this 1 star when it's clearly a damaged/defective unit. So, it's getting a 5 star to be fair. But be aware of the possibility of defects in how it cuts - see video.

I received this paper cutter 8 weeks ago and left a 5 star review because it cuts so well. And that is still true. It is a fantastic paper cutter. However now that the blade has worn out I have found 2 problems: First, I cannot find replacement blades anywhere. Someone said Walmart had them but they don't now. I found a blade on Amazon that looks like it might work. It is from a different company (HFS) so I can't be sure. Secondly I found that one of the 5 Allen key screws that holds the blade in is stripped. This was a brand new machine and it has clearly arrived with a screw that has the Allen head stripped which I did not notice until I went to remove the blade. So far I have not been able to remove it. I am past my return window on Amazon. I give it a zero star. 2nd update: I purchased the HFS blade (HFS (R) Paper Cutter Blade for HFS 12'' Heavy Duty Guillotine A4 Paper Cutter) and good news is that it does fit. So if you are buying a new guillotine I suggest you buy the HFS brand because they at least do sell a replacement blade. (HFS (R) Heavy Duty Guillotine Paper Cutter -12'' (12'' Paper Cutter) PS I purchased a tool that allowed me to remove the screw and was able to purchase a replacement screw at the local hardware store).

This cutter is a game changer for my small business. The cutter is very sturdy and heavy, you will need to very sturdy table top to set it on. It does not come with instructions just a diagram of what’s inside the box. I am not sure what to use the small round device for. The tools are inside the toolbox you just have to open it. Overall no issues it has been cutting paper like butter the lever has a safety feature and it does come with an extra blade.

This paper cutter is very high quality and heavy duty. The price is certainly fair. It is easy to operate. I have trimmed about a hundred bookets on three sides with no signs of the blade getting dull. Also, it cuts at least 300 sheets of 20lb bond stock with ease. The cutting board is labeled with rulers for ease of setting cutting measurements. It has a safety latch to prevent accidental cutting. All in all, it is everything and more as advertised.

I love this paper cutter. I don't need to cut 500 sheets at a time, and while this cutter may be able to handle that quantity, I am cutting 50 to 150 sheets at a time. The people griping about not being able to cut 400-500 sheets are the same ones that buy a big paper shredder and constantly overload it and wonder why it jams up. This is a really nice cutter. I use my equipment properly, and don't overload them so I can use them again tomorrow and next week and next year. It is heavy, and it needs to be to stay aligned for straight cuts.

This is a sweet machine. Makes cutting in bulk a breeze. I love the safety features like a locking handle. The adjustable cutting guide makes this a consistent machine. It’s satisfying and fun to use.
