Review: Excellent paper cutter! - I was in dire need of a good paper cutting device I had two paper trimmers already, but was having to measure things out precisely, then do the cutting almost on a sheet by sheet basis. After purchasing this cutter, I was immediately relieved of my frustration of moving at such a slow pace. The only thing that didn't work out well for me with this cutter was that the only assembly required was putting a small little screw into the handle to keep it in place. The screw came already in the handle, it was just a matter of sliding the handle grip onto the handle and screwing it in place; the screw wouldn't come out the other end. I fought with it for about half an hour before rigging it McGuyver-style in order for me to have a handle on the cutter. It works great as if the screw had fit in perfectly. I know how to screw in a screw, and there was something either wrong with the screw or the hole, but it just didn't work. The blade is super sharp and works awesomely! I can't imagine what my project would've been like if I had bought this awesome cutter!
Review: This is a VALUE! - This paper cutter weighs less than a pound, stores easily in the smallest space and cuts beautifully. I highly recommend it. The price is right. Don't let the plastic scare you away. Working in the graphic arts field, I've used many different cutters., from Xacto knives to cumbersome Wood and steel cutters - this little dude is now an important member of the cadre of tools available at my desk. The Prime shipping program got it to me in TWO days with no shipping charge, That and the huge spectrum of merchandise available at desertcart - at value pricing - makes it my first "go to place" when a need arises.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The blade is dull on mine. Does anyone know where to get a replacement blade? I'd hate for this whole thing to go in the landfill.**
A: Carissa, I suggest you look on line for replacement blades and if that fails, contact the manufacturer. Office supply stores or places like Hobby Lobby might carry replacement blades if they stock the cutter. It may be, too, that you can get the original blade sharpened. Good luck!

**Q: Does the handle stay up when you life it?**
A: Yes, the handle of the X-Acto 12" Base Guillotine Paper Trimmer is supposed to stay up when you lift it.

**Q: Is there a way to get this to cut through corrugated cardboard, like Amazon boxes are made of, or would that be too thick for this?**
A: X-ACTO 12" Guillotine Paper Trimmer has the capacity to cut 10 sheets of paper in one slide. If the box is the same thick to this, they can cut those.

**Q: is it possible to cut cardboard with this?**
A: Yes it has a sharp blade that will cut through cardboard. Thanks!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Second try after similar product fail
*by W***R on November 17, 2024*

Tried another guillotine cutter from a vendor that delivered well before but not for the guillotine paper cutter. Got a refund for my first try and immediately searched for and found this one. I was looking for a relatively lightweight paper cutter with a smallish footprint, safety features and fairly low price tag. This one is working well for me. Like most guillotine cutters I have used in the past, it is best to put a little pressure on the handle in the direction of the table for a consistent true cut. This tends to be less of an issue with the very large heavy cutters. So it's a choice between weight and size and less attention to your cutting style. I prefer this cutter size and weight even if I have to pay a little more attention to how I handle the blade arm as I cut.
