"Big results from a small product"

I have a home-based design and desktop publishing business. I create many designs. I use lots of paper. This little product helps make my designs and finished product look like factory work.
Clean sharp edges, even decorative edges. I love it. It is so lightweight that I put it next to me on top of my desk drawer and cut right there. I take it with me and sit out side to cut designs. Thank you this is very very nice.
Only one con: I did not receive the color that I thought I was getting. I wanted the pink one.

Within 10 minutes of taking this product out of its box, I wrapped it back up, put it back in the box, and am returning it to the store. This product was terribly disappointing. First, it does not make a straight cut (which alone is unacceptable), and a few of the passes I took did not cut any paper at all. The scoring blade does not actually score the paper, and though the product says that you can cut/score a number of pages at a time, I don't see how that can be true. Again, there were a few passes I took with the trimmer that failed to cut anything (despite pressing down on the blade, which is required). I also found the measuring guides to be insufficient; there was nothing to hold the paper in place; and it would be very difficult to make small precision cuts. Overall, there is really nothing I liked about this product. I would recommend steering clear of it altogether, and I would even recommend that Staples remove the product from its inventory. It is useless.

Cuts Only 5 Pages Well

Comments about Swingline® SmartCut� 12" Dial-A-Blade� Rotary Paper Trimmer, 10 Sheet Capacity, Gray:

We have had this cutter for more than 4 years. Only now is the straight blade getting a little dull. I never try to cut more than 5 pages at a time - fewer if using card stock. That only makes sense as holding down multiple pages gets harder the more there are, so I have never tried to cut 10 sheets at once. I LIKE that I have to press the blade down because I know it is engaging and working. I always hold down my work with my left hand and do not release my hand until I remove the cut portion and make sure it is cut. That way if it has not cut all the way through I can simply run the blade backwards up the trimmer edge. This has only happened a few times. I use the printed inch guidelines almost every cut. They are invaluable for knowing where to position paper to cut a sheet exactly in half or quarters. I find the scoring, perforating and wavy blades work as promised and I do use them often. I really like that the blades change with just a quick turn of the cartridge and I don't have to handle the blades and switch them in and out. I think this was a good value for our money four years ago, but I cannot speak for ones currently being manufactured. Am considering buying another one for increased production of projects so someone can be working with me.

Comments about Swingline® SmartCut� 12" Dial-A-Blade� Rotary Paper Trimmer, 10 Sheet Capacity, Gray:

I was really excited about getting this trimmer to use for scrapbooking. It arrived about 30 minutes ago..I opened it up..tried it several times..and was VERY disappointed. Does not cut even 5 sheets of paper. You need to run the blade over the paper several times for it to cut and then it does not cut all the way through. [...] Don't waste your money or your time!

I score and cut custom note cards at the rate of 20-30 per week. The Smart Cut 12" is just about perfect for my needs.
