CARL Professional Rotary Paper Cutter with Clear Window – 12" Trimmer with Metal Base, Magnetic Guide, Calibrated Extension – Precise Paper, Label, Photo & Craft Cutting Tool

Buy one for home and you’ll have it for years. This is the second one I’ve had in the last 30 years, and this one will last another 30 years. It’s a very adorable and cuts perfectly. It’s solidly made, and not cheap plastic or anything like that. I like that you can put the paper very easily on the bed and see exactly how it’s lining up. It also has a wonderful clear part where the rotary cutter goes so you can see exactly where you’re cutting. The clear window means no mistakes. This is not even close to the Fiskars version. The cuts are sharp, and I can’t say enough about having that clear window to show exactly what is being cut.

This is the best home/office paper cutter that I have ever used. I have used a lot of guillotine paper cutters, and they don't work as well as this paper cutter works. It makes nice, clean, straight cuts and the paper does not move while it's being cut. I make all kinds of labels with this paper cutter. The consumables, like the blades and the cutting mats are readily available. The cutter is made out of metal and is sturdy, it has a carrying handle which is very useful. I would buy it again in the future, if I ever had to.

For the most part, this is a pretty good paper cutter, though not perfect. I like that is is large and will handle all of the size paper I use. I also like that it uses a rotary blade and you can purchase additional blades for replacement or specialty purposes. It also has a magnetic piece you can use to set stops for repeated cuts of the same size. It also has a small add on part that can be used along with the magnet to set repeat cuts for smaller items.Now for the issues I have. It has a fixed guide rail that can't be raised. This probably makes the cutter a bit more sturdy but also makes it a bit harder to align. Also, in my use, the blade does not always cut to the end of the line. As I have only used this for a short time so far, it may be that I need to get better on my part. The add on guide is nice but only works if you have a flat, solid desk. I often do cuts on my lap, and the guide would just fall off if I tried it.The fixed guide does not warrant a star loss, so if I can improve my cutting skills, I will revise to a five star rating.

So far I've tried 3 different paper cutters, and each one was off by a few mm making them useless for my needs. This one is very precise and does a fantastic job holding the paper still while it cuts. Very happy with this.

This is the best paper cutter i have owned. Im not one to leave reviews (i should) but i LOVE this thing. I first bought a small one from a different seller where you slide the blade like this one but i would go through new little blades every 2-3 days and would sometimes tear my paper.I use it to cut thicker sublimation paper everyday and that other one did the job but i dreaded every time i had to get blades. I also had a different one where you cut down with the blade and came with a magnet to hold paper down. The magnet used to leave my paper dirty and i had to reprint quite a few designs.This one however has been a lifesaver. It saves me so much time from having to cut each design individually. It’s super precise. Hasn’t gotten my papers dirty since the thing that holds the paper down is plastic, but strong plastic. It is very safe as well. Its cut so much time down and honestly i would say its one of the best purchases i have made on Amazon that have been extremely useful. Will be purchasing new blades soon so i have them when the time comes.Thank you for this great product!

It can’t be used to cut smaller pieces of paper because the hand guard is so big. That was very frustrating. I also found it super difficult to line up the paper / figure out where the cut was going to be. The plastic neon piece made it impossible to see where the blade was going to cut.I found it hard to use because the slicer part doesn’t flip up like with other paper cutters. It has a small gap and you just slide paper underneath it. Then when you press down, it holds it in place, but I still slipped and cut crooked a couple times. I am going to go back to the cheap regular paper cutters.

The media could not be loaded. I like the precision that this cutter offers. It’s great that you can get replacement blades for this. It looks like replacing the blades is pretty simple. And your lasagna in such a way that it’s very safe to use and you don’t get close to the blade to be cut. I’ve been very happy with it so far and it is a good purchase for me. I definitely would buy this again. It’s very easy to use.
