CARL Professional Rotary Paper Trimmer 18 inch

I absolutely love and recommended this paper cutter. Very good quality. This will stand the test of time 💪🏽

I purchased this to use for cutting vinyl window film. I needed to cut 9 precisely measured rectangles for the window panes. The rolls of window film were 18 inches wide. This roller cutter exceeded expectations for this project. I’m sure it will come in handy for other projects in the future as well.

I love this. I sell vintage and antique paper items and sometimes have to trim off ragged edges. It's very easy to use. It also works for thin cardboard. I would highly recommend this trimmer for any small business.

It cuts like a dream and is easy to use. The deck is 9" which is a big plus. It has a replaceable cutting mat. I've been looking for a portable rotary blade cutter. The only drawback is that it's not user friendly for left handed cutting. It would be better if the measurements were at both ends. It also does not have a fold out arm for 12" paper. I will keep it as I don't cut 12" often and I can adapt for left handed use. I really like the way it cuts, cleanly and efficiently.

I tried to use this trimmer yesterday and could not get it to cut. Today I put in a new blade, and it still would not cut. So, I'll have to buy another trimmer. I'm giving it 5 stars because I bought it on Amazon on Aug 2, 2008. It is 17 1/2 years later, so I would have to say that it has served me well and that I will purchase another one.

For years, I had an Exacto Rotary Paper Cutter/Trimmer and I loved it. The blade stayed sharp, the "line" for cutting was STRAIGHT as an arrow but eventually (after 15 years of fairly heavy use), I had to replace it. So, of course, I bought another Exacto Rotary however the style I'd had previously was not available. I bought the closest I could and I hated it the very first cut I attempted. You had to "re-roll" the blade up and down Several times to get a clean cut AND the "line-up" was always off a hair. Did I mention how much I hated it? Anyway, a month ago I got thoroughly disgusted and threw it in the trash. I ordered this Carl Professional Rotary Trimmer and "downsized" to an 18" (which is more than plenty for the crafts I do). At the First Cut; I knew I loved this!! I told my husband how happy I was; literally, I was nearly jumping up and down after the frustration from my previous cutter/trimmer. The "line-up" is perfectly straight. One slice and it's a done deal. Due to it's smaller size (width wise), it is easier to store for more handy access in my office. One of the Smartest touches is the company put a big sticker on the underside of the Trimmer with a listing of any replacement parts, their numbers, and their website address. The instruction booklet that comes with it has their email address, as well. I taped that to the bottom, as well. There is also a compartment under the trimmer to store an extra blade (up to 3) in. Very thoughtful! Quality product. I highly recommend this model of the Carl Trimmer.

Earlier this year I bought a larger model (26” cutting length), and I was really happy with it. I got that one to cut down large sheets of watercolor paper because it’s so much more economical to buy the 22 X 30” size. But, there are some smaller things I wanted to cut, and I wasn’t that happy with the Fiskars that are basically a straight blade that gets dull fairly quickly. It’s also hard to keep the paper in place unless you’re very careful. People give great reviews to that style because it’s inexpensive, but I wanted something with a little heft and a reliable cut. This is it! I saw some of the reviews that weren’t that great, but I think their needs/expectations were different from mine. I don’t care about cutting a stack of paper. I only cut one sheet at a time, and all I care about is accuracy. Along with that, it’s a great size. I like that I can get replacement blades and cutting mats. The storage is a plus, too. I’ll use this one mostly for creating greeting cards, and watercolor swatch cards. I’m so happy!!!

The sides aren't square, the cutting surface wears out near instantly causing rough cuts. It's a piece of garbage. Also mine came pre-used even though it was bought as new.

je vous conseille de vous pratiquer sur du papier avant de couper. Une fois que vous avez compris le fonctionnement - pression, règle, tout va bien et elle coupe très droit.

The box was previously opened - torn in a couple of places. Cutting mat had cutting marks on it, as if someone has already used the tool. I've tried on a couple of sheets of office paper - worked great, no complaints. BUT. This item was intended as a gift, so the whole situation was quite awkward. So only 4 stars, not for the item itself, but for the used condition.

I received the trimmer as promised, thank you. However, I was disappointed that although the selling data reflected the inclusion of 10 blades, there were none and there was only a repository capable of holding only three blades. With this RT-200 we are replacing an older DC-200 from RotaTrim which are remarkably alike even the numbers and description of the blades are the same. The DC-200 has a repository capable of storing 12 blades, so you can see that my recent purchase is not as functional, which is disappointing. I now want to provide the blades identified on your outer box, can you advise if you sell them as an accessory to the RT-200. Regards, Richard

I really like the quality of this trimer. It was easy to use and accuate. Its sizing is good and cutting is on point with the sharp blade. I like how there are measurements on the base to enable accuracy to occur.

After paying for it, delivery was change from 3 days to one month. This is of not use to me. I asked for a retun and I have to pay for the postage what I realised is going yo be very expensive as digging into it I realised that the item is posted from the US! Please avoid this product and company if UK based
