Does anyone have a recommendation for a good paper cutter for cutting
photos. I only cut one at a time and the paper is no larger than 8-1/2
X 11. I have one that cost about $35 but it sometimes doesn't cut
exactly square. Thanks in advance.

When this subject has come up before the answer has been spend the big
bucks and buy a Rotatrim. Yeah they're expensive but they last
forever. Even after you've obsoleted a dozen digicams the Rotatrim
will still be working fine.

We've had a Beseler Rota-trim since 1978. It has cut untold numbers of
photos along with any other paper we've wanted to cut in all those years.
AND, we have never had to replace the blade! I highly recommend. They are
spendy, but worth it.

Here is one more vote for Rotatrim. They last and last and the blade is so
sharp and accurate that you can cut a strip of paper off that is barely
wider than the thickness of a finger nail.

Get a 12" print trimmer (the guillotine type) - when it gets blunt you can
resharpen it.

Still fine.

Blade type cutters will never cut square regardless of what you pay for
them. The only way is to use one with a circular blade like a pizza
cutter on a rail.

That is how you are using it. The guillotine cutters do cut square, they
just have to be used properly.

Fifteen years ago I used a guillotine-type cutter that would, indeed, cut
square - you just turned a 16" wheel to press down the clamp with anywhere
from a few hundred to a thousand pounds of force to hold your stock still.

problems on my crap eyesight, crap hand stability and crap equipment.
