Fiskars ProCision Rotary Bypass Paper Trimmer, 12" Cut Length, Self-Sharpening, Paper Trimmer for Crafting and Scrapbooking, Arts and Crafts Supplies, Photo Cutter

I recently acquired this paper cutter, and it's truly a game-changer for my crafting projects. Having damaged my previous cutter while attempting to slice through heavy cover cardstock, I was on the hunt for a replacement and this one has surpassed my expectations. The folding-out base is a standout feature, effectively doubling the measuring area, which is incredibly beneficial when working with full-size paper sheets and larger cardstock. The built-in base with its precise measuring guides significantly aids in achieving accurate cuts every time. The robust construction of this cutter instills confidence with each use. It delivers impeccably clean cuts, allowing for the conservation of paper and the creation of fine details without any waste. In fact, it played a crucial role in salvaging card bases I thought were ruined by my old cutter. Being able to fix those and add fine details was an absolute delight. I've been a longtime user of this company's crafting tools and have always been impressed with their customer service. While the cost initially made me hesitant, my extensive experience with paper cutters has taught me the value of a high-quality tool, particularly when it comes to achieving those precise, fine cuts. For those working with heavier paper, this cutter's performance is astonishing. It managed to make a fine cut on embossed heavy cover cardstock – a feat that most paper cutters struggle with. If you’re contemplating whether to invest in this cutter, I wholeheartedly recommend taking the plunge. The precision blade and guidelines ensure beautifully straight cuts, making this an investment you won’t regret. It’s not just a paper cutter; it’s an essential tool for anyone serious about their crafting.

been using it for a while now has been the best cutter I've bought stays sharp and cuts great even to do small trims not to heavy and folds for storage

This is an outstanding paper trimmer. I had another good name brand for 7 yrs but it did not have a guide/guard to hold the paper. The blade wabbled, etc. This Fiskars... has to be the best hands down. With the dual track the rotary blade runs on.. so accurate. The paper 'guard' holds or locks down to hold the paper so it does not shift. I cannot say enough about this cutter. Wish I would have started with this one. The other thing I want to mention is that there is a thin plastic film on the trimmer. That can come off or will work itself off. I thought mine was scratched but it was the very thin plastic that was just torn a little. I peeled all plastic off. Its a great trimmer, you can't go wrong with it. Highly recommend.

Overall I highly recommend. I deducted 1 star because I am using it to cut paper for origami, and I work with smaller paper. If I were using it to only cut larger pieces, it would easily be 5 stars. The cutting performance is excellent. It is bigger and heavier than I expected, which is ok because the construction is sturdy making it feel like a quality product (with the exception of the flap that holds the paper down). Positioning of rails make using it a little awkward when working with small paper. Pros - Cuts are crisp even when cutting multiple sheets - Cutting mechanism is solid. It slides on metal rails to keep cuts straight - Self sharpening - Lines on measuring board make getting cuts lined up straight easier - Measuring board folds in half to make it more compact - Rubber feet to keep from slipping - Measuring board is sturdy. Thick acrylic. Doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. - Plastic flap to hold paper is clear so measurement markings are visible when it is in down position - Measuring board bulky - good to store things inside it when it is folded Cons - Measuring board bulky - bad if being compact is the goal - Can't lock measuring board so that lays flat when it is unfolded. This is inconvenient if it is in your lap - Plastic flap to hold paper in place is flimsy and gets in the way - Stiff blade movement (due to self sharpening feature). This isn't really a con for me because I prefer to push a little more and not need to replace blades. But some people might not like it. - Rods the cutter slides on get in the way of holding paper if you need to cut narrow strips Design improvement recommendations - Reposition either cutting rails or paper holder to make cutting narrow strips easier. - Add lock to hold measuring board flat when it is open - Add measurement markings all the way down to the cutting edge

This is quite easily the best trimmer I have ever used. It cuts through tough material like chipboard and magnetic sheets like butter, but can also trim the smallest sliver from even printer paper. I can absolutely say I love it! I'll hopefully edit this review later as I see how the blade lasts over time, but for now I'm saying bye-bye to my other paper trimmers!

I am over the moon with my cutter. I must admit I had to get used to it, but love it. I’ve been looking at getting one for a long time. Cuts so much easier than the normal trimmer. You can get the smallest slither cut off your paper with no drama. Look forward to not buying blades all the time with this being self sharpening. Best purchase for crafting by far…and cheapest on Amazon!!

Es una herramienta que me ha encantado, corta muy bien y he logrado cortar (con un poco de fuerza) cartón gris de 1.5mm. la base fija bien y no se mueve fácilmente, la cuchilla gira y se desplaza muy bien, el seguro para las hojas resulta util aunque no hay que olvidarse de quitarlo. Los detalles que puedo mencionar son que al no tener toda la plataforma de medida corrida algunos cortes se dificultan, uno debe agarrarle maña para calcular cierta medida que es donde se pliega la base. también hay que calcular el ras del corte ya que no es justo donde acaba el plástico que asegura las hojas, hay que ver la cuchilla inferior para más o menos darse idea por dónde pasará la cuchilla. Por lo demás cumple bien su cometido, hay que procurar no meter muchas hojas a la vez ya que me ha pasado que la cuchilla se atora o carcome el corte pero son situaciones que se controlan teniendo paciencia con los trabajos que se realizan. Recomiendo el producto.

Jag är väldigt nöjd med denna skärmaskin. Stabil. Rakt och skarpt skär. Måtten och linjerna är förseglade under plasten. På mina tidigare har de legat överst vilket gjorde att de nöttes bort. På mina andra rullskärmaskiner har det inte varit rakt mot kanten utan man har fått gå efter linjerna. Liite stor i uppfällt läge men det överväger det som är bra.

Wollte diese papierschneidemaschine erst einmal nur testen aber ich muss sagen ich bin richtig begeistert. Sie steht sehr stabil, lasst sich leicht umklappen und verstauen und das schneiden ist auch toll. Sicherlich ist sie anfangs etwas schwerfällig beim schneiden aber da gewöhnt man sich dran. Und sie schneidet wirklich durch jeden Karton, Pappe, tonpapier etc. Für feines Papier würde ich sie eher nicht verwenden, da reicht auch meine andere klassische trim-Schneidemaschine oder hebelschneidemaschine. Diese hier ist wirklich eher für gröberes. Im übrigen kann sie wegen der Schwerfälligkeit auch mal haken, was unschöne Kanten macht. Aber das passiert nur wenn man sich zur Maschine hin falsch positioniert oder falsch abstützt. Somit kann dann eine Richtung ( von oben nach unten oder von unten nach oben schieben) schwieriger sein. Es hat eben viel mit der eigenen kraftverteilung zu tun. Ich z.B. habe bessere Resultate wenn ich von oben nach unten schneide, weil ich eher beim unteren Ende (und nicht seitlich oder so zur Maschine gerichtet) stehe. Ich find das Teil gut und werde es nun tatsächlich behalten.
