Our take on the Martin Yale Premier SharpCut Medium-Duty 15" Paper Trimmer

The Martin Yale Premier SharpCut is a manual guillotine trimmer with a 15-inch cutting length and a rated capacity of 15 sheets per cut. It is aimed at offices, schools and copy rooms that cut cardstock, photos and laminated sheets rather than a few pages at a time. It has no paper clamp and no electrical parts, so holding the stack is on you. The latest best price sits near the low end of its recent range, making this a reasonable moment to buy if you need a 15-inch guillotine.

Questions and answers

Is the Martin Yale SharpCut worth it?
Yes if you regularly cut cardstock, photos or stacks up to 15 sheets and want a manual guillotine. For occasional single-sheet trimming, a cheaper rotary trimmer does the job.
How many sheets can it cut at once?
Martin Yale rates it at 15 sheets. In practice, thick cardstock and laminated sheets cut best in smaller stacks because there is no paper clamp.
Does it have a paper clamp?
No. You hold the stack by hand, so line up the paper carefully and cut slowly on thick stacks.
What is the cutting length?
15 inches, enough for letter-size paper and most legal-width sheets.
Does it need power or batteries?
No. It is a fully manual guillotine trimmer with no electrical parts.
When is it cheapest?
Office supply trimmers tend to dip during back-to-school and end-of-year office sales. The current best price is already near the low end of its recent range.
