Paper Trimmer Which One?

Over the years I have brought many paper trimmers. I'm trying to find out what others think is the perfect paper trimmer and why do you think it is perfect/best. Watch this video and see if you can help me.

Fellowes Neutron Proton or Electron are the best cutters you can buy for under $50. Nothing else will compare.

Hi Doreen, I laughed because we've had the same path in Trimmers. I like Tonic Guillotine in the end, Self sharpening and I have a 12" and 8.5". Check out Amazon for price comparison. In the long run when you don't need blades it is cheaper.

@chrisnkitties I'll have to keep this one in mine if the Fiskars doesn't work for me. TFW

Thank you soo much for this video. At least I now know some of the ones that I don't want

I have and old fiskers and a newer one. My biggest problem with the trimmers is accuracy. I have a very hard time getting, especially if I want to layer paper for cards, the cuts to be accurate. Learning where to put my paper on what part of the line is a problem. Do I leave the line showing? do I cover the line. I never seem to get the same cut twice.

Thank you again.

@charsbabushka You are quite welcome. I have been using my Fiskars Premium since I recorded this video and I've changed the blade once. When matting my cards or doing any cutting using the paper trimmer I put the paper right on the line and that seems to work for me.

@Zopacha Thanks for the info. I've been using the Fiskars Premimum trimmer for about a year now and I love it. Now if I could only find a good glue gun :-(

As Seen on TV - Craft-Lite Cutter - with Light I like this trimmer because of the different blades available to make the cutting edges fancy. I also have several fiskar trimmers, and one or two others as well. I do however like the type of trimmer that allows me a different edge cut rather than the same old straight cut all the time.

@26fishies Thanks for the comment. I guess everyone gets different results for their trimmers. I have had the last one Fiskars Premimum trimmer for the past 10 months and have had no problems. The cutting has been great. Have not experience the fluffy pieces on the edge. I know someone who uses the trimmer as well and she did have that problem, but it she just changed the blade and it is still working great for her. Good luck with what you're using. I say if it works keep using it. TFW

This video was very helpfull but i have to disagree witht the last fiskars trimmer... I went through two of those plus 2 packs of replacement blades and i had little fluffy things on the adge of oaper every time, even on my lightest patterened paper! I also tried the martha stewart cutter which really stinks, but her circle cutter is great! Anywho, ive gone back to my original office max guillotine cutter, it works better than either of those! Im going to give a rotart cutter a try because ive
