(More customer reviews)** Pros **
I was able to cut through 8 sheets of paper fairly easily. Note, however, that it requires a little exertion to cut through 10 or more sheets. The cutting blade is very sharp and is self-sharpening. The manual says each cut actually sharpens the blade so the blade never gets dull. The trimmer makes nice clean cuts and is able to cleanly shave off the tiniest piece from the edge of the paper. It is built very sturdy, and the Swingline brand name promises exceptional durability and performance. The trimmer looks sharp (pun not intended) and will make a handsome addition to the stationery in your home or office.
** Cons **
The guard rail is about an inch from the cutting edge, so this cutter might not be suited for very small jobs. The board on the trimmer is not constructed from solid wood but from a chipboard slab. The top is laminated to make the board look like solid wood. (As an upside, however, the markings are clearly printed and the laminate is so realistic looking that initially I thought the board was made of solid wood). The underside of the trimmer is somewhat crudely constructed (Can you say fussy?).
** Conclusion **
Functionally, this trimmer gets a resounding 5-stars! Construction-wise, I wish the board was made of solid wood. Also, the guard rail gets in the way of very small jobs. All in all, the Swingline ClassicCut Guillotine Paper Trimmer is a really good paper trimmer, and considering the price, it is a good value for your money! If the specifications meet your needs, I would definitely recommend it.
