Review: Cuts smooth as butter, but precision and grease problems - This thing cuts through thick stacks of paper, and even entire bound books, like a hot knife through butter. But almost nothing I cut seems to turn out the right size, even when I carefully makes sure that the measurement bar lines up properly with the printed-on grid. Everything seems to either be an eighth of an inch too long or an eighth of an inch too short. Then there is the grease problem. Even after a month, it still leaves grease on everything. I need to wipe it down before use and place scrap paper on the top and bottom of my cutting pile to avoid getting grease on important items. *UPDATE* - removed 1 star; gave up on it after 6 months Adjusting this cutter turned out to be too much hassle. It took me several weeks to finally get it to work the way I wanted, only to realize about two months later that the measurements had somehow slowly drifted off by about a millimeter and that the cuts were no longer straight. Also, no matter how hard I tried to press down the paper with the adjusted lever/bar thing, it kept shifting when I pressed down the cutter, leading the crumpling at the top of my paper. The red safety knob also fell off at least once every 8 cuts, and one time when it fell off the little spring in it finally got lost, and the ones I bought at the hardware store to replace it did not seem to work as well. Finally, when a brand new blade got chipped during merely replacing the blade because stuff inside the cutting head kept moving about and falling off their nobs & whatnot during the process, I finally gave up and bought a new cutter. The new cutter is from a no-name brand and cost less than half the price of this one, yet it came pre-assembled and worked out of the box with no work on my part. I literally just put it on the table and began cutting within 90 seconds; I'm not even joking; and the cuts were exactly precise. It feels weird to abandon such an expensive cutter -- it is just sitting on the floor of my workshop -- but right now I feel like I could not have made a better decision. Review: I like it - The product is a good product. This is the exact cutter we had before, it was good so we chose to get the exact same thing. ## Features - Compact size with 300 sheets capacity - Galvanized steel base with measuring grid - Hardened steel cutting blade assembly - Positive paper clamp - Solid steel side gauge with measuring scale ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0010KS5S8 | | Customer Reviews | 3.2 3.2 out of 5 stars (5) | | Date First Available | December 2, 2007 | | Item Weight | 60 pounds | | Item model number | QCM-1700E | | Manufacturer | Quality Commercial Machines Corp. | | Product Dimensions | 14 x 24 x 8 inches | ## Images ![1700E Desktop Stack Paper Cutter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31oSZG3L0yL.jpg) ![1700E Desktop Stack Paper Cutter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41bc06g2HML.jpg) ![1700E Desktop Stack Paper Cutter - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31TKBZXOD9L.jpg) ![1700E Desktop Stack Paper Cutter - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31Nkgp61IhL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ Cuts smooth as butter, but precision and grease problems *by W***R on January 30, 2014* This thing cuts through thick stacks of paper, and even entire bound books, like a hot knife through butter.

This is the exact cutter we had before, it was good so we chose to get the exact same thing. ### ⭐ Terrible for precision cutting! *by J***E on February 1, 2012* I'm a screen printer and am always cutting down stacks of paper to various sizes. I used to cut each sheet one by one, but decided to get this cutter to save time and energy. If you need precise cuts to specific measurements like I do, DO NOT get this cutter...it is not worth the expensive price! I totally thought I would be getting a great product for my needs with that price tag, but found that there are too many problems. Here's a list: 1) The cutter is extremely greasy. Even after several cuts, I still find random grease stains on my paper. 2) The ruler on top is 1/16" off due to the blade, so you need to adjust your measurements to compensate for that. 3) Does not cut big stacks of paper without a fanned diagonal cut. I cut card stock mainly and can only cut about 6 sheets at a time. 4) The clamp does not start at the very top, so you can't line your paper at the top ruler without the clamp creasing your paper. 5) The clamp isn't strong enough. My 6 sheet stack still shifts when cutting. I need to register colors in my work, so am extremely disappointed in the inaccuracy of this cutter. If all you need to do is cut stacks of paper without exact measurements, then this might be fine for you. The only good thing is that it's very heavy duty...unfortunately, would cost a fortune to ship back and return! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/9611721-1700e-desktop-stack-paper-cutter](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/9611721-1700e-desktop-stack-paper-cutter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
