Westcott TrimAir Guillotine Paper Cutter, Paper Trimmer with Sharp and Durable Titanium-Bonded Blade, Maximum Safety Features, 18-Inch, Back to School, School Supplies, Classroom

Very sharp, great quality , great price

We just received ours. When I asked Rufus about certain materials, the reply was that it does not cut picture framing mat material, but indeed it does. I removed the guard and it did a clean cut, easy peasy. As a test, I doubled the mat material and it did cut, just not quite as clean of an edge. I also tried cardboard box and that was also a nice clean cut. The blade is so sharp and so steady, we might try slicing steak carpaccio on a nice, not quite frozen, piece of beef.

I organize a retreat where I need to make up pocket size agenda cards so that all of the cats are properly herded. After sitting at a table for hours cutting hundreds of these cards up with scissors, I decided a paper cutter was needed.Well... this thing is solid and it cuts super clean. It is overengineered for what I am doing.But... my gosh it is sharp. I have had it for over a year and cut hundreds or thousands of these agenda cards and the thing is as sharp as the day I bought it. It will draw blood if you just casually hit your hand on the blade... and it is that kind of cut that just keeps on bleeding forever! So... be careful around this thing! Guillotine is a good word for it.

Works well and is sharp but the hand guard was installed 1/16” off square and throws a visual curve ball at you. The backstop of the frame has a small gap near the blade and it is easy to unknowingly slip the corner of the paper a bit under it and get a cut that is ever so slightly out of square. I guess what do you expect for 50 bucks?

Excellent quality! Very good for office or school!

Let me preface this by saying I have used paper cutters for over 25 years. My last paper cutter was a cheap plastic one that lasted me over 15 years. I was trying to replace that one with this one, but read on to see what a waste of time and money that was....At first, I thought it was user-error on my part. I use a paper trimmer to cut product labels for my business and I need the labels to be straight. When I finally figured out that it's the BLADE that is crooked, my Amazon return window had passed by two weeks, so I contacted the company directly - but NOT the one listed on Amazon! The website link for the company page on Amazon took me to a completely different company that sells lighting and camera supplies, so I had to do a google search to find the actual company!After contacting the company, they sent me an "upgraded" paper trimmer.The new trimmer had the SAME faulty blade (see pictures)! It bows out in the middle and doesn't cut in a straight line! Not only that, but the measurement lines were incorrect and so when I lined up my paper by the lines on the board, it was cutting one edge too long and the other was too short!So I contacted the company again. I let them know that either their design or manufacturing is faulty, sent them pictures and explained what was going on. I basically got an apology email back saying that they don't have another option for me. I replied to see if I could get a refund and they completely ghosted me. My last email to them was in April 2023 and I haven't heard back from them since. At the time I'm posting this review, it is now August 2023.Do yourself a huge favor and do not buy this! My cheap, plastic trimmer that I've had for over 15 years (and was trying to replace) cuts better than this...and in a straight line!So now I'm out over $60 (because I bought it when it was more $ than it is now) and I have TWO trimmers that I can't use taking up space in my apartment. Not to mention the time, the mental energy and the money lost on the labels that I had to discard because they were crooked. This is ridiculous.

Finally a cutter that actually cuts, unlike the Carl rolling blade cutter it replaces. I'll probably end up giving that one away.My only quibble with the Westcott is that it's hard to tell exactly where the cut is going to be.

Worked pretty good for cutting alfalfa flakes in half 😂 probably work even better for hay

I've used a few times and it cuts well.Used to cut 12mil magnetic sheet.

everything was great. but the blade is already blunt after daily use for 2 weeks. so i am unable to say that it is value for money. i suppose it can still be useful for light use. but for me, i have already wasted a lot of paper for my stacked cuts. i need to get another to replace this.
