Woodware Fingerguard Paper Trimmer 2 Blades

Excellent trimmer, beautifully designed with storage for the 3 extra trimming heads I also bought. Only light pressure required to depress the cutting head and cut either paper or card, important if you don't have full strength in your hands or arms. Easy to change the cutting heads and the arm claps the paper into position to stop movement. Delivery was several days early and items packed well, will use this supplier again. Thank you.

This is my 4th paper trimmer (not counting my Tonic guillotine for thicker cardstock) but for everyday paper and finer paper this is amazing. Clean smooth cuts even on tissue paper and decorated napkins it glides through everything, no rips, tears or fluffy edges.You need to do a few cuts to fine point zero as the blade will mark the removeable track, once you can see that measurements are spot on.

Pity it doesn't come with a spare plastic strip or 2 and a convenient space to store them.

This is the second trimmer I got because the first one (not this brand) did not make clean cuts. This one is just perfect! Clean cuts every single time. Definitely a good buy and worth the money.

This is the best cutter I've used and gives you a straight edge nearly all the time which compared to the others I've used is good enough. My one gripe, no guide line for precision cutting of patterned papers.

The only reason this has been awarded one star is because it has cut through 300gsm cardstock. It's flimsy, I'm sick of the cutting arm flapping in the breeze whenever I move the trimmer and it's warped beyond belief. It will not lay flat on the table for love nor money (except with blutack under each corner). As a result the cutting I have managed to do has been wonkier than a boxer's nose. It would be easier to balance a cup of tea on your head whilst on a wobble board than to try and get a successful, smooth cut with this. Absolutely not worth wasting the money. It'll shortly be gracing the rubbish bin

Having hand-trimmed my paper products for years, I had high hopes for this trimmer. I selected it based on Amazon and YouTube reviews. Unfortunately, while initially pleased, it has fallen short of my expectations and needs.The trimmer is easy to use, but I find that cutting or scoring does not produce the accuracy I achieved with my handmade efforts. For example, scoring inevitably produced a fold which was not exactly in the middle. Likewise, cutting seldom produced an exact, ninety degree cut. These shortcomings produced cards which, when folded over, had one side that failed to match/cover the other. This inaccuracy is not perhaps enough to reject the final product, but disappointing compared to those I made before. I sought advice from the suppliers on my problems, but as yet they have not replied.I continue to use the trimmer, valuing its cutting/scoring sliding mechanism, but, for accuracy, I first measure and mark the paper to help align the slider. This produces the accuracy I seek, but is not what I'd hoped for. Overall, I cannot recommend this trimmer.

Purchased this as a replacement for my Carl rotary trimmer that I have had for years, it started to cut wonky so time for a new one, this was half the price and seems to cut perfectly, hopefully having the metal cutting guide will mean it will also last me for years to come. Good product and price, also the scoring blade, although not sure if will score thicker card
