CarlManufacturing USA Slim 17" Carl Paper Trimmer, 12" Length, 45 Sheet Cutting capacaity, Heavy Duty, DC-F5300 (CUI25100), Silver/Black

The lines are not lined up perfectly on the foldable side. If you are doing large project that needs the lines and measurements that far, I recommend the other style that does not fold

Very nice cutter. Needs to store blades and cutting pads better. It it does not come with an extra blade or cutting mat. I had to tape the blade storage compartment to the bottom of the cutting board because it did not clip in securely like the user manual said it would. The green clamp does not press down evenly. about an inch on one side of it is still raised by 1/8 inch after clamping it down. All in all I love this cutter and I would by it again in a heart beat.

Trimmer is perfect for my needs. It trims really well, easy to operate and love that it folds so it is easy to store out of the way. My only criticism which doesn't affect me but I can see how it would easily affect others, the hinge is slightly off from the paper guide. If your paper goes past the hinge, it can ever so slightly shift the paper out from the guide and cause an off center cut. That's be a pretty big deal but it doesn't affect my use of the trimmer.

I am a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, and I needed a heavy duty cutter so I could cut quite a bit of card stock at once. I was able to cut 5 pieces at once with my other cutter. I can do so with this cutter as well however, I have to lift the bar, lock it down, which really slows down my process. The biggest disappointment for me is that the marks on the cutter are not helpful for cutting standard card sizes, and there are no grid lines running the length of the cutter that help me to make sure I am cutting straight.For a cutter that came so highly recommended, I am actually quite disappointed.

This device will not cut accurate measurements. It is off by about 1/8 inch. Another review said that it wouldn't cut accurate measurements after the hinge, but I thought it was a fluke on her device. I also wasn't going to be cutting past the hinge, so I went ahead and tried it. In addition to cutting wrong measurements the description says it will cut 45 sheets of paper, which is around 15 sheets of cardstock at a time. It won't begin to cut that many. I tried 4 sheets of card stock and it would only cut 1-2 sheets of card stock at a time. My friend who has owned a CARL cutter for over 10 years and uses it all the time for paper crafting had recommened CARL cutters. She tried mine and said it is defective and send it back. I tried and they want to see a photo of the defect on the device. How is that even possible for these issues? They also want a photo of the packaging to prove it. That doesn't prove it so I am out my money.

The best thing about this cutter is that it locks down the paper. This is done with a small lever type mechanism. Then you just cut. With other types you have to press down AND cut. This makes for uneven cuts. This unit doesn't do that and works great.

Acabo de abrir mi rotary trimmer. Venía quebrado pero un poco de pegamento lo arreglará. Ya no hay de esa medida así que no lo devolveré. Muy útil

If you want to cut thick stacks of paper, about 30-40 sheets thick, then this is the ticket. You have to move the cutter back and forth a few times, but there is a plastic piece which presses down on the paper to keep it in place, so the cuts are all even.

Hands down the best paper trimmer I've used. The premium price is well worth it. Not only can it cut many sheets at once but the fluro yellow guidelines hold down the paper making it easy to perform ultra precise cuts.
