Not precise, but it'll do
By Aririn
I'll start by saying that I'm spoiled by those $25,000 electric cutters with digital displays as I used to work for a printshop. So using this manual stack cutter is a massive downgrade for me. I know I'm not supposed to compare the two, but I just can't help it. So bear with me. First, the good things. It does cut a stack of paper. That's about it. Now the bad. The measurement marking is not accurate, so naturally the sliding guide isn't accurate either. The side guide and the sliding guide are not exactly perpendicular. I'll just assume the side guide is straighter since the sliding guide has to constantly move. The clamp and the guillotine blade will sometimes shift the paper stack, so you'll have to be very very careful. In short, it takes a bit of practice to make this cutter usable without destroying your stuff. For cutting jobs that don't need to be extremely precise, this will do the job in a pinch.

better than I expected
By Kristin Rhodes
I needed a heavy duty cutter, but didn't have heavy duty funds for one.This was by far the best price. Joe had excellent customer service. He wrote personal emails to answer my questions and meet my needs, he even called me the day before Thanksgiving when I was freaking out.As far as the cutter goes, it is perfect, does exactly what I need it to, and better. I am so glad I got it. I can cut 210 page catalogs, and several packs of paper. It will help me with my business in many ways.Joe, you're the best!

By M. Holahan
I have recently started my own small print shop after many years working in bigger shops. I'm used to pretty nice, powerful cutters, but I can't afford that.I bought this because of the price and the need for a stack cutter. This will work for you but you have to be extremely fussy about how you set it up and how you load the paper. You must clamp it very tightly to minimize blade draw, (draw is the pulling of the paper out of the clamp, by the friction of the blade and it results in an uneven, crooked, cupped cut).To minimize the draw, you have to cut very small lifts of no more than ½ inch. The clamp is strongest in the center, so you might want to cut in the center whenever possible.Considering what a 'real' paper cutter sells for and the space it takes up, this is a convenient compromise.It takes some practice to overcome it's shortcomings, but for the price, sometimes that's what you have to do. It definitely isn't a set it up and cut away type of machine. You'll have to work at it.I think it is worth the money and seems fairly well made.If you're first job to cut needs to be precise, you'll want to practice on some junk stock. Not the cutting, that's easy to figure out, but how you need to load the paper, how to get it to cut where you need it to cut, and how tightly you need to clamp the paper.If you don't practice, I can almost guarantee you you'll mess your first job up.
