ISDIR 12-Inch Guillotine Paper Cutter, 15 Sheet Capacity, Blade Lock & Magnetic Guide, Heavy-Duty Metal Base for Precision Cutting of Cardstock, Photos, and Crafts - Ideal for Home & Office

I just received this last evening. Terrific value and great price. Looks and feels well built. Wanted to cut A5 paper out of letter (8.5 x 11.5). Perfect A5 width cuts, easy. Wish it had a built in line to show second cut (A5 length after cutting A5 width out of 8.5 x 11.5) on 11.5 so I will probably add one with a paint pen unless I figure out another option. This sounds confusing when I read it but bottom line is it needs another set of lines for A5. Haven't tried other size cuts. Still gets 5 stars as I love it.

Its cuts are very smooth, and clean, but because its so small and lightweight whenever you lift up the handle you have to hold down the base so it doesn't lift up as well, so its a little annoying to use especially for cutting a lot of papers. but the price is very good, and it does the job, plus it has this little plastic piece on springs right next to the blade which you can press down on the papers to hold it still when cutting to make sure its a straight cut. i would definitely recommend it for smaller jobs.

Cuts great but hard to get a square cut. You wind up lopsided in the end. Great for the price though if you aren't worried about perfection

Corta bien, buen filo, buen material, pero como que las líneas le faltan ajuste para que salga completamente derecho el corte

If I won the lottery, the very first thing I would do with the money is pay each and every one of you NOT to buy this piece of junk. It won't cut a straight line to save its life. The guides are made of plastic and just held on by a couple of small screws, so chances are that you'll have to realign the guides to get the paper to sit straight, and even once you do that, the blade doesn't have enough weight to cut the paper all the way to the bottom. So it starts cutting a nice straight line, but by the time its 4-5 inches down the page, the blade slips and the paper actually just bends between the blade and the edge of the table. I've tried about 234 times, and have yet to actually get it to cut a straight line. Take your business elsewhere. This thing is junk.

Great compact design is the plus here! The board is nicely conceived in terms of labeled sizes. Markings are clear and lines do not appear to be easy to scratch or wear down.However, there are 5 reasons my experience was not as expected after watching the product video and reading the description.1. The paper guide is not as sturdy and dependable as presented. The magnet it attaches with is not as even as sturdy as some of my nano fridge magnets, leaving the guide to be shaky and easily nudged. After thinking this through, stands to reason that the magnet must have a lighter touch to be able to slide as easily as the video reflects. The movability of the guide arm is helpful, but the arm does not stay still. When using it to guide paper, the leads to inconsistent cuts.2. The guide arm does not stay snug against the board, so when attempting to cut multiple sheets, the bottom one snuck beneath the board by a bit. Again, this leads to inconsistent cuts.3. The paper guide to the immediate left of the cutting arm/blade was cumbersome to use. It did not move easily to hold the paper in place and remain in place as the arm was brought down.4. I tested this cutting arm 3 ways. First, with 5 sheets of paper, which was tested 3 times. This result was okay... though the blade did leave a slightly dark mark at the paper's edge. Cutting accuracy was close, but not 100%. With significant attention and discard of cutting arm, Second, one sheet of crafter cardboard (purchased in a 12X12" package at the craft store). This pulled and tore. I would not expect to use this cutting board for cardboard based on my limited experience. 10 sheets? Unacceptable result. This trial, which I tried twice and had another person try, as well, was a failure. Results were inaccurate and dogeared. The force needed to cut 10 sheets of typical copy paper was more than expected. The blade did not slice through easily, but required serious leverage. Attempt 1 was made with paper against the board's top edge. Paper cut crookedly, with chewed edge. Attempt 2 - with just 8 sheets using guide markings on the board itself yielded a straighter cut, though the edge chew was only slightly better.5. When putting the paper along the top of the board, the guidelines did not allow for a 90degree corner. Thus, the top edge of the cutting board could not be dependably counted on as a true guide. Paper had to be lined up on the actual board markings.Overall, I liked the design, weight and transportability, but the actual cutting result varied enormously from the suggested result of the video presentation. Since my projects will require properly aligned and consistent cuts of 8-10 pieces of paper along with the need for the cut of lightweight cardboard (like that at the bottom of a dollar store kitchen memo pad), my experience does not lead me to believe I can count on this board. Might my board be a "Friday at 4 on the day before a holiday break" production? Could be. Maybe your experience will be marvelous. Mine was not.

It was broken

La guillotina es imprecisa en los cortes, con mucho trabajo corta dos hojas de papel bond a la vez, si se intenta cortar 4 o 5 hojas........un desastre porque a la imprecisión se agrega que las hojas salen todas mordidas y en pedazos, ya la devolví.

Llego en la fecha establecida pero al abrirlo estaba como oxidado o raspado de la parte lateral de la cuchilla de ahi en fuera todo perfecto 🤩

Le falta precisión pero por el precio está bien, sin duda mucho mejor que cortar tarjetas a mano
