Guillotine Trimmer 12"

Long time paper crafter here. I wanted to buy a guillotine paper trimmer this time around for my 12 inch paper and cardstock. I went with this model because We Are Memory Keepers has been around in the paper crafting world for a long time. So far I’ve been loving it! The blades are sharp. It’s easy for me to make my cuts and measure sizes accurately. It’s been functioning just as I need it to. It’s remarkably light which doesn’t bother me. It makes it easier for me to move it from its stash spot to my workspace. The only thing I would have liked to be different is how the handle/upper blade locks into place. You have to pull it slightly out to the right of the machine. I wonder if that will affect the closeness of the two blades over time?…. I would have preferred some sort of latch lock instead. But overall - loving it! Hope that helps!

So to start off, I am your typical do it your self, "at home" craft type of person. With that being said, I absolutely suck at cutting straight lines. Like to a point where I ruin pictures all the time because I end up cutting them 50 times before I get the lines straight. I am also very OCD. So this doesn't help that factor. So I decided to make my bf a scrapbook of a timeline of our relationship so far(he's into that mushy stuff). A few days in, I realized I suck and need a papercutter. I considered many other options. I also wanted something that I could throw in my bag and use for work too. I am a marketer and always am making cute things for the people I work with. This product came and literally I use it almost daily. It is small enough to fit perfectly in my drawer and light enough that I can take it anywhere with me. I cuts perfectly every time and the handle isn't heavy in the sense if you drop it too soon, it won't cut off what ever you are cutting. I can't say enough good things about this item. It holds an entire price of computer paper. It cuts through thick and thin, paper, cardstock, cards, photos. I haven't used to too much with multiple pages at once. It's quick and easy so I just don't find that I need to. I'm not sure if it would do well with multiple pages. But for what I use it for, it works great!

I initially bought a small Fiskars guillotine trimmer and quickly realized that they missed the boat on that trimmer, because it only went out to 5". You couldn't measure out 1/2 of a letter-size piece of paper. What an oversight! This We R Memory Keepers trimmer is much better designed. You can cut the 11" side of a letter-size paper perfectly in half so that you can make two A2 cards. I'm finding my cuts to be very straight and accurate. Yay!

This is an excellent trimmer, however, if you’re not careful you can break the guard. I like the guillotine style better the the slide cutters, and Incan cut 1/8” on this one.

Item is what I expected. Very Nice.

I wish I had bought this sooner! It is amazing! The precision cuts I can do now! It cuts so well too and is lightweight. I wish I hadn't waited so long. So much frustration could have been avoided. It will be a keeper tool for many years. Only thing I don't love is that it can be hard to cut smaller pieces of paper as the guard is think at the top, but I'm working around that just fine!

I was having issues with card stock from a famous craft store, fraying in my paper trimmer. I decided to try this cutter and it works amazing! No more frayed edges, just smooth, even cuts.

Good size for my space; small and sturdy enough for an accurate cut. I think max 5 or 6 pieces of paper at a time works best. Ordered a light purple lilac color, but this has more of a pink tone. I still like though, still nice.

とっても気に入っています。

La verdad si esperaba un poco más del material, es resistente pero si me decepciono un poco, en cuanto a su funcionamiento es funcional corta bien el papel, incluso gramaje de 300gr, las líneas ayudan mucho al momento de cortar, le quite el protector porque sentía que estorbaba, llevo varios meses usándola y esta en buen estado.

Veio partido em um lado, mas da para utilizar..

Je l'utilise depuis un moment quasi quotidiennement ! La lame est toujours aussi tranchante et la découpe est nette et propre ! je vous le recommande vivement !
