Questions & Answers

The product is designed to cut laminated paper. ?

There's no way I bought THEE worst paper cutter I've ever owned in my life. I was waiting for my guillotine cutter until I could get this. A regular paper couldn't be cut evenly through with this. If laminated paper had been offered to me, I would not have tried it. The answer is yes. I don't agree at all. I don't see the point of it.

Are there any scoring blades that you can use ?

This is horrible. Cutting is uneven the paper barely makes it through one piece. Rather than getting frustrated, why not spend a little more on the smallest fisker and you won't have to deal with the frustration? The fabric is also extremely thin. It would be easy to break in half with my hands because the plastic is so I didn't even care to return it since it wasn't worth the shipping. It's been sitting in a box for quite some time. In spite of ruining so many projects, I finally got the Fiskar brand and couldn't be

What kind of fabric will this cut?

It is absolutely certain that the answer is no, even though I haven't tried it. It has an extremely small blade and is a very, very basic paper cutter. The machine cannot even cut through multiple pieces of paper at the same time, let alone a piece of

What blades can I use with this trimmer? Is that true of Fiskars blades?

In order to use these trimmers, you will need a particular blade that requires you to slide it down and push it up. It is true that they sell them on Amazon.

Selected User Reviews For Amazon Basics Craft Paper Trimmer - 12 Inch

The quality of your purchase is determined by the price you pay
3/5

Is not straight in its trimming. I think it's just a defect with my unit, but it trims forward every time. The price you pay is what you get. Purchase the Fiskar with extended ruler if you want to save $10. The material was a waste and I will use it for no larger pieces than 3x5 if not smaller. It is because the trim is crooked once you pass approximately 6 inches I am 7 inches tall.

Teachers will benefit from this
4/5

I believe that. Using this to cut items I will be using in the classroom is a great feature. It has never been a problem for me to cut up to four sheets of printer paper at a time. As long as you line up on the cutting line, you can cut straight lines. It would be nice if that line was highlighted with some highlighting because I have to check it each time I cut to make sure I am on the right line. Paper size 8 can be cut with this. You will need a sheet of paper 5 x 11. At home, I do not have construction paper to test it on. Only concern is that the orange part of the slider sometimes pops off, which makes me wonder how long this will last. I wasn't able to find any information about what happens if you do lose the orange slider with the blade inside. Furthermore, I was unable to figure out how the blade was to be replaced. it is able to do a lot of work for the price, is lightweight, simple to use (I printed and cut my whole classroom decorations with it), and will last a while.

A very thin, very flimsy material
3/5

My first choice was Amazon Basics, as I thought it was safe. That's not true! This is what I needed to cut thin vinyl sheets and various paper products. There is a lot of bend in the ruler bar, even though it isn't supposed to be that way. Due to its flimsy nature, it's going to break soon. It's ok for the most part, but I have to use a ruler since the guides on this don't work at all.

A great deal on a cutter that actually Item is sold at a good price
4/5

Because of the blade, cutting paper is a little awkward, since you need to press down on the blade and pull at the same time. These guide lines make it easy to get precise cuts, and since this cutter is lightweight, you might find it There is a six-dollar sale on Amazon for four replacement blades. It would be great if it was available at this price again.

The crafting tools that I use every day are cheap
5/5

been wanting to buy a paper trimmer ever since I was a child. The large ones that worked the wide blades are so much more expensive than they are now. I found this for $8 and was surprised at the price. This is a great app. This program is almost always used by me. When you don't have it, you don't realize how much you need You shouldn't hesitate to buy this if you're on the fence. You will use it frequently, and it's so handy and convenient to keep in your pocket or purse.

A light weight cutter that is adequate
3/5

I find this to be a very useful cutter for the purpose for which I use it. It can be difficult to line up the paper street to get a truly square cut as opposed to having one side of the paper be angled. If I wanted something more precise then I would definitely choose a larger cutter because it's harder to get a neat square cut that way. Despite that, it's easy to use, and if you don't have a lot of big projects, it also works Traveling with it is a breeze and it's very lightweight.

Using the software is easy Make sure little ones are safe around you
5/5

Cutters of this size can do the job, but are quite small in size. The machine I purchased works perfectly for cutting laminated paper and makes a clean cut. With these, I do pecs for my daughter at home as they are straight and don't take up a lot of room. So far, this has been a great purchase for me. I've had it for a few months now and have been very satisfied.
