Photo/Paper trimmer
At nearly double the price of a knockoff at Wally World, this Fiskars product is about 10 times the value!!!
Heavier made gives better control and faster cutting. I print my own photos and trim them myself to fit standard frames, and this device is as good as some of the cutters I have used in business at much higher prices than this.
This is a good, safe device for home and hobby use.

Worst Blades Ever!
This cutter works well - WHEN it works. The problem is that the blades dull out in literally no time. I have needed to use it to cut cardstock paper and at about the 30th cut - it starts to shred the paper. Overall it does a fairly straight job - but I end up going through blades like I do tissues - it really is ridiculous. And on top of the price of the cutter itself, to get 2 replacement blades it is around[...]. This cutter has not been worth it at all for me and the measurements - to add on to it - when you get between the 5 and the 6 it's almost as if it's not accurate and difficult to measure! I tried to cut an 11" paper in half at the 5 1/2 and it is always off enough to notice. It's very odd actually. Would not recommend this.

Not the best
This trimmer cuts well, however there are not enough measurement marks. If you are trimming a 4*6 picture down to a 4*3 picture you have the guide at the bottom, but nothing in the middle to make sure you really have it lined up straight. I found I had to really pay attention to the bottom edge of the photo holding it securly against the edge. If you had one that wasn't a straight edge guessing is the only option.

great cutter
i have had this cutter for at least 3 years. i am into scrapbooking and mainly cut photos and cardstock, which really dulls the blade. and sometimes i cut regular paper. it does cut 5 sheets of reg. paper at a time. but if you do plan to do this, you have to put more pressure on the blade as you slide. i have replaced the blade 3 times since owning this cutter. so far i am really happy with this device.
where i am fustrated is when i am trying to measure something 5inches. 5 inches get lost in between the board and the swing arm ruler. Also,i hoped in the future models of the cutter that fiskar can design a place on the cutter itself to store the extra blade.

Great All-around trimmer until...
This is my 2nd Fiskars trimmer in about 15+ years. I didn't hesitate buying a Fiskars replacement. I accidently dropped the thing and lost the orange blade unit. I inserted the replacement blade and it just does not cut the same; not even making contact without several swipes. By that time, I'm not getting a clean edge. The blade unit can only go into the track in one way so I don't get why it's not cutting. Time to look for another more sturdy model...

These are the flat mats
I've just replace the mat and blade on my Fiskars rotary trimmer and now it works as good as new. This mat is the flat variety for older trimmers. It fits my trimmer perfectly and the cuts are as smooth as butter.

Fiskars Paper Trimmer Mats
This was about the only place - on Amazon - I could find the rotary cutter replacement mats that are necessary for the Fiskars rotary paper cutter. What else can I say - they let you do the job! So the kudos are more for the source!

Great for cutting photos and laminated items
I bought this (on sale at a craft store) for helping my child's preschool with laminated cards and photos. Honestly, before I knew about this tool I was using scissors to cut them. What a waste of time! And completely comical to see what a poor job scissors do compared to this machine on items that require a super-straight line. The previous reviews for this look old, I think they may have improved the model since those postings. I have been using it now very often for a few months, and have not had to change the blade at all. Even on laminated pages it cuts clean through. You have to push on the clear plastic guard with one hand while you push down on the wheel with the palm of your other hand. If you use just your fingers on the wheel, they will get sore fast if you are using it for a lot of cutting. I really like this product for scrapbooking as well.

Great, precise cutter!
Love this cutter! This is an invaluble cutter we use for our invitation business. Cuts are clean through thick cardstock paper. It's user friendly and can be used for any scrapbooking projects. The clear plastic sheild helps make precise cuts, allows for a good grip while cutting without ruining or getting stationary dirty.
Only drawback is you'll need to replace the blades and cutting bar/stick once it's overused and dull. The blades are easy to find but I wish I could say the same for the cutting bars/sticks. Lots of Fiskars Cutters out there but not all have serial or item numbers so it's hard to find the right accessories and replacement parts.

Great Product!!!!
I love this paper trimmer. It works great and it's easy to use. I've had mine for over a year and it hasn't let me down so far. I'm not sure about the other reviewers but this is better than my first fiskar trimmer. The blade is covered so my son won't cut himself, it locks down so your paper isn't moving around. I get straight cuts every time. It's easy to change the blades out, it has a storage compartment for your blades & it has a magnet for any metal pieces lying around. It has all the measurements for cutting the right size photo's (it takes a little practice with that)But other than that their is nothing wrong with this trimmer! It's light weight to take anywhere and the price here is cheaper than anywhere else I've seen it. I just think this is a great product and works well, and if your looking for a trimmer this is it! I'm actually getting another one for my mom as a Mother's day gift! She uses mine all the time so I thought I would get her, her own!

Can't believe this is a Fiskar's product
Normally Fiskar's puts out quality products. They must have been asleep when this cutter was designed. Sometimes the arm lifts up, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes, you have to practically throw your shoulder out in order to get it to lift up.. Rotary wheel is all over the place too.. hard to get a good straight cut. Only good thing about this cutter is the convenient built-in blade holder. Other than that, don't waste your money.

Anyone know how to replace Rotary Cutter on old Fiskar paper cutter?
Mar 20, 2009 by mamaturtled2005 | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
1 Get the proper replacement for the model
2 Follow the instructions on the package.
3 If no instructions be very attentive taking the dull cutter off, and reverse the procedure. Fiskar cutters are spooky sharp so be very careful handling them.

Does anyone have any advice on which paper trimmer or cutter I should buy for rubber stamping projects?
Nov 06, 2006 by Jessica | Posted in Hobbies & Crafts
My little sister is lookin' for a paper trimmer or cutter for when she does her craft projects and I am trying to find one for her as a Christmas present. I did buy her a Fiskar's Rotary Paper Trimmer but I have read a few reviews that they are hard to use. Does anyone have a trimmer that they would recommend? Thanks!
Fiskars has a paper trimmer that has grids on the base, a ruler to hold the paper in place and a small cutting blade that runs along a track. I use this all the time and am very pleased with it. It easily cuts 12x12 scrapbooking paper. I have never had a problem or been disappointed with any Fiskars product. They are very user friendly and the products are so conducive to creativity.
