  • Our take on the X-Acto 15 Guillotine Trimmer

    The X-Acto 15-inch guillotine trimmer is a freestanding paper cutter with a hardened steel blade and a maple-finished wood base. It cuts up to 15 inches wide and handles roughly 11 to 20 sheets at a time, which puts it above light-duty plastic trimmers and below heavy shop guillotines. The wood base and steel blade give it a sturdier feel than all-plastic rivals, but it is a fixed 15-inch unit with no extension arm. It suits crafters, teachers, print shops and home offices trimming photos, cardstock and small print runs.

    Questions and answers

    How many sheets can it cut at once?
    Roughly 11 to 20 sheets, depending on paper weight. Cardstock and photo paper cut cleanly in smaller stacks.
    Does it cut 15 inches wide?
    Yes, the cutting length is 15 inches, enough for letter and legal-width sheets. Longer sheets need extra support because there is no extension arm.
    Is the blade replaceable?
    The hardened steel blade can be replaced or sharpened, though it takes more effort than swapping a snap-off blade. Check X-Acto's replacement parts for your model.
    Is it safe for a classroom?
    It has a blade guard, but a guillotine blade still needs adult supervision around children. Many schools use it in offices rather than student areas.
    Does it need to be mounted?
    No. It is freestanding with a weighted wood base, so it stays put on a desk without clamps.
    What is it best for compared with a rotary trimmer?
    It handles thicker stacks and heavier paper than most rotary trimmers. Rotary cutters are safer and better for thin sheets and precision curves.
    Where is the X-Acto 15 Guillotine Trimmer cheapest?
    At Quill, for $61.49, as of our latest check.
