SwordfishEdge 450' A3 10 Sheet Rotary Paper Trimmer/Guillotine Ref: 42014x

Bought to replace the dysfunctional Ryman A4 12 sheet guillotine. This is MUCH better. Well made, smooth cut, easy sliding operation and you can see what you your cutting line. The only slight gripe is that you have to use finger tips to press on the pressure guard to avoid catching your hand on the top of the slicer but this is easily done. A very good, well made product at a competitive price. Recommended for moderate to light use. I tend to limit it to about 8 sheets of 80 gsm and it does fine with that and can happily slice a single laminated sheet as well. It's not commercial strength - and not commercial guillotine price either. For home or irregular home office use though, it's just right.

Arrived quickly and seems to work well - only used it a little bit so far and am happy with the quality of cutting. Lighter than i expected, which initially made me think it was a bit cheaply made, but seems well put together. Usage and the test of time will tell but happy so far.

Excellent and accurate paper slicer. Bought to have in my classroom as I was sick of using the useless one at school and any time saved in a morning is precious. Easy to use and cutting edge is accurate. Does struggle as you approach the suggested limit of 10 sheets so I tend to stick to 7-8 to stop the blade popping off.

The trimmer is light and easy to use. It was bought to replace one on which the plastic ruler which holds down the paper, had broken. In this day and age when we are urged to re- use and mend things, it was annoying to have to buy a complete new trimmer for the sake of one piece of broken clear plastic. The new trimmer is much the same as the old one, but the plastic ruler is flimsy and will undoubtedly be the first thing that breaks. However, it does the job well enough as long as paper is cut one piece at a time.

I bought this for my college-age daughter, fed up with my little A4 cutter disappearing from my cupboard all the time!It's very impressive when cutting just one piece of paper.The problem comes when using to cut a few pieces of paper at a time; overestimate just once as to its capacity and the purple plastic head (the bit you move) is not man enough. It will become worn, and because of the strength of the spring holding the cutting wheel against the blade (I'm getting technical here!) the purple head will no longer run true down the metal rail. The cutter will still work, but it starts to make a bit of a scraping noise.I have the impression that it was specified to meet the needs of the greatest number of users, and priced at an optimum price to make maximum profit. But it's not a super bit of kit.You might do better to go to your local stationery shop and get whatever they have out of the box before you buy.

This paper cutter is fantastic. I purchased mine on the 3rd February 2014 and I'm just about to order another one as it has just given up on me. But that was being used almost daily for work and I also made our whole wedding stationery using this (lots of thick card, glitter card etc) and it was just wonderful! I bought a cheaper one yesterday which I have just used and it is awful. It failed to cut through one sheet of normal paper - hence why I'm now here to grab another one of these super machines 😊

Not quite as long and sturdy as we had expected, but seems to be doing the job ok. What I like about it is that, unlike our old one, there is a handy release mechanism that allows you to get at the cutting blade.

I use this a lot and it is still sharp and precise. Size is great as it is easy to store. Competitive price.
