Carl 12200 Bidex Professional 10-Sheet Rotary Trimmer, Metal Base, 15-1/2 x 11

The product seems to be just what I want to trim the things I need for scrapbooking. Thank you.

The rotary blade worked well with a different type of papers. It cut smoothly and was very easy to use. The blade can also changeable too. This is my first paper trimmer product. I love it!

Ok, it does what its supposed to do, but with extreme focus and effort. To "lock" your paper into place, you have to push on a piece of flimsy plastic that does not stay down evenly along the paper edge. So, with one hand, you push down in the front, and with the other hand at back with cutter in hand, you push the cutter down to cut and slide forward until your hands meet. It takes a LOT of pressure on the cutter for it to cleanly cut through 1 sheet of photo paper. Also, there are no printed directions on how to use it, except on the item itself. They are pretty minimal.

In the end, I find it hard to use, and hard to get accurate straight cuts every time. Accuracy is probably 75%. So, I have to redo 1 of every 4 cuts. If you are doing 2 or 4 photos a time, it can be frustrating. Maybe it gets better with practice, but I'm not a big fan.

This cutter is great - much better than I expected for the money. Smooth and accurate, with a solid feel. I got an extra blade, but it is holding its edge well so far. --NB, Mt. Desert, ME

It is great to have for cutting heavier paper. It does cut straight, BUT I am having to figure out how to cut all the way through. Sometimes it does & others it does down to the end. I am sure pressure has to do with it. I read others reviews in determining buying it and still feel I made a good purchase. I see there are decorative blades for it & if I get into scrapbooking they would be great.
