Review: Solid, SHARP & Heavy! Be sure to read the instructions first before assembling. - Pretty straightforward to set up, but could be confusing upfront. Ditch the blue safety guard, who needs safety anyway? The blade is hefty, and the pressure bar is great for aligning paper on the board. So far it looks like the measurement indicators are pretty spot-on. Only a mm or two difference between cuts, but it can easily slice through extra thick stacks. For anyone setting it up for the first time, DO NOT UNSCREW ANYTHING before reading the instructions thoroughly. I unscrewed the black alignment bar from its track like a doofus, and then I had to take a good portion of the cutter apart in order to get the alignment bar back into its mounting bracket, which is held together with tension. If you unscrew it, the bracket will fall to the bottom of its track, and you will NOT be able to reattach it without taking the track apart. The adjustable alignment bar is hit or miss. I don't use it too often, as it feels a bit loose once it's tightened down. I just use the printed measurements and it's treated me well. One thing to be aware of is that the grid on the cutting board is for cm measurements, NOT inches. You need to align your cuts to the two rulers on the board instead of the grid. That might be a little confusing for newcomers. Overall though, the guillotine is fantastically sharp and has held its edge for the month I've had it. Hopefully it holds that edge for a good long while.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will it do well if I need to cut top left corner of the stack papers to remove staple from them**
A: Yes, easily! A word of caution, just beware, DO NOT cut the staple with the blade. I ignorantly did this myself and left a gouge in my blade which then scars every cut thereafter until it is sharpened out or replaced.

**Q: How many sheets does it cut at one time?**
A: Hello,The cutter is rated to cut 400 sheets at a time, this however will change depending on the weight of the paper. You can see videos on Youtube of it cutting through a entire phone book with ease.Sincerely,HFS

**Q: Can you actually SEE where the blade comes in contact with the paper or do you need to rely entirely on the grid?**
A: Yes, you can see where the blade contacts the paper. You have to push the handle down a bit to see where the blade will land on the paper. Once you get the hang of it it is possible to cut quite precisely. If you have crop marks on the paper being cut you can align to them and cut accurately. It is not perfect, but it is very good. The best way to align is to put in the paper, pull the handle down a bit to see where the blade will land, position the paper accordingly then tighten down the paper clamp so the paper can't move, check once more where the blade will land, then make the cut.

**Q: Does it come with a warranty?**
A: This is what was noted on the user manual that came with the cutter - "The limited-warranty period on our cutters is 1-year from Date of Purchase.  The warranty does not cover blades, feet, knobs, cutting sticks, safety pins, or customer negligence.  Shipping damage claims must be submitted within one week of received the product.  Returns are accepted within 30 days of date of purchase, no exceptions."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ over all not a bad paper cutter
*by D***A on November 23, 2025*

Overall a good paper cutter. But even though it sells as a 400 sheet capacity, I would not recommend cutting anything that thick. When cutting small length of paper it cuts with ease, but the thicker the stack and the longer it is, the more difficult it can be to cut and can be less accurate. Especially with card stock or index. Keep the stock height for card stock to .5 of inch or less. The movable cutting stop is challenging to set parallel to the blade. Even when the guide is parallel to the blade the fence is not at a 90% angle, it's slightly off. The movable guide is also not even. it's made of plastic and only claps at on end. And be careful when placing a stack of paper in, if one taps the guide too hard it will move. And recheck the guide after each cut, because it can move from the force of the cut, especially when cutting card stock or index. I've read complaints about the knob stripping out from over tightening, so it's a fine balance to apply enough pressure to hold it's position, especially when make multiply cuts the same size. I've used it long enough now that I needed to replace the cutting wick. That was interesting. You have to turn the cutter on it side. I can't image how difficult that would be on the larger size cutter (17'). It's very awkward to do. I have not needed to change the blade yet, I'll let you know how that goes later. The biggest disappointment is it's listed as a 12" cutter, that's only 12" in width not length. It should be 12" both ways. I purchased this cutter when my 18" 35 year old electric cuter, finally quit. A new one is several thousand dollars and I could not find a used one. My cutting needs were also less, but still needed to have something on hand. (self employed printer since 1997), so I opted for the 12" manual cutter rather than the 17" that they also sell. Given the price, I have to admit that over all it does the jobs I need for now, even though It requires many more cuts to get the job done. One more thing for safety, even though they have a plastic guide that covers the front of the blade, be carefully when removing paper from the cutter, the cutting edge of the blade is exposed and it is possible to nick your fingers, because that plastic guide moves up easily. So be mindful, the blade if very sharp.
