It's very accurate when you line up your paper and stack it just right. Any slight off cuts or inaccuracy I got was due to human error or improper jogging of the paper, but once I lined up and tried again, the cut was straight every time. I was always taught in the printing business to put a scrap piece of paper/cardstock on top and bottom of your stack so when you cut, any frayed edges or possible grease residue (if any) are left on the scrap pieces and your stack is left flush and clean. This is still a heavy piece, especially near the front of where the blade is so be very careful when lifting. Other than that, I would recommend this to anyone doing home business work, crafting handmade books, or for cutting thick study guide books for college courses, etc. Review: Please Read This! - Because this paper cutter had decent reviews I took a chance on it. When it arrived it would not cut. I am not mechanically inclined, so even though they included many troubleshooting ideas, I wasn’t about to mess with it. It didn’t work like other buyers had stated in their reviews and I knew there was something wrong. It would not even cut 5 sheets of paper (let alone 400!!) Also, it appeared used and repackaged. There were paper scraps, as if someone had cut paper with it. I’m thinking maybe it was returned, and desertcart put it back on the shelf and it was sent out again inadvertently. (I hope it wasn’t deliberate!) So I returned it, which was a big pain in the butt because it weighs a ton. And because of this experience I almost gave up on this cutter. But on a whim, I ordered another one and it did everything the reviews said. It cuts through just about anything, even a pile of cardboard! And it cuts like butter. I am so glad that I didn’t throw in the towel and took a chance by ordering a replacement.

(2.5inch x 3.5inch)** A: I was also looking for this. Too bad it doesn't exist. **Q: Is there a minimum amount of paper required to cut or can it cut a few pages?** A: Depends on the thickness of the paper. The bottom page cane be frayed. If you use a piece of card stock under any size stack when cutting it will work and not fray. **Q: How much material needs to be left on the sides for a clean cut? I am looking to get this to cut wallet size photos.** A: I would go with something else. **Q: Can this cut through a hard cover book? I'm looking to digitize a few copies. Would you buy it again?** A: If the book is thin enough to fit under the blade, it probably would cut it. I'd probably use a box knife to remove the front/back covers first and then trim the binding. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent cutter! *by M***E on January 31, 2020* This is a great product for cutting large amounts of paper or making edges of handmade books flush in a small amount of time~ I worked in a print shop for 3 years, so I do have background knowledge about using industrial cutters like this and I love this cutter!

It's heavily built and has very little wobble in the parts. I bought it for book-binding; to cut perfect-bound books. I'm a fairly large guy, so it may be a little bit harder to get this to cut through a full 400 sheets of paper like it claims if you're a smaller person, but it takes very little effort whatsoever to cut through a big stack to begin with and I doubt most people will have a problem. It's also about 3-4 times faster than cutting things by hand, even for the same amount of paper. I can cut about 3 1/2 books with this in the time it used to take me to do 1 when cutting the edges with a knife. By far, the cost is more than justifiable in the time you save with this thing. The paper guide that comes built in is more of a nuisance than a help in my opinion because of how tightly it's attached to the slider bar, but it's easily removable with a single screw. I found it easier to cut myself a wooden L-shaped block on a table saw that I just hold behind the paper to get it in place and then place my hand on the paper while cutting. This is probably more related to my specific use of the cutter than anything else, so I wouldn't classify it as a major design flaw. The only significant downside to this cutter is it's lack of accuracy. This is not a fine-cut tool, and I would not even begin to suggest you use it for anything like photo matting, where pinpoint accuracy and perfect 90 degree angles are a necessity. It cuts straight and cleanly, but there's a distinct margin of error for about 1/32", even with practice, and on larger stacks of paper it has a tendency for the blade to want to wander a bit off of straight down, leaving you with a stack that's up to 1/8" difference in sheet length from top to bottom. You can mitigate that with a bit of practice, but this isn't meant to be the most precise of tools. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yescom 12" Paper Cutter Heavy Duty 12 Inch Industrial Commercial Guillotine Paper Cutter 400 Sheet Large Capacity A4-12" Paper Cutter for Office, School, Picture Shop - We R Memory Keepers, Journal Book Binding Punch Guide Set, Includes Guide, Awl, Curved and Straight Needle, Waxed Thread, Japanese Stitching Template and Storage, for Japanese and Copic Bound Books --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/9698990-a4-12-paper-cutter](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/9698990-a4-12-paper-cutter) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
