I absolutely love this product. I also purchased a guillotine cutter and expected that would be my primary tool, however I use this Firbon cutter so much more. I've used it to cut cardstock, laminated cardstock, sticker paper, clear (really thick) sticker paper, presentation paper, and standard paper. I've never had an issue, it cuts smooth and straight. Make sure you hold your paper on the actual unit (under the Firbon letters) when cutting. I used Washing tape to mark the measurements I use most often for cutting Happy Planner inserts and book marks. I absolutely love this paper cutter. I've cut stickers as small as 1 cm and no issues.
The blade is crazy sharp, but it's got a safety feature that keeps you or your kid from accidentally touching the blade and getting cut. It's a very well thought out way of doing things. Be careful, though, as the part you use to slide the blade across the paper is only clipped together, so it's easy for it to come apart.
The base has a ruled grid system to very accurate cuts and there is a fold out ruler that makes it easier to measure paper or pictures up to 13 inches long. We're really glad we've got this, even if we only use it once a year!
The cutter is fine and works well. The folding ruler is helpful. I also ordered what I thought were replacement blades which were on Amazon. The blades are by Fiskars and they DO NOT fit this trimmer. The blades are also orange so who knew they wouldn't work. Amazon says the blades are not returnable.
These were a real bargain compared to any other option replacement blades for my Westcott slide cutter I bought for about $8-$10 at Walton's famous big discount store. They fit in perfectly and even appear to be cast in the same plastic mold as the originals, with only the color different.
They also slide MUCH easier than my originals. (Not sure if this is a design improvement, or if my originals are just worn so smooth as to create drag via the extra surface area contact.)
The only caveat was the first (and only, so far) one I tried, had sharp square bottom edges that would catch and snag the paper a little every time.
PRO TIP: I simply used a fingernail file to sand the sharp, soft plastic edges down into a slight smoothed curve, to guide the paper underneath the cutter. Now it works great and it took 30 seconds to do that tweaking.
Recommended for this tremendous value. This cutter will last at least 5 years now if not 10 and I use it almost daily.

Simple and light ... Works well with extended the arm. Small and compact but perfect for home projects. Mostly Fiskar cutters and thought I'd give a try something new. I think it's a smart idea to have diagonal lines. It cuts really well and clean, however, you need to apply more pressure than other brand trimmers. You will be surprised how light it is and it would've been nice to have more weight into it on the base but accurate and easy to use. Just what i needed.
I was a little disappointed that this only measures up to a 4 inch cut but I suppose that’s my fault for not investigating the product further. You can cut longer lengths but you have to eyeball it or use a separate ruler. It does cut very smoothly and easily.
Very sharp and very accurate cut. I wouldn't put too much paper in at a time, but works great on cardstock and other thicker papers as individual sheets. Very helpful and handy in working with things that need accurate and clean cuts. I'm an artist and this is a must have.
I like this cutter and it fits my (Westcott) and now I have a sharp blade to cut my papers thank u for making this blade
I bought this paper cutter for card stock, but that was a mistake. It will not cut heavy card stock cleanly. Specifically, it doesn't leave clean edges, and if you aren't careful it will do worse than that. It had less trouble with lighter weight card stock. 80# didn't work well at all, 65# cover stock was marginal, but 20# paper was not a problem. Since it is advertised for scrapbooking, it should work for photo paper, but I didn't try it. My expectation is that it will work for photo paper.
Aside from my expectation that it would cut card stock, the product is pretty nice. It has good guides and isn't hard to use, so this will be a good product for many people.
