Westcott 12'' TrimAir Wood Guillotine Paper Cutter & Paper Trimmer, 30 Sheet (15106)

Amazing Guillotine Paper Cutter. The 18" size provides ample space to cut various sized paper. It has good weight to it and can cut about 25-30 pieces of paper at once. I love that it has a nice safety rail that you can line your paper with for more precision cutting. The blade is sharp, and the handle has good weight and torque. I would suggest paying a little extra and buying this over the standard budget cutters available. You will definitely get more bang for your buck.

Works well, and looks just like the picture.

I organize a retreat where I need to make up pocket size agenda cards so that all of the cats are properly herded. After sitting at a table for hours cutting hundreds of these cards up with scissors, I decided a paper cutter was needed. Well... this thing is solid and it cuts super clean. It is overengineered for what I am doing. But... my gosh it is sharp. I have had it for over a year and cut hundreds or thousands of these agenda cards and the thing is as sharp as the day I bought it. It will draw blood if you just casually hit your hand on the blade... and it is that kind of cut that just keeps on bleeding forever! So... be careful around this thing! Guillotine is a good word for it.

I was really hoping this paper cutter would be a reliable tool for my crafting and office needs, but unfortunately, I’m not pleased with the accuracy of the cuts. While the design is decent and it feels sturdy enough, it consistently cuts slightly crooked, even when I take my time to line the paper up carefully. I’ve tried repositioning and double-checking the alignment with the guide, but the results are still off—especially noticeable when trimming multiple sheets or needing precise cuts for projects. For basic or casual use, it might be fine, but if you need clean, straight, professional-looking cuts, this might not be the right tool. On the plus side, the blade is sharp and it does cut through paper with ease. But the lack of cutting precision really defeats the purpose, especially for anyone using it for scrapbooking, card-making, or detailed office tasks. I really wanted to like it, but I can’t recommend it for anyone who needs accurate, straight cuts.

A beautiful piece of machinery. The blade is flawlessly calibrated and never a ragged cut or (thanks to the plastic guard) a 'ride up at the end of a cut. Seriously good.

Either the measurements on the board are slightly off or the blade is crooked. I tested multiple sheets of 81/2 x 11 and cut them in half. One half was ALWAYS 1/16 to 1/8 inch bigger. I measured the paper to make sure but it consistently was off. Overall quality of the item seemed decent but precision is required and this is not it. I don't need "kinda close".

Awesome paper cutter. Decided to spend a little more for a large heavier paper cutter. Can be more pleased with this product. You just have to get use to eyeing where the paper will be cut. After that you’re golden. I do recommend this product.

I purchased this paper cutter for one reason. To cut heavy duty commercial plastic vacuum seal bags from a roll. Using scissors is extremely time consuming, tedious, and precarious at best. As it’s virtually impossible to cut them strait. This paper cutter does the job flawlessly and perfectly every time in seconds. Saves me a ton of time and effort. And now allows me to make my bags into any size I want. I haven’t tried paper in it yet but the blade is sharp. It rides on the cutting surface like you’re sharpening a sword and it’s heavy duty and built well. So I have no doubt it will cut paper as advertised. And I’m completely satisfied with the price. I’m confident that this paper cutter is going to last for years.
