    Customers find the ease of sliding of the paper cutter to be difficult. They mention that there is so much wobble in the tool that it can't cut a straight line, the motion also causes the bar to rock, and the slider moves all over the place. The paper slid around and the bar that the blade is on is very wobbly. It's not that easy to get on and it doesn't slide as smoothly as expected when cutting.

    Great Trimmer, very accurate if you line it up!
    5 Stars
    Great Trimmer, very accurate if you line it up!
    Best trimmer I have used, definitely worth the price. If you take your time to line up the paper to the bottom and middle scales and ensure it is even along the bottom it is very accurate. The first couple cuts I tried I didn't hold the paper in place while I pressed down the trimmer blade and it shifted slightly. Now I just put a finger or magnet on the paper to hold it as I press down on the cutter bar and it is very accurate. You can see in the picture I lined up a 5" cut and then measured it afterwards, the ruler printed on the board is accurate and it cuts very accurate and straight (within 1/32" I believe). A very nice bonus is that the blue metal base is magnetic, so if you have a piece of material that tends to curl from coming off a roll you can use magnets to hold it down flat to get a precise cut.
