Review on ✂️ Swingline SmartCut 9615: Heavy Duty Rotary Paper Cutter with 15" Cut Length, Commercial-Grade Performance, Cuts 30 Sheets by Carla Anderson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cuts very well but the ruler seems to be off by 1/8 inch or so.

Reviewed Rating: ** * (3 stars) PROS* Cuts cleanly (I've printed up to 20 pages of card stock)* Sturdy construction MINUS* Cuts straight most of the time. he seems to be holding on. I measure the paper after pressing it down (because the clamp might displace the paper a bit), but even with the paper still in place, the cut can come out crooked.* The ruler is around 1/8" or so. This is combined with "not cutting in a straight line" which means it is difficult to get accurate cuts. I called the company and they said the ruler was not *designed* to measure the distance to measure to cut. I think the customer service representative was in uniform or smoking crack. I've never owned one of these rotary cutters so maybe they're not very accurate. This cutter cuts well (I cleanly cut up to 20 pages of cardstock). 8 "or so. It's noticeable when I cut out postcards. There's also no marker to show exactly where you're going to cut. I originally gave 2 stars because I couldn't get accurate cuts with it. But with practice, I get Ra cuts that differ by only about 1/8". I've never used this type of cutter, so I might be doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what
