Compatible Accessories

K-28/2: Straight blade cut - same blade that arrived with your trimmer. 2/pack.

K-29: Perforating blade - A perforation is a small hole in a thin material or web. Perforations are usually used to allow easy separation of two sections of the material, such as allowing paper to be torn easily along the line. Packaging with perforations in paperboard or plastic film is easy for consumers to open.

K-30: Scoring blade - Scoring is used to cut a groove in a sheet of material, a crease in the paper or material so that you are able to make that clean, crisp, fold.

K-M31: Perforating/ Scoring blade Set

Cutting Mat

RM-15/2: If the cutting mat's groove becomes deep, the blade will not cut as cleanly. In such case, turn over, switch over sides, or replace the cutting mat with a new one.

Hint Hint $$$$$There's no copyright on the ( Practice Sheet ).

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 19, 2022
    I invested in this to perfect the colouring book I'd made for my littlest sister 🐾 It certainly did what it said on the tin! It sliced through 10 sheets of thin card plus 2 sheets of 300gsm gloss card with no issue at all.

    It takes a few slices up and down but it's not physically difficult whatsoever and it made quick work of this book, plus a couple other books I'd made with the same thickness! I popped the book in as is, which is 4mm thick when closed. I'm pretty confident it could handle thicker stock, too!

    The magnetic ruler is pretty awesome and the whole guillotine didn't slide about on my smooth wood table. The way you clamp the blade ruler down before use holds your work strongly in place, but I'd recommend holding it down yourself too to ensure maximum precision.

    I've only used it 3 or 4 times thus far so I can't comment on durability over years, but I should hope for the price and based on how sturdy it seems right now that it's gonna provide years of smooth.like.butter 😂
