Great review. Wish I had purchased a heavy duty cutter years ago for my paper crafting hobbies. Now doing bookbinding, and this is indispensable.

[@MommyShareSpace]

First, thank you. Also, I am happy I bought this machine when I did. It has been so useful for what I do. It's not perfect, but worth working with for the functionality it provides. Thanks for watching and good luck with your bookbinding.

I bought it on Amazon, I face a lot of accuracy issues and struggle hard to make an accurate cut. The main issue is that, even after arranging everything neatly it somehow messes up the cut, the bottom paper slant outwards and about 1cm of the bottom stack is gone. Currently I am using rubber band to keep it in place and a cardboard on the bottom for a clean cut. My machine is made in China so it will not compare to a machine made in USA or Germany, (they make everything hurriedly disregarding the quality) . Another problem is that my machine is black in colour so at times it's hard to see the ruler marking specially where the slider is stationed. Somehow I am making it work. Your video is helpful.

[@MommyShareSpace]

Hi, The Inquisitive mind, Sorry you have to do all that to get your machine to cut accurately! Based on what you said and looking at a heavy-duty black machine similar to mine on Amazon (it seems like the same machine, just a different company name with a different color), it sounds like you're not getting a 90-degree cut. I have found it to be almost impossible! However, I have found that the smaller the project, the easier it is to get a straight cut than when cutting a larger book. I also help counter this problem by pushing the bottom stack of my book up against the plastic holder since larger books seem not to jam up to it properly when placed initially. Then I tightened the plastic fence and the metal fence as tight as possible. In this video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3TWm56DbrWIf6s, I show how I try to get straighter cuts if you're interested. I also have a playlist of other things I had to adjust to align my machine. The playlist is pinned in the comments. I agree with you on the quality, though. However, it is OK for what it does until you have issues. And if you're willing to fix or adjust the machine. Not convenient, for sure. This was a good option for me, the time and money I spent every time I wanted to take a book apart. I liked the black version too, but the contrast with the little white lines on black, I figured, would be difficult as I'm getting older. I am glad the video was helpful, and thank you for watching!

you didn’t use it properly, did you even tighten the lever that pushes down to hold the paper in place?

I have this cutter and I lost one of the machine assembly screws, which is the two little screws on top one on the left and one on the right. I need to know the size, would you know the size?

[@robh1491]

Thank you!

[@christianakwesiamoafominis2203]

Thanks for your review. I have a little problem with the mine, when I begin to cut, the blade pushes the paper forward and that makes it not aligned. I guess the holder isn't working well. What should I do? Thanks

[@MommyShareSpace]

Hi Christian Akwesi Amoafo Ministries. Sorry to hear you're having issues with your machine. I agree with you that the plastic holder could be better. You have to tighten the holder and ensure your fence is securing your project well to increase the chance of accurate cuts. In looking at mine and determining what might cause the problem you are experiencing, I can only assume two things other than clamping the project tighter. -The blade may need sharpening or replacing. The downward pressure at the top end of the blade may not be slicing through the top portion of your papers quickly enough and is doing some pulling before it cuts. Or -The top end of the blade is not cutting into the paper first, then slicing through the rest. In other words, the blade is aligned straighter and may not have a small 1-2 mm spacing near the bottom end of the machine. I cannot be sure, but that is what I can assume, looking at mine. If that does not help, I made about three videos on my channel showing how I fixed the issues I was having with my machine. In this particular video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXjYd5WNn5dmg7s, at the 10:43 time stamp, I showed how to adjust for the spacing. Earlier in that video, I showed how to work with the vertical bolt and screws and how to use leverage at the pivot point to get your blade angled properly at the top end of the blade. You can check out the playlist if it helps. I have it pinned as a comment under this video. I hope you can get your machine aligned soon. Thanks for watching!

smart lady. thanks!

[@alfredomadrid873]

Hello. Do you know if it makes a perfect vertical cut? (90 degrees. 300 pages)

[@pkalapu]

Where can the blade in this mission be found separately?

[@MommyShareSpace]

Hi, the blade can be found on Amazon. The 17" often goes out of stock, though. I have never had problems sourcing the 12" blade. I have one in my save for later cart to easily find and check for it, lol. It is in stock now. This is the link ---> amzn.to/3yz51pR if you're still interested. Please note it is my affiliate link. If you want to search it, try searching: HFS (R) Paper Cutter Blade for HFS 17'' Heavy Duty Guillotine A3 Paper Cutter. I hope that helps. Thank you for watching!

[@thinkingahead6750]

Just intrigued, why do you cut the spines off textbooks?

[@MommyShareSpace]

Hi. Not all. A lot of my kid's textbooks are large. It makes it easier to lie flat when getting their work done or when I'm correcting. It is not the biggest problem in the world. But since I own the machine, anything to help make our homeschool days less stressful is worth it to me:) Thanks for watching!

[@aishwaryapurohit3845]

Can it cut heavy weight gloss coated paper neatly?

[@MommyShareSpace]

Hi Aishwarya. Yes, it does, once the blade is sharp. I just wanted to point out, though, that coated paper will dull the blade a bit faster if used for this type of paper regularly, as there is a small adhesive layer between the paper and the gloss. But now and then, it should be ok. I cut photo paper with mine sometimes. Thanks for watching.

[@jkafie]

I feel like I am missing a step in setting up my machine, it won’t cut through one single sheet

[@MommyShareSpace]

Hi Johana. Someone else was having this issue, and this video here ---> kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXjYd5WNn5dmg7s was made to try and help. You can check out this timestamp---> 9:13, where the gap was closed to enable the blade to cut through single sheets. I tried giving other tips through the video and placed timestamps to make finding helpful information easier. I hope this helps. Thanks for checking out the video.

How to allignment the blade?

[@MommyShareSpace]

Hi Md Mustafizur Rahman. You can realign the blade by adjusting a nut attached to a vertical screw on the inside panel of the machine. I made a video, trying my best to explain and show the process. If you are interested, this is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3qpiJ9tnaupaNU . I hope it helps. Thanks for your comment.

How much price mam

[@MommyShareSpace]

It is currently $270 US on Amazon for this 17" model I own. But the price will vary. When I purchased it back in 2018 it was just under $200. Inflation. 😟 Please note I am not affiliated with the company.

Can we cut business cards with this

[@MommyShareSpace]

Hi Terry. Yes, it can. It cuts excellent for single card stock paper, though this machine might be a lot for only single sheets. If cutting in bulk, stacks about half an inch or lower from the base give a pretty straight 90-degree cut. In my last cutter video, I tried to address issues of larger not being straight and suggestions. Under that video, I also got a great suggestion I am yet to try, plus another commenter left a great tip she learned while watching another channel. If it pertains to you, you can check it out here ---> kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5S2aJl3rZKNotU I hope that helps and thank you for watching!

[@terryw5500]

@MommyShareSpace I was also looking into a business card machine because I was like maybe this aint good for it. But I do flyers too do you think I could do 4x6 flyers with this

[@MommyShareSpace]

Yes, you can. There is also a smaller version to this one. It's the HFS A4-12". Works just like this one and a great consideration if you're only working with smaller projects.

[@MommyShareSpace]

I now finished using my old Swingline 12" paper cutter Model #9312 and thought of your question again. Not sure what quantities you work with. However, I have owned this now $35 cutter for well over six years, and it still works great! Advertised, it can only cut ten sheets at once but cuts clean if working with two or three sheets. It is super sharp (I cut myself with it once) and much cheaper. You can find it at Walmart or Amazon. This is it on Amazon ---> amzn.to/46MB9qf . I added the above heavy-duty cutter for cutting books.

[@terryw5500]

@MommyShareSpace thanks I actually ordered the one you have I think im gonna return it. I saw a business card machine online where it cuts them itself just put paper thru and it cuts it to the size. So I will be doing 4x6 flyers so I will use the link you sent and use this to cut the flyers. Thanks
