  • Good, solid guillotine cutter for the money
Size: A3-17''
Good cutter for the price -- even though I'm on my 2nd one. One problem is the packaging -- this cutter is heavy, and the winder on the paper compression bar sticks out. Though there is some styrofoam in the area, it's not enough for this sturdy part to survive rough handling -- my first cast iron handle was broken in half and the 8mm hardened steel shaft was bent -- not sure from what height this unit would have to be dropped to accomplish that, but FedEx managed it. Bottom line, this needs to be a user-installed part. To Amazon's credit, they picked up the broken cutter and I had a new one in less than a week. So save your packaging! until you check out your unit. Other users have complained that the handle on the winder comes off because an inner part breaks in half. It's not broken. Find the two pieces of plastic and put then together in the slot on the winder, then shove the handle back on. It's not the best design, but it works -- just don't pull on the handle, or it will come off. Finally to the cutter. The directions are almost non-existent, and those that are there are a laughable, unintelligible translation from Chinese. A real hoot. Basically follow these rules: 1) Only one set of hands on the cutter, period. 2) Use in good light. 3) Raise the compression bar enough to insert your sheaf, sheets, or book 4) Align the intended cut with the blade 5) Lower the compression bar enough to keep paper from moving. 6) Release the latch, pull on the handle, then re-raise the handle until it latches. Voila. I use this cutter to de-spine books and manuals for scanning. It chomps through anything I can get under the bar -- perhaps an inch-and-a-half -- like butter, and produces a clean cut. I have scanned a hundred thousand pages using this cutter. For the record, I use the cutter without the plastic safety shield -- it's much easier to see what I'm doing -- but reinstall the shield when the cutter isn't in use: the blade is sharp!. I can add that I took the first cutter apart trying to repair it on my own. I liked the engineering I saw. There's nothing "cheap" about this cutter for the price. Good luck with yours. ... show more

  • Excellent 5 star review!!
Size: A3-17''
Excellent 5 star amazing product. INCREDIBLE quality. Simple 3 step assembly. Sliding handle on, placing foot pads under each corner & flipping the clamping handle. (unscrewing /reverse & screw back on). Evenly cut paper with EASE. Reduced so much time I’d normally spend on my regular paper cutter. Precise, simple and excellent quality. So happy I purchased. If you’re in need of something like this don’t hesitate to purchase. I bought the larger cutter. Perfect 👌 ... show more

  • Heavy-Duty and Solid, But Arrived Damaged & Requires Some Force
Size: A4-12'' paper cutter
You can tell this was dropped before I received it—one of the feet is damaged, so I wasn’t able to attach the protective grip on that corner. Because of that, it doesn’t sit completely level, which affects stability slightly. It does take some force to cut, but this is my first heavy-duty cutter, so that may just be part of the learning curve. So far, it cuts cleanly when I apply steady pressure, though I haven’t tested the full 400-sheet capacity yet. There is also a bit of a learning curve with the measurement guides. I’ve had to double-check alignment before cutting to make sure everything is accurate. The cutter is very heavy and larger than I expected. While that makes it feel solid and durable, it’s also harder to store in a smaller workspace or studio. Pros: Very solid, heavy-duty build Cuts cleanly with proper pressure Feels durable Cons: Arrived with a damaged foot Requires noticeable force to cut Large and heavy (harder to store) Takes time to get used to measurements Overall, it seems like a strong cutter, especially for larger projects, but it may be better suited for someone with more space and experience using heavy-duty equipment. I’ll update after more use. ... show more

  • Excellent cutter if you follow a few simple steps.
Size: A4-12'' paper cutter
This cutter really works well providing you follow a few simple steps. First, create a temporary platform from books or magazines to the right of the cutting bed that is the same height so the cut paper does not fall as it is being cut. Then when cutting, put substantial force with the left hand on the stack to be cut on the cutting bed while working the lever with the right hand. I got 6 perfect cuts this way instead of slightly irregular cuts. I like the manufacturer's video documentation on how to maintain and adjust the cutter as well as the availability of replacement parts. I keep this on the floor under a desk and slide it out to use. At 45 lbs. it is very heavy to lift and move. Best if you have a sturdy dedicated cutting table that you can leave the cutter on. BTW, each cut saves me a 15 mile drive and a $1 per cut at a print shop. Costs far more than this at national print shops. And I can do a better job than the print shop cutter. ... show more

  • This Cutter Doesn’t Cut It - Angled Cuts, Rough Results, Scuff Marks.
Size: A3-17''
The HFS(R) 17" Heavy Duty Guillotine Paper Cutter arrived with a minor packaging blemish—possibly from the Clamping Handle rubbing against the Blade Holder Hood. Setup Observations: - Step #1 suggests placing the cutter on a flat surface. Realistically, you’ll need to place it upside down or on its side to proceed. - Step #2: Insert the four plastic feet securely. I used a rubber mallet to ensure a snug fit - otherwise, the cutter will be unbalanced. - Step #3: Two Allen wrenches are included. I used the larger to reverse the Clamping Handle. The purpose of the smaller wrench remains unclear. - Step #5: It is unclear the appropriate amount of tightening for the Clamping Handle to prevent shifting – overtightening resulted in wrist pain. - Step #7: Pressing the cutting handle too firmly also strained my wrists. Additionally, with each cut, the blade shaved slithers off the red blade pad. Performance Issues: - The Guide Ruler Lock Wheel can detach if turned too far counterclockwise. Reattaching it requires creativity. - The Guide Ruler doesn’t align straight. You must manually hold it in place while tightening, and hope that it doesn’t shift. - Despite all adjustments, every test cut was angled - not suitable for precise 90° joins. - Cuts are rough and jagged. The cutter also leaves dirt marks on boards that won’t clean off. Positives: - Cuts medium weight cardboard just fine. - There was an extra plastic foot, and five screws in the box - though the purpose of the screws is unclear. I need a reliable cutter for my current project. This one doesn’t cut it. It will be returned, and my search will continue. ... show more

Size: A3-17''
I had a Premier brand guillotine paper cutter for the last 20 years, but it finally became too dull to use. I investigated the process to resharpen the blade and also to replace the blade, both options led to dead ends. I read the Amazon reviews and decided to purchase this one and I could not be more delighted with the product. It was shipped in a large cardboard box with formed Styrofoam packing to protect the product. It arrived in perfect shape even though this is a heavy product; it was marked 'team lift' because of the weight. Definitely not a toy! My normal use is to cut 65 lb. card stock across the 8 1/2 dimension. My old guillotine cutter could only cut a stack of 4 or 5 at a time. The HFS will cut as many as you can fit under the clamp, I estimate 150 or so. The cut is super accurate since the bed is marked for positioning the stock you wish to cut and the guide can be positioned for repetitive cuts. The quality of the cut is perfect; no jagged edges. I think it could easly cut 400 sheets of normal 20 or 25 lb bond with no trouble. The clamp butterfly screw was a little difficult to use at first, but after tightening it down several times it became more free and was easy to use thereafter There is a see-thru plastic guard that can be snapped on if you desire it. It only takes seconds to install or remove. The cutter is high quality, strong, accurate and heavy. No assembly is required except installing the cutter arm, which takes about 5 seconds and requires no tools -- just slide it on. I highly recommend this cutter. ... show more

  • New product works almost perfectly
Size: A4-12'' paper cutter
I was skeptical after all the reviews on various models on here. I took a chance and don’t regret it…but it’s also day 1 and I’m not running a business. I received what I believe is a new unit based on packaging. Instructions were easy but I had to figure out the feet on my own. Not too complicated but they do snap in if you press down on the unit. Within a few minutes I grabbed some scrap cardstock and cut 5.5” wide pieces easily. It was a variety of brands so after I cut once, the other piece had some that were longer than 5.5” so I popped that stack in and it cut the slivers off easily. And they measure exactly 5.5”. So far, so good. The caveats are that the guide bar can move at the free end. South end if you’re looking at it like a map. So I made sure that when I added my stack of cardstock that I didn’t push too hard on that section. I have no intention of cutting an entire ream of paper so this shouldn’t be an issue. I’m mostly cutting heavyweight cardstock, and I am tired of doing 2 sheets at a time. Another thing to note is that it does make an impression on the top piece of cardstock. It didn’t go through to the second, so I’ll be sure I have a scrap piece on top each time. Not a deal breaker. I waste more than that trying to cut individual sheets. The last thing I noticed was when I clamped the paper down. The top sheets of paper wanted to shift out so I repositioned, reclamped, making sure it stayed against the guide. No issues so that’s just a learning curve. Second cut was fine, without the need to readjust. When I raised the clamp for the first time there was some paper and marks where they must have tested it once before packaging. Otherwise it looks brand new. I will be back to rate the blade durability once I’ve used it for awhile. I’ve heard they dull quickly so it was important that I have a blade easily available. One other notes about the weight. It’s heavy but not so heavy that my aging arms couldn’t manage it. I carried it in from the porch and brought it downstairs and set on a sturdy set of drawers. I up won’t be moving it much, but if I decide it’s taking up too much real estate for the usage, I can put it in another room and bring it out periodically. ... show more
