I have been using a Martin-Yale for years, but after it broke down once again in the middle of a time sensitive project, I decided it was time to buy a spare. Not terribly confident in off brands, but the difference in price for a new Martin-Yale made me decide to try it. I liked the look of this one, and when it arrived I was very pleasantly surprised. It is a heavy built cutter. Everything worked flawlessly out of the box. It is easy to operate, and I've been cutting about 150 sheets per blade swing. I don't know how well it will last, but it has already made itself worth the investment.

not sure if i would actually like this, as there are so many rip offs. the clamp works well, the knife uses a slide motion which cuts clean, real clean in fact.i'm using this for a 3 knife cut on a text booklet i wrote on mapping domestic property which i plan to upload on here as soon as the copy right office finishes their magic.but to the cutter. it is a heavy sucker. make sure you have a place to put it so you don't have to move it often.. it is designed to last for years with replaceable blade, cutting surface that can be turned 4 times (which is industry standard) and does use a true bypass cut so it leave crisp machine quality edges.for small cottage printing, this is a must have, cost, quality and results are amazing.

Use this to cut 1/4" - 1/2" thick stack of index paper and it cuts so smoothly. If you tighten the clamp, it will not move and cuts accurately. I cut it using crop marks so I'm not sure if it cuts accurately according to the measurements on their ruler. Also aligning it is a bit off but you get used to how much extra space you need to place it so the knife cuts at the correct spot. It's also better for thicker stack of papers and it really cuts like butter like another person said. It feels a bit awkward cutting a couple sheets at a time, leaving you wondering if you made the cut fully, but it still works. Bought this because it has a blade replacement option. Sadly they got a poor review because someone didn't read instructions to push the safety lever down before cutting. It does work nicely. It is very heavy and quality made. The blade is not under the lever as other cutters have. The lever is only for the handle and the blade is parallel to the surface. It seems more safer that way as well. Worth the price.

An absolute beast of a paper cutter. Use this in our office to cut large amounts of marketing materials at once it worked extremely well. It is quite bulky though and quite large. You need to absolutely respect this cutter or you won't have fingers left over.The safety team at her office had quite a bit to say about it and put warning stickers on it haha.

Cuts a large portion of paper easily. Clamp holds the paper down then the handle cuts evenly. Very sharp. Done about 10,000 pages so far in lots of about 200 and the blade is still good.

The cutter is well protected with a specially formed styrofoam, nothing was broken nor loose in the box.It took 15 minutes to set it up and to make test cuts.After that I was able to flawlessly cut manuals with precision and perfect results.One small flaw: one side of the paper guide is precise while the other side is not but it is easy to get around the issue.

The basic design of the Texalan is well thought out. The whole unit is covered with a durable, high-gloss coating with printed grids of both US and European paper sizing in a light color against a dark background (it's gorgeous). The safety features are excellent. It's light enough that I can move it if necessary, but heavy enough to stay put when in use. Some things to consider: The high gloss finish creates reflections between the horizontal and vertical surfaces. Consider this when setting up your lighting. (I think it would help if the imperial and metric grids were different colors, since they are positioned very close to each other.) The sliding arm that positions the paper parallel to the blade is a bit wobbly. Merely tightening the knob that holds it in place is not enough; to prevent a crooked cut, the free end of the guide has to be held down firmly while tightening the knob. Two rulers imprinted on the plate make it easy to line up the arm. Over all, I'm glad I bought it--it's built to last!

Where have you been all my life? My only regret is that I didn't buy this guillotine years ago. Excelkent value, excellent quality, easy to use, excellent results. We host a large raffle and each year it takes us hours to accurately cut thousands of tickets using a standard paper cutter. This year we used our new guillotine and the job was done in less than 10 minutes! I was pleasantly pleasantly surprised at how easy this was to use and even more impressed by the precision of the cut. Highly recommend!!!

If you’re thinking of purchasing a paper cutter, look elsewhere. First of all, I first opened the machine there we’re no instructions on how to set up the machine. It took me 40 mins to figure out how to put the paper clamp handle thing on the right way (it is backwards), how to unlock the actual cutter lever, etc. I also had to wipe down the machine because it was covered in grease. Even after I cleaned there was grease on the blade itself which left my papers with a nasty grease streak even after wiping the blade multiple times.Not only was the set up and grease an issue, but the machine itself is difficult to get accurate cuts on thick stacks of paper. Even after measuring carefully, lining up and inspecting exactly where the blade will cut, it’s a hit or miss. Some pages are off by 0.25” or so.In addition and probably a very annoying issue that I learned the hard way is that if you place your stack of paper right up again the metal bar/ruler, clamp down, and cut you will notice that your paper with pinch at the top (see pictures). As a result, I figured out that I need to move my paper down a bit and clamp it so that it doesn’t pinch at the top. This is a big issue is that the cut may not be perfectly straight.The only positive it that it cut through a lot of paper very nicely, 2 stars for that reason.

UPDATED REVIEW!!!!!!Please disregard the 1st review on this item!!! Please disregard it!!!I messed around with it a little more and I think what the problem was that I wasnt using enough paper AND ALSO I WASNT TIGHTENING THE CLAMP TIGHT ENOUGH!! I THOUGHT IF I TIGHTEN IT TOO MUCH IT WOULD BREAK BUT YOU HAVE TO TIGHTEN IT TO GET A GREAT CUT. AND could I tell the difference!! So yes this cutter works excellent for thick stacks and with the clamp tightened!!! PERFECT SMOOTH CUT. CANT EVEN TELL WHICH SIDE YOU CUT1st review: No instructions to begin is a problem. Maybe if someone from the companyputs up a decent video on how To use it. Then when I go to cut a stack it leaves all these indentions in the papers so i cant them.
