paper cutter
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. |

Yeah they're expensive but they last forever. Even after you've obsoleted a dozen digicams the Rotatrim will still be working fine. |

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.

Get a 12" print trimmer (the guillotine type) - when it gets blunt you can resharpen it. -- Neil Reverse 'ra' and delete 'l'. |

The only way is to use one with a circular blade like a pizza cutter on a rail. |

The guillotine cutters do cut square, they just have to be used properly. -- Neil Reverse 'ra' and delete 'l'. |

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. :-) steve |
