Fiskars scrapbooking paper trimmer with swing-out arm, 12 inches

This is a very beautiful and useful item. Crafters all need a paper cutter. But this thing is just so pretty as well. The blue print is beautiful. The blades are replaceable. So I’ll be using this thing for 20 years, I’m sure. I bought it to replace my provocraft cutter and scorer. But I discovered there are Fiskars blades that fit my provocraft cutter so now I’ve got 2 paper cutters which is even better!

The Fiskar brand has always been associated with quality, and this product is no exception. I like to print out custom covers for my video games on Glossy paper, and this tool does just the job needed for this task. The trimmer is very lightweight and portable, and comes with one extra orange slider blade. The blue guide ruler is accurate, and if lined up properly with the paper, ensures a clean, straight cut every time! This is not for large jobs, but will handle standard 8.5" x 11" paper or smaller with no problems. I have used standard paper, as well as glossy and semi gloss all with wonderful results. I have made approximately 100 cuts so far, and the blade still seems very sharp. Overall I would definitely recommend the Fiskars scrapbooking paper trimmer for any small, quick cutting that requires accurate results.

So sleek her skin, so faultless was her make.--Dryden. I love the glossy aluminum plate with accurate and crisp measurements. This cutter is very thin and compact. Maximum single cut is just over 12" (about 31 cm) and the fold-out rule will allow you to cut lengths of material up to 15 3/4" or 40 cm. Material may be trimmed with reasonable accuracy to 1/16th of an inch or 1 mm for metric. At first glance this unit looks flimsy; the surprising rigidity comes from the raised plastic ribbing on the back and the generously thick metal plate mentioned above. I was able to cut up to 4 sheets of standard printer paper with a single pass and up to 6 sheets with two runs of the blade with moderate force. If you need to cut any more than that amount, I'd suggest a rotary cutter, but this is perfect for trimming pictures or just a few sheets. This cutter has 4 rubber feet to secure it to a work surface. The blade is just a sliver of sharp metal protruding from a piece of plastic that runs along the cutting path. Compared to rotary cutter blades, these replacement blades are expensive ($8.21 for two, at time of review), but I find that the added accuracy, the sleek design and portability of this trimmer is well worth that reasonable cost for consumables. I am picky about the design of plastic products with an emphasis on how easy they are to clean. If I had to mention anything negative about this cutter, it would be the placement of the rubber feet on the bottom; they are positioned exactly at the corner on the bottom, not allowing the plastic ridge surrounding them to be cleaned thoroughly. Little things like this bug me, because this design flaw is so easily avoided by mounting the feet about a cm away from the edge with no discernable loss of stability or function. I hope you find this review helpful.

This is a very good papercutter. It has a very solid base to itand doesn't flex like other brands I have tried. It makes very straight cuts.I use this with the heaviest card stock I can find. 110pd index card stock.It does come with a replacement blade, but I wondered about replacement after that.So I went to [...] and found a replacement blade called "TripleTrack"Replacement blades. cost $5.50 + shipping $9.90 OUCH!! However they did work.I wish someone would of had them on Amazon. I would have saved $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

I've had one of these trimmers for about 4 years. I'm still using the first blade, so if it ever gets dull I still have the replacement blade that came with the package. Only problem I can think of is storing this thing -- I cut the plastic blister pack in a way that I can put the paper trimmer back in the original package for storage. It's ugly, but it works, and it keeps the instructions and the extra blade together with the trimmer, and keeps the dust away. It's safe and easy to use; I suppose you could cut yourself if you really tried, so don't try.When I needed several small photos of students in a class, I used Adobe Photoshop Elements to merge them all into two 8x10 sheets. Then I had those 8x10's printed for a couple of dollars, and cut them all apart to wallet-size photos, using my Fiskars trimmer.

Excellent trimmer

Yes, the paper cutter cuts. Does it cut well? No.I use this for trimming pictures on photo paper.The little groove where the blade goes when cutting gets clogged with paper residue and makes it hard for the blade to slide. This makes for horrible, jagged-looking paper edges.This is the fourth paper cutter I own and definitely the worst one. Good thing it was cheap because I'll be pitching it soon.

I got this as a cheap way to get straight cuts for scrapbooking and other projects. It has a nice sharp blade, cuts smoothly, and makes measuring easy. Replacing the blade is very simple. I don't know how much abuse it will take because it seems like the arms might break under my typical use (dropping it), but so far so good.

rien à dire, pour le prix il rempli parfaitement son office, il est assez précis et semble robuste, la règle graduée escamotable est bien pratique, l'engin supportant la hauteur d'un A4 en coupe on peux débiter des A3 en paysage sans problème.

Ich hatte zuerst einen Rollenschneider der Firma Accucut gekauft gehabt, musste aber leider feststellen, dass je nach Druckausübung die Schnitte nicht gerade wurden.Da es bei mir mit der Gestaltung von Karten und Boxen schnell gehen soll war der also nichts. Die Fiskars Schneidemaschine habe ich von einer Freundin empfohlen bekommen. Lieferung per Amazon wie immer perfekt.Nach knapp 2 Monaten muss ich sagen, dass der Kauf sich gelohnt hat. Das Gerät ist sehr leicht und steht stabil auf dem Tisch (kann aber auch, wenns wirklich schnell gehen muss, auf den Knien balancirt werden :) )Die Schnitte sind sauber und fransen nicht aus. Die Klinge ist sehr klein, aber bisher absolut zuverlässig, auch bei 300g schweren Fotokarton. Ich habe dennoch direkt ein Paket mit Schneide- und Falzklinge mitbestellt.Perfekt ist der "Verlängerungsarm" zum Ausklappen. Dieser ist entgegen meiner Erwartungen sehr stabil und misst sowohl inch als auch cm. Also, eine klare Kaufempfehlung. Zudem habe ich diese Maschine bis dato nirgends im Internet günstiger finden können.

This is the best paper trimmer on the market, in my opinion. I am a paper craft tutor, and have now bought around 12 of these, for different students, after they've used mine, and see how simple it is to use. It is accurate, the blades last for ages, especially if you turn them round...I have a tendency to cut in one direction, this prolongs their life. I have large and small guillotines, and various other cutters, this is the only one we have found to be easy to use and accurate, as well as light weight for carrying to classes. It is primarily a paper trimmer, unsure of its durability cutting other products like thin metal etc, although I have cut thin rigid plastic easily.

Fiskars nearly always comes up trumps. Handy for crafting on the move. Light and slim.

il n'y a rien à redire sur la marque fiskars , et je m'aperçois que j'aurai du commander des lames lors de ma commande de noel,ce sera pour une autre fois!
