Although I was so pleased with the fast delivery.

Although I was so happy about the quick delivery, my joy was short-lived. I immediately saw that the markings on the ruler above didn't match the chart on the bed. I also noticed that the ruler appears to be made out of soft wood that will wear down over time. When I cut a 4 1/4" long sheet from a single sheet of 11" card stock, the cut widened at the bottom no matter how well I held it in place. I'm not new to papercutting, having been a retired teacher by trade and a card and paper maker by…

Pros
  • SECURITY FEATURES - A steel tension spring keeps the guillotine knife securely in place in any position. Blade locking hook secures hand when not in use. Security protection also helps to keep users safe.
Cons
  • Discontinued model

Amazing product. First, let me say that I started.

Amazing product. First, let me say that I began my college years working in two family stationery shops and continued to do so for over 9 years. I also managed the art department and did some shopping (before computers were used in offices). I worked for a guy who's been selling stationery since the '40s. Oh what pearls of wisdom he has taught me! I mention all this because brands were not monopolies 30 years ago. Swingline has always been a great company. I've used 42-inch guillotine cutters…

Pros
  • RUGGED CONSTRUCTION - The Ingento guillotine trimmer delivers reliable performance. Sturdy construction, solid maple base, die-cast metal handle and self-sharpening steel blade.
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Not as advertised

I've wanted a good quality guillotine paper cutter for a long time. Cutters in stationery stores seemed flimsy and not durable. The description and photos in the advert for this cutter made me think this was what I was looking for. It brings back memories of those who studied many years ago. However, when I received this cutter for $219, I was very disappointed. In many places the description says "solid maple base" and "adds earthy warmth to the workspace". Base - plywood, edges - veneer, see…

Pros
  • PRECISE CUT - Engineered for precision, with alignment grid for precision. Dual ruler scales with inch and centimeter markings help you measure whichever system you prefer.
Cons
  • A few small things
