That being said, if one were considering hanging the cutter, it would be advisable to make sure the devices used to hang were mounted very securely into studs. Hope this helps. **Q: I want to purchase this cutter to cut canvas from my epson printer. Can it do that?** A: I have an Epson P5000 and print canvas. I recommend buying a good pair of shears, like these that I have: Gingher 8-Inch Knife Edge Dressmaker's Shears. You can print cut lines if necessary. **Q: Do both axis have metric and imperial measurements on them?** A: Yes, Both X and Y axes have imperial and metric scales **Q: will this cut laminated (5mm film) cardstock?** A: Hopefully your laminate is "5 mil", which is .005" thick (a "mil" is a thousandth of an inch) rather than 5mm. I have cut menus laminated with 5 mil hot laminate on this cutter. It works very well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good paper/card trimmer that is both safe and easy to use. *by S***U on 19 September 2025* This was a used product from Amazon and very pleased as it is like new. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid item *by M***D on 15 June 2025* Just recently purchased the Canon Pro-10S printer so I can print my own A4/A3 photos for competitions, this guillotine is very sturdy, heavy and the blade is sharp, this was purchased from the resale and am very happy with it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rotary Trimmer *by D***R on 14 June 2025* Does the job as expected. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dahle 554 Professional Rotary Trimmer, 28" Cut Length, 20 Sheet Capacity, Self-Sharpening, Dual Guide Bar, Automatic Clamp, German Engineered Paper Cutter - WORKLION 24" x 36" Large Self Healing PVC Cutting Mat, Double Sided, Gridded Rotary Cutting Board for Craft, Fabric, Quilting, Sewing, Scrapbooking - Art Project… --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/207509532-554-professional-a2-self-sharpening-paper-trimmer-dual-guide-bar](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/207509532-554-professional-a2-self-sharpening-paper-trimmer-dual-guide-bar) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
