Have you ever bought anything from Fiskars that isn't good? This trimmer is very handy for projects that can handle full sheets of paper. I have the smaller trimmer from Fiskars, but when I needed to cut a full sheet of paper, I could not cut it vertically, as the paper did not fit into the trimmer. Now that is not a problem. Very good product from Fiskars, as always.

I have seen and tried many paper cutters out there, but this one is by far the best in my opinion. It is sturdy, yet light to carry, and it has little orange rubber knobs on the corners so it doesn't move when you cut, and it won't scratch your table. The blade itself is sharp, and it cuts the paper easily and perfectly straight. It has an extendable arm at the top that lets you fit a larger sized piece of paper also. I just love this paper trimmer!

This Craft Trimmer is just what the Doctor Ordered. Its construction, fit, and mechanical percision is as good as you would see in an office grade product at a much better price point. If you need a cutter/trimmer for crafting or general use i would not hesitate to recommend this one. I use it in my small business and it performs flawlessly.

What a great product! I have several "knife" cutting boards but this one is so much easier to use. It's accurate as can be and easy to use for professional cutting results. I notice that the cutter is making a grove in the bottom piece but it's removable so maybe my concern is premature. This is a lifesaver for any accurate cutting job you might have.

When it comes to being crafty, there's absolutely nothing I won't try. I'm constantly making my own labels for store-bought goods, recycling cards into new cards, cutting out photos, magazine ads -- you name it! I cut lots of paper, thin plastic, Vellum, photo paper, card stock, etc. and I try to do much more with it than many crafting tools are intended.

br /I have half a dozen paper cutters and trimmers. All of them are Fiskars because they're well-made, stylish and last a long time. Before I got this trimmer I used my X-Acto knife more than anything else -- I just found that it yielded the crispest, most reliable results for thin, precise cuts. But now, this portable rotary trimmer has replaced my X-Acto knife for virtually all of my previous tasks. It's far better than any of my other "sliding" trimmers. Here's why:
br /
br /- It really is portable! It's lightweight because it's virtually all plastic. The 12" horizontal arm folds underneath the unit so it's only about 5" x 12" yet it still cuts a 12" x 12" sheet of paper with perfect 90 degree corners.
br /
br /- It has a wide, clear plastic "press" that keeps your paper from moving around, even on narrow sheets or the smallest trim. The wide plastic also gives you a place to press firmly onto the paper without oils or dirt from your fingertips getting onto your paper. The rotary cutting blade is on a separate arm that comes down over the top of the paper press. So, not only will your paper stay where you want it, you can see exactly where you're cutting without having to stand on your head. Both arms are ratcheted so they stay upright while you're positioning your paper. None of my other trimmers have that feature, and boy is it nice!
br /
br /- The rotary blade slides on an aluminum rail. It doesn't skip or "stick" like some cutters do. It's one smooth motion. It also cuts cleanly in a single swipe, which I'm sure adds to the life of the blade and the cutting mat below it.
br /
br /- Last night I wanted to put a finished edge on something so I decided 1/2" double-faced tape covered 1/2" strips of paper would do the trick. For this to work, I needed a precise cut. If it was preceise, either the tape would be exposed or my paper edging would not lay flat. I started with a 1" x 12" strip of paper (I recycle everything!) I successfully cut that into 2, 1/2" x 12" strips that fit exactly on my tape! None of my other trimmers can do that and give me two 100% equal-sized pieces. And believe me, I'd never try that with an X-Acto knife! I value my fingertips... I performed the real test of a straight cut: I folded my 1/2" strips end-to-end to see if one end was wider. All 4 ends were exactly the same size!
br /
br /- I don't very often cut paper any heavier than cardstock or photo paper, and I rarely cut multiple sheets. So I did a test for the purposes of this review. I stacked 4 strips of 1"x12" paper and cut them into 1/2" strips -- same great results. I stacked those 8 strips and cut them in half, too! I can't report I was able to divide the 1/2" width into perfect 1/4" and 1/4" strips but I can report I got 8 100% parallel strips of paper! All of them cut clean and parallel with a single pass of the blade.
br /
br /- The rotary cutting blade gives a clean cut with no burrs or folded edges. They last a lot longer because there's so much more surface area than a razor-blade based trimmer. I have other sliding trimmers with just the tip of a razor blade exposed and they can shred or leave ugly cuts, especially as the blade starts to wear out. Even my X-Acto knife had that shortcoming. The only thing worse than constantly buying replacement blades is ruining expensive photographic or specialty paper!
br /
br /- I have only one wish for this trimmer: that the rubber feet on the bottom would keep it in place. It's just too light for rubber feet to work -- suction cups would be better! Luckily, the wide plastic press allows me to put enough pressure to keep the unit from moving around.
br /
br /- And I have just one concern. I haven't been able to locate replacement rotary blades for this. The back of the trimmer says "Blade Style F" which I cannot find anywhere. The blade is about the size of a half-dollar.
br /
br /So buy this with confidence but be sure to buy your replacement blades at the same time or you'll be tempted to just buy a whole new trimmer when it comes time for a new blade!
