The lower price of this cutter is because of the one stabilizing bar as opposed to two. A bent bar would result in imprecise cutting. While it is natural/tempting to pick up the cutter by the bar it is not necessary -- and how and where you store it should resolve any problem. If others are going to use it, however, consider the more stable set-up, even though it is pricier.The cutter I purchased via Amazon is very precise and smooth. while they don't say so, the blade is self-sharpening and makes razor smooth cuts. However, it is difficult to see exactly where the cut is going to be. Drawback. I purchased a long under-cabinet battery powered light to place under the paper/picture/cardstock to be cut so that I can see exactly where the razor edge is going to land. Works very well.This cutter says it handles 10 sheets of paper at once. That is a severe overstatement. One piece fits tightly. That works well for my needs. However, if you want to do multiples, I recommend you purchase an upgraded model (i.e., more expensive) over this one.The help/guide ruler at the top is not exact to the nth degree, so don't trust that, if you butt your paper up against it and then cut that you will have a straight document. Pull it down and eyeball it on the grid lines. The black paper holder screws down to hold any paper where you want it. It doesn't help much when you cut at the lower end of the cutter which is nearest to the operator.All that said, it makes beautiful cuts and is fun to use. I think, if I had to do it over again, I would buy an upgrade. An extra 50$ would have been worth it.After years of procrastinating on buying a decent trimmer, I decided to purchase this Rotatrim model. I am a semi-pro photographer who needs a good trimmer for portraits, cards, and other miscellaneous tasks. I've been using a Carl trimmer, that you can find at big box stores. It was okay for small jobs, but I couldn't trim 13x19 sheets of paper. Also, the cutting band would wear out and cause unclean cuts unless it was replaced. This Rotatrim solves those problems. It is sturdy, and the cutting wheel runs along the side of a metal band. I can easily trim up to 5 sheets of photo paper or card stock. The cuts are extremely clean. You need to practice using this cutter, since there is no guide to show you where the cutting wheel contacts the page. This is only an issue when you are cutting to 'fit', regardless of dimensions. The cutting surface has 1/4" squares to help you get precise dimensions for your work. A transparent clamp strip keeps the item depressed during the cutting process. It can be easily removed for cleaning. A sliding guide can be screwed down to set a specific dimension for the cut. It can be slid out of the way or removed when you don't need it.I expect this to be the last trimmer I will buy, assuming my needs don't change. It is a bit pricey, but the quality is there. Highly recommended!Although this paper cutter is sturdy and well made, it doesn't perform well on more than one sheet of card stock at a time. The cutting edge of the cutter is covered in plastic which prevents user to see exactly where the blade will cut. It's a well made piece of equipment and works well for one piece of card stock at a time but there are others on the market I would consider. Must add that the service was very timely and product was in good condition, shipped well.Purchased for son to do photo work, loves it…even uses it as a paper shredderI've used this cutter to cut over 500 thin strips of paint protection film for my business and I have to say that I am very impressed with the accuracy of each cut.What an inconvenience when I found out this cutter does not include a stand like other brand which is a must. I really want to return it to buy a different brand at the same price which also comes with a stand but the package is too big and costs a lot of shipping charge. I look for a Rotatrim stand for my cutter, it is ridiculous that the price of the stand is more expensive than the cutter itself. Now I have to buy a table to make it a stand. Wish I knew this before ordering.Good, clean cutsWe shopped around a while before we purchased this particular rotary cutter. It was the best reviewed of any we found, and it hasn't disappointed. We purchased one for our library and one for our history center. It has been safer and has stayed sharper than the guillotine cutter we had before. It has a sturdy construction, cuts about 6 pieces of regular paper easily, and after a year of daily use, is still sharp and cutting well. We've been pleased with this purchase.
