 good for the priceSep 08, 2008
By David (design matters) Robbins
I need to print mailers, brochures, etc that are in 30+ quantity runs. I needed a cutter to produce quick, accurate and repeatable sizes. It does not have the 1/32 to 1/64 accuracy without several test cuts, each new size setting. I would say that at about half the cost of pro level cutters, this thing ain't bad. To get accurate 4 1/2 inch (half a sheet lengthwise) I had to file the ends of the blue reference bar down a hair. Still, I am pleased and it puts a good, clean cut on heavy stock, multiple sheets at a time.

 Could be a lot better for the price.Nov 17, 2011

First off, don't be fooled by the line in the description that reads "Calibrated metal base provides accuracy and added stability" because the base isn't metal. In fact, you'll have to look hard to find any metal parts on this cutter. The "metal base" is in fact a 2-inch wide piece of metal on the bottom (under the blade portion of the base) that does who knows what. I bought this mainly to score custom greeting cards so that I could fold them perfectly down the center, but the rulers on the base only go to 1/8" accuracy, which is strange because they have millimeter lines just underneath which are accurate to the millimeter, so what about the U.S. customers? Anyway, when I score (or cut) cardstock, the paper likes to move around a bit, even with the special system that is meant to prevent that. Maybe it's my glossy paper, but for the price I expected better. Also, because the plastic that the blase cuts into is replaceable, it moves. The problem is it moves side to side, and because a blade likes to always follow a precut path, the blade will move this strip to align with the cut, which also contributes to pulling the paper with it. And the paper stop is quite a terrible design. Flimsy plastic with locks that are so hard to lock and unlock they'll probably be breaking soon. Additionally, the green plastic does grab the light and glow quite well, but it's almost impossible to use it to align your cut if you want any form of accuracy. I tried to align it to a line printed on a page and when I cut I was off of the line, which is fine if you don't care about the final size, but if you need something precise, it won't do much to help you. If you're going to spend this much for a trimmer, pick something else.
Good Value for Small office and homeDec 23, 2011

The Carl Trimmer is a real gem find. Here in Australia this model is not available and whilst other Carl Products are available they are at a premium price. Out of the box I found this trimmer to be accurate and having a 20 sheet capacity really helps. The Trimmer comes with a spare blade (perforator) and Trimmer mat.
In all I would reccomend this product, If there is a shortfall it would be a more weightly base, but being recycled, good price point and accurate... what more could you want.
