Of course I am used to using "real" rotary trimmers (in the $200+ range). The problem with all of these economy trimmers is the use of a mat to cut against. As the paper is sheared by the blade, it is crushed into the mat causing frayed/tathered edges. This will do OK for very casual use, but for high quality clean professional results look for a true professional trimmer (Rotatrim to name one). Bottom line: I'll keep it and use ocassionally as a good trimmer is currently out of my price range, but honestly for a cleaner cut in this price range, you are better off with a conventional (lever arm) paper cutter.

Comments about Carl� 12" Professional Rotary Paper Trimmer, 15 Sheet Capacity, Gray/Blue: This unit is amazing. You can purchase 8 1/2 x 11 paper for your pictures you print at home and save money. You will print 3-up (4 x 6 sz pictures) and use this unit to cut them apart. I suggest only doing 2 - 3 sheets at a time because more than that and the picture paper may slide a little bit and your cut will be crooked.

Comments about Carl� 12" Professional Rotary Paper Trimmer, 15 Sheet Capacity, Gray/Blue: Needed a great cutter at a decent price- my prior one gave out on me at the last minute on a big project. For [$] this one cuts several sheets of card stock nice and neat, is sturdy (not cheap plastic like other cutters), and has easy to read measuring guides.

Comments about Carl� 12" Professional Rotary Paper Trimmer, 15 Sheet Capacity, Gray/Blue: I love this rotary cutter. It's durable, easy to read the measurements, easy to cut. But it's most useful if you purchase the extra blades which are not as cheap nor as diverse as I'd hoped. I'd like more than just the few decorative edge blades than are currently offered.
