Nictemaw Paper Cutter, A3 Guillotine Heavy Duty Paper Trimmer for Card& Photos, Wide Use for Office, School, Home (A2-A7), 12-Sheet Capacity

I found the accuracy of the build of this guillotine to be very good. Lineups were square. Markings of sizes were accurate. There is a sliding wotsit to help line up the pages square and it did that job well. The blade rarely wriggled off line and was usually down to me trying to cut too many sheets at once. The blade was sharp and held its sharpness well. The base is medium heavy. You don't wanted a lightweight base for this sort of job. There is a plastic handle to fit over the end of the blade. I split the plastic while trying to fit it. I don't know whether that was my fault or not. But the blade was perfectly usable with the split handle.

Overall what we were looking for and works well, would recommend Positives: - The blade is lockable in the down position which makes it easy to store (hooks into a pin on the side) - It cuts well - Fairly light weight - One of the cheaper models if you need something that can handle paper larger than A4 Negatives: - The bar which you line the paper against for cutting was misaligned. (While annoying, this was relatively easy to fix. If you also find this issue you can loosen the screws underneath, push into the correct position with a fair bit of pressure and then hold in place while tightening the screws again.) - It's a useful idea that there is rear alignment backstop for lining up multiple cuts or keeping together a pile of sheets, but it is a bit flimsy in execution (wobbles a bit, moves around when you are trying to tighten the screw that holds it in place, thinner paper can slide underneath it)

I like this product. You do need to fix the 'feet' yourself, which they supply. It cuts well and the additional 'placer' that holds the paper in place before you cut is a great feature. It also helps you cut at the right place in my experience. Good value!

My old faithful died on me and it took a long time looking through reviews to find a new one. I am really impressed with the ease and accuracy on this one, and would have absolutely given it a five star except for the manner in which it arrived. The box was wet and it had clearly been handled roughly, resulting in the claimed “solid wood base” (which is clearly not solid) being damaged and the laminate peeling off due to the wet. But it’s urgently needed, cuts very well and easily, and manages my thick watercolour paper easily. HOWEVER: I realised soon after using why my paper was wonky-the bar at the top is not straight, and is roughly 3mm lower on one side than the other meaning that using the top bar as a guide to place my paper against is useless.

I do not know if it is a production error but the lip of metal where the paper is cut is lower than the board meaning that every card and paper you cut is slightly bent making it useless for a professional design. Apart from that the cut is smooth and nice and doesn't need shaving afterwards but it's useless because of how much it mangles the cards or paper.

An extremely well made product, easy to use and provides a clean straight cut. Recommended

Exactly what I hoped it would be, a large, solid guillotine that neatly slices paper and card. I expect years of use from this well made piece of kit.

This is a good old style paper cutter. Have tried the modern "safer"style slide ones but none have been up to the task. It is lovely and lightweight, although that being due to its construction. Would have preferred a solid wood base but time will tell if this one will last.
