Cuts paper like a hot knife through butter
I was looking for a paper trimmer that could handle the demands of cutting accurately through several sheets of cardstock without frustration and I found it. I wanted to be able to cut multiple pieces of paper of large and small sizes.The last reviewer made the comment that you have to take a couple of extra steps. No big deal, In fact this is a positive feature. You lift up a lever to elevate the cutting blade rail and push it back down to lock it into place. That brief extra step locks up to 8 pieces of thick textured cardstock in place without any shifting of the cardstock, and with little effort. This total thickness of the cardstock was 1/8th of an inch. I found that I could cut 4 pieces of thick textured cardstock in one very smooth effortless movement. If I put 8 pieces down it took one push forward and one back and to cut through all of them. Someone with fairly severe arthritis would find all of this easy to do. SO MUCH BETTER than my Fiskars rotary cutter. The...

good product
We like the new cutter purchased to replace the Carl personal use model we had for several years. The Heavy duty model takes two additional steps (locking/engaging and unlocking/disengaging the blade) but is well worth getting used to because it cuts more paper and efficiently. Thank you.

CARL 12210 rotary trimmer
I was looking for a trimmer that would trim my booklets and decided on this one because of the features and especially because of the 5 star reviews. I am very pleased and well satisfied with the heavy construction and performance. The booklets I am trimming are 9 sheets of 24 # paper folded in half giving equivalent of 18 sheets 24 #.The locking bar holds the paper securely in position. The inch scales along the edge seem to be very accurate. Rather than push down with a lot of pressure on the cutting head, I make 3 - 4 passes with lighter pressure. This will also lengthen the life of the cutting strip under the blade. The cutting strip can be reversed when it is worn and also turned over, giving the equivalent of 4 strips, since it is off-centered. There is also a spare strip & 2 extra blades provided, 1 regular blade and 1 perforating blade.I highly recommend this cutter.
