Product Reviews: Marigold 12" Professional Titanium Rotary Paper Trimmer Cutter (TR410)

I have been needing to replace my current paper trimmer for a while now and this seems to do the trick very well. It is similar to my other one which also had the rotary blade that slides along the rail to keep the cuts straight and neat. The trimmer on the box says that is can cut through 8 sheets of 80GSM paper or online it says it can cut through 10 sheets of 20lb paper. I don’t usually cut that much at once since I still have not found a way to keep all my pages straight while stacked and usually I am just cutting one or two sheets at a time.

Some of the pros to this cutter are that the board is marked with multiple measurements for common sized cuts although most of them are in metric rather than inches for the USA. This is not so say that inches are not on there it is just not a prominent and slightly confusing until you realize which marks are which measurement. To be fair these are from a company based in Australia so they use metric which is the reason it is more prominently marked. Another pro is that the board has raised edges much like many others that allow you to get your papers straight on at least on side. Another pro I like on this cutter is the fact that it has a plastic guide so that you cannot put too much paper under the cutter at once.

Depending on what you like the size of the bard may be a pro or a con. My last board would hold paper bigger than a standard 8.5x11. This one is only about 6.25 inches wide but will still hold a 13 inch paper.

The best most beneficial selling point is the fact that the blade is completely covers except where it actually cuts the paper. This is great because it keeps you fingers from getting. This feature alone helps it stand out from most if not all its competitors. See the pictures for to see what I mean.
