CARL Professional Rotary Paper Cutter with Clear Window – 12" Trimmer with Metal Base, Magnetic Guide, Calibrated Extension – Precise Paper, Label, Photo & Craft Cutting Tool

Very sturdy, and well made. Easy to use and smooth. It has a little red line on the end of the plastic piece to easily see where your cut will be so that you don’t cut off something you don’t mean to. It’s a great purchase, and a wonderful upgrade to what I was using!

I'm not one to usually go out of my way to write reviews so the fact that I am for this cutter says something. I'm extremely picky when it comes to cutters and have tried all of them. I hate the swing cutters because they move your page and suck at being precise. I hate the Fiskars track cutters because the plastic bows and wobbles to make an uneven straight line if you press too hard. But this cutter is great. It has a hard solid edge so no wobbly lines and cuts fast. I'm usually cutting thick transparency paper which is like a plastic and this has no problem cutting through it. In the past I've also noticed a lot of my paper cutters take a couple passes to cut through the thicker paper and the blades dull quickly. This blade is made of whatever metal that it doesn't seem to be dulling anytime soon. It's also nice that the cutter has a storage area for extra replacement blades. Overall, it's worth the money and a good second to the very expensive Rotatrim paper cutters I used while in art school.

This cuts really well. I had other cutters and this is the best one for the price. Sometimes you need to go over it twice but it cuts without leaving things cut awkwardly.

This is the best paper cutter i have owned. Im not one to leave reviews (i should) but i LOVE this thing. I first bought a small one from a different seller where you slide the blade like this one but i would go through new little blades every 2-3 days and would sometimes tear my paper. I use it to cut thicker sublimation paper everyday and that other one did the job but i dreaded every time i had to get blades. I also had a different one where you cut down with the blade and came with a magnet to hold paper down. The magnet used to leave my paper dirty and i had to reprint quite a few designs. This one however has been a lifesaver. It saves me so much time from having to cut each design individually. It’s super precise. Hasn’t gotten my papers dirty since the thing that holds the paper down is plastic, but strong plastic. It is very safe as well. Its cut so much time down and honestly i would say its one of the best purchases i have made on Amazon that have been extremely useful. Will be purchasing new blades soon so i have them when the time comes. Thank you for this great product!

It can’t be used to cut smaller pieces of paper because the hand guard is so big. That was very frustrating. I also found it super difficult to line up the paper / figure out where the cut was going to be. The plastic neon piece made it impossible to see where the blade was going to cut. I found it hard to use because the slicer part doesn’t flip up like with other paper cutters. It has a small gap and you just slide paper underneath it. Then when you press down, it holds it in place, but I still slipped and cut crooked a couple times. I am going to go back to the cheap regular paper cutters.

I like the precision that this cutter offers. It’s great that you can get replacement blades for this. It looks like replacing the blades is pretty simple. And your lasagna in such a way that it’s very safe to use and you don’t get close to the blade to be cut. I’ve been very happy with it so far and it is a good purchase for me. I definitely would buy this again. It’s very easy to use.

It cuts evenly through paper but the precision leaves something to be desired. I’ve had it since November and while the blade still seems sharp, there is a definite difference from the angle at the top and bottom of the alignment tool. As others have mentioned, it is about 1° off, which might not be a problem for personal use but makes this a bad choice for professional use. I cut colored paper, presentations, and stationary. Consistently I have to go back with scissors to fix the issue. It is not priced well given this malfunction. The packaging was secure and the overall materials look high quality, but with the issue in alignment, I’d look elsewhere.

This is the best home/office paper cutter that I have ever used. I have used a lot of guillotine paper cutters, and they don't work as well as this paper cutter works. It makes nice, clean, straight cuts and the paper does not move while it's being cut. I make all kinds of labels with this paper cutter. The consumables, like the blades and the cutting mats are readily available. The cutter is made out of metal and is sturdy, it has a carrying handle which is very useful. I would buy it again in the future, if I ever had to.

Can’t make up my mind whether I really like this or not. It cuts relatively cleanly but can be harder to position some items due to just how much plastic is in the way. Don’t like so much how it cuts into the base piece underneath too but perhaps that’s needed. It was the best available in stock for the price in the UK though - cheaper rotary cutters don’t seem to exist anymore!

Das Handling des Schneiders wäre eigentlich gut gedacht mit Anschlag und ausziehbarer Verlängerung sowie Ersatzmesser-Angebot. Aber bei diesem Rollenschneider schneidet das Schneiderad nicht an einer Metallschiene entlang sondern AUF einer Schneidematte. Das bedeutet, dass man stärkeren Druck bei mehreren Blättern ausüben muss. Drückt man zu wenig, werden die unteren Blätter nicht geschnitten oder mitunter nur perforiert und man muss noch einmal schneiden. Die Befestigungschiene des Schneidrades ist nicht stabil genug eine seitliche Torsion aufzunehmen. Bei größerem Druck drückt man die Führungsschiene nach unten (gerade bei wenigen Blättern) und das Schneidmesser kippt um 1-2 mm nach außen, weil es auf der Matte läuft. Je nach Druck entsteht beim Schneiden ein leichter Bogen oder eine leichte Wellenlinie, aber keine gerade Schneidkante. 2 Sterne für ein gut angedachtes Konzept mit ungenügender Schneidleistung. Rollschneider ging leider zurück

corta como mantequilla los papeles de grosor de hasta 300 grs, buenisima!

Excellent trimmer. Used it for cutting A4 PVC labels. Replacement blades are a bit pricey. Overall build quality is good. Very happy product.

The Carl replacement disks shown as purchased together work, but are the wrong disks. Correct Pro disks have specialty plastic cases and only the cutter and perforator are available. Perforator is micro-perf and works very well. Scoring disks don't work because cutting board is not groved so crease-through is impossible. Have scoring machine so I can see a clear difference, probably why not available on Pro model. Visit Carl site for specifics. Good cutter, just match cutting disks and skip perf disk. Note: I cut a groove on 1 side of cutting mat with Dremel and scoring wheel works well on it. Mats are 4-edges each and replaceable so now unit is complete.
