How many sheets can it cut at once?

It is rated for up to 30 sheets of 20 lb paper per cut. Thicker cardstock should be cut in fewer sheets.

Does it cut cardstock and photos?

Yes. It handles cardstock and photo paper; very thick stock may need lighter passes.

Is it safe for a classroom?

It has a safety guard, but the guillotine arm is exposed during use. It suits supervised use by older students.

What is the cut length?

The 12-inch cut length covers letter-size sheets and most standard photo sizes.

Does the blade need replacing?

The titanium-bonded blade stays sharp longer than plain steel, but it is a wear part and can be replaced when it dulls.

Our take on the Westcott 12” Guillotine Paper Trimmer

The Westcott 12-inch guillotine trimmer is a desktop paper cutter with a titanium-bonded blade and a natural wood base. The blade is rated to cut up to 30 sheets of 20 lb paper, and a safety guard and ergonomic handle are built in. It suits offices, classrooms and crafters who cut paper in straight lines regularly. Against plastic-bodied trimmers it offers a sturdier wood base and a longer-lasting blade, but it is a straight-cut tool only, with no scoring or decorative blades.
