Cutterpillar Crop Paper Trimmer

Estaba muy emocionada por haber encontrado una cortadora rotativa y con el beneficio de tener una luz led para ver donde pasa el corte, pero corta muy mal, no sé si me tocó una defectuosa pero deja todo mordisqueado, me funciona mucho mejor una cortadora bien sencilla de la marca Fiskars que me costó menos de $400 pesos, así que tristemente voy a devolver esta.

Love this trimmer! Used one at a retreat and had to get my own! It’s brilliant and self sharpening is a bonus!

I can't say enough good things about having a Cutterpillar. First tried one out at a crop and was instantly impressed. Fortunately, I had a birthday coming and hubby needed ideas! This trimmer provides a very smooth cut, even if I only trim a small amount. As long as I pay attention, it's perfect everytime. Until I received this, I'd used the same trimmer for over 20 years because I am left-handed and feared I would make mistakes if I tried something new. I admit that as I learned to use this, I double checked myself a lot as the measure twice, cut once adage dictates. There are only a couple things I would suggest altering. 1. The grid marks should be a different color. Green marks on a green surface are a strain, even with the lighted version. 2. Though this is an excellent quality tool, the price point feels a little out of reach for a lot of people, I think. I had the advantage of getting to try someone else's first, but I have lived in areas where that wasn't always an option. Thanks for the super fast shipping. Arrived 1 week early!

I spent a long while with this in my 'save for later' folder! The price did put me off. I read lots of reviews about which cutter to buy and went on lots of craft forums and this one kept being recommended. I decided to go for it and took a tip from one crafter and used black acrylic paint to rub over the measurements so that I could see them clearly. The black paint did dull the green of the machine, which bugs me a bit (but only because I'm fussy!) I'm learning to get over it! The blade is amazing and cuts sooo easily and does not leave ragged edges on the card. I have used it for up to 300gsm card, but it should cut thicker items well as it managed this card very easily. It does take a bit of practice to begin with, so have some scraps handy to have a play. Some people have said that they found it hard to hold the paper down whilst cutting, but I did that with my last machine and it's really no biggy. The only downside for me was not being able to cut items less than 2.5cm (1") as the measurements don't go right to the blade edge, but I just measure and mark with a pencil and that's fine. The light is very bright and I don't find it that useful to be honest, but others might. I found that the measurements were accurate (although some people have said differently). The instructions for use and care of the machine were clear and the company have provided details if how to contact them if you need to. I just have to remember not to keep picking it up by the bar, as it makes a handy handle but may affect the accuracy of the measuring if you pick it up this way. I use the cutter most days and am very pleased with it. Please note that the photo is of the machine AFTER I rubbed black acrylic paint over the platform, it did NOT arrive like this.

This quickly put all of my other trimmers into storage - don't know how I lived without it. Using primarily for scrapbooking, etc. Cuts straight and like a dream. Only downside - doesn't have measurements for anything under 1".
