I’ve been making junk journals lately for gifts and wanted something to even out the edges without having to cut 1-3 pages at a time. This “guillotine” cutter works remarkably well. The price point is significant but I felt it was worth it for the amount of cutting of paper and chipboard that I do. It slices through chipboard like butter. My only minor “complaint” is that it’s leaving the bottom piece (paper or cardstock) not fully cut thru. I’ve worked around this by placing a piece of 110 lb paper at the bottom of whatever I’m cutting and it does the trick. I slide the 110 lb paper along bit by bit so that I’m only cutting a sliver at a time and can continue to use the same piece til I get to the end. CAUTION: the cutting blade is sharp, very, VERY sharp and should not be accessible by children or anyone not knowledgeable of how it works. I’m hoping that the blade remains sharp for a long time as the replacement cost of a blade is substantial. I shopped around for this item and found that Amazon had the best price and since I’m a Prime member FREE shipping (significant savings). So far I’m loving my Cinch Stack. Read more

I was debating many different brands before settling with this paper cutter and I’m so glad I did! The first time I used it I cut about 40 sheets of cardstock. It cut so smoothly that I was still pressing thinking something was wrong with it, not realizing it had already cut cleanly through all of the sheets already! I’m still learning the best pressure to hold the paper down and the arm that you use to line up the paper on needed some tweaking to get nice and straight, but overall it has been exactly what I ordered! It is pretty heavy but I did expect that for the type of cutter it is, and I love the color compared to the boring black and white options of other brands. I’ll update if needed but so far, it’s awesome! Read more

I cannot say enough good about this stack cutter! If you are on the fence go ahead and get it. It's built well, lighter weight, and has a much smaller foot print than others I tried, the guide slides back and forth smooth and locks into place securely. The blade cuts, clean, and straight every time and the handle does not require as much exertion on the shoulder to come down as others. It's so easy to use and definitely worth the price. Read more

This is a great cutter, as a crafter I have a number of different cutters for different things but it be honest I could do it all with this one. It cuts perfectly and with ease. I love that i can cut all the papers at once for my journals and albums Read more

I had ordered a stack cutter like this from hfs and it is much more heavy duty and felt a lot more sturdy, I got it because it seemed to be more professional and assumed higher quality. Unfortunately hfs quality control is seriously lacking, my first one cut totally uneven and the clamp bar didn't put down even pressure (I was able to fix the clamp bar issue, but the crooked blade was a problem). I went ahead and exchanged it assuming it was just a lemon. I got the new one and was suepr excited only to come to find that the blade was totally dull! And it cut slightly uneven as well. Super frustrating, so I decided to try another brand and went with this We R Makers one. Im so glad I did! This stack cutter is much lighter weight than the other one I had, which does make it more easily moved around. That being said, it's more prone to tipping when cutting through a stack. I don't mind at all though because it cuts like butter and so far appears to cut straight! I'll know for sure when I cut something with straight lines already on it, but so far things are looking good. If you're debating between the two brands, I recommend just going with this one. It feels a little more like a toy compared to the other, and normally I wouldnt like that, but this cutter works so surprisingly well and was so simple to use right out the box. Generally I lean towards something more heavy duty as it feels like something meant to last, but quality control is crucial and something just feeling heavy duty just isn't enough. Keep in mind, these types of cutters are not designed to cut single sheets of paper and will typically struggle to cut just a single sheet nicely. Read more
