Rotary paper cutters and trimmers are one of the most common types of cutting devices used today. These cutters are used for cutting paper, card stock, laminated documents, photographs and much more. What are some of the biggest advantages and disadvantages of using a rotary paper trimmer? This article will highlight some of these.

Rotary Paper Trimmers Advantages / Disadvantages:

Advantages: Rotary paper trimmers, such as Rotatrim, are best known for their precision cutting abilities. They can cut a photograph with a perfectly straight edge. The bases often include a grid for proper alignment and an adjustable guide bar for additional alignment.

Disadvantages: Rotary paper trimmers don’t have the cutting capacity of a guillotine trimmer. Most rotary trimmers can only cut a few sheets at a time. Higher-end cutters, such as Rotatrim, can cut more paper, but capacity is still something to take into consideration.

Things To Look For: For added stability, you will want to get a rotary trimmer with a double slide rails or a square slide rail. This helps keep the cutting head in place. If inches is a necessity, you may want to ask prior to making a purchase. Many rotary trimmers have measurements in metric only.
