Customer Reviews for 12" Width Manual Stack Paper Trimmer A4 Paper Cutter W/ Clamp & Safe Lock

FANTASTIC paper cutter! I gave mine away to a friend and will DEFINITELY be buying another soon!

Bought thermal binding glue strips for binding my own paperback volumes. My books are only about 40/50 pages, so it only takes 1/4 of one of these strips (cut long-ways with a utility knife) to bind a book. In fact, they are a tiny bit longer than my books are tall, so I can put together the ends I trim off to make a 5th book out of a single strip. That ends up being about $0.20/book for glue. Not bad!I am using 11x17 cover stock parchment (printed on an Epson WF7610) to print the covers, and a Fellowes thermal binder to bind them. Don't make the mistake of trying to print covers for an 8x10 book on a smaller printer, and make sure the printer can print on thick stock. Make sure the glue strips don't leak out the ends of the book spine, or it will mess up your thermal binder. I use the top of a butter knife (you can buy a folding bone if you want to spend money) to score the edges of the spine to get a sharp, straight edge. Finally, use a stack paper cutter to trim the edges of the books so they have that clean-cut, professional look.

This is a monster! i love it!

I've been using this regularly for approximately a year to cut up to 100 pages at a time. It does a great job. blade is staying sharp, I haven't had any trouble with an dirt or greast. the length guide is very easy to adjust and stays put. Well worth the money to get perfect cuts in heavy stock or multiple pages..

I purchased this after reading some of the reviews. I produce training manuals which are between 160 & 220 pages and needed something inexpensive to produce a clean cut. This item fits that bill perfectly. It comes with no setup instructions, but quite frankly it didn't require any. All you need to do is put on the guillotine handle and reverse the clamp arm and you are ready to go.The pull down handle comes with a safety mechanism built in, so once you put it back in the upright position, you won't be able to cut unless you press the safety release.So how does it cut? Clean. And without much effort. There are markings (in 1/16" and mm) on its deck that allow for precise lining up of your material and there is an adjustable thingy which can be firmly set in place at any of these markings. If you search youtube for "stack s12 paper cutter demo" the machine looks exactly like this except for the STACK logo and works in the same fashion with the same minimal effort. One of the other reviewers mentioned this and it was this video that convinced me to purchase.The only issue that I have is that I needed to put some item in-between the clamp and my book so as to not leave clamp marks on the cover. I eventually ended up using a sheet of styrofoam to do the trick.Set aside a 3' x 2' workspace which can take a 40lb weight and lots of arm cranking and you are ready to go!

This paper cutter is great for graphic designers that need to cut hundreds of invites per week! I did not give it 5 stars though because if you try to cut too many sheets at a time (over 75-100) then it doesn't clamp down as good and and the cut is slightly crooked. Since I want my invites to be close to perfect for my customer, I tend to only cut 50 sheets or less at a time. It still saves tons of time after I have everything lined up though! Great paper cutter overall.

I have been looking for an affordable stack cutter for a while for some hobby bookbinding. I decided to give this one a try, and I am very pleased. The plastic handle cover was broken when I received it, but I just hot-glued it back on. It works without the handle cover, anyway. Also, like another reviewer said, the blade is a bit greasy, so I would recommend covering your good paper with a piece of junk paper on top before you cut it, just so the junk paper gets the grease stain. It is about 35 pounds, so it is not very portable, but it is light enough that I can tuck it away when I am not using it.I really am happy I bought this.

The cutter is of excellent quality. Two things are lacking - the grid measurements are metric, with only a minor acknowledgement of "inch", and there is not a useful manual. It would be helpful to have some safety instructions and a diagram of blade replacement. I would like to know know if there are any adjustments for the blade angle. Since I am familiar with large power cutters, it is not a problem for me, but most people need more information.

This product delivers. I love the way the paper can be set and aligned to cut with precision. I made around 30 wallet size calendars and needed a machine that can cut many pages at once and this one does what it promises. I would recommend this product 100%.

I had 1200 30lb. paper sheet to cut into half. After thorough search of cutters I picked this one to fit my need with reasonable price tag. I used it cutting around 150 sheets at a time with no problems. It heavy duty and will last for years. The plastic cover for the blade was cracked. Contacted the seller responded promptly asking for a picture of the broken piece which I did. I received a replacement after one week no fuss. The blade was clean no grease. Highly recommended product.
