dave75 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 ..for cutting card kits obviously, I don't seem to get the edge I need with a steel rule. There is a thread on here about a square cutter but the picture has disappeared so it's difficult to get an idea of the product. The interwebs has a fellow rotary trimmer at 9 pounds and a hobbycraft 2.5 x 6 inch trimmer at 4 pounds . Any thoughts on these products? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted February 22, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2023 Hello dave75 By pure coincidence, I have literally just this minute ordered an A4 guillotine from Amazon which is due with me next week. But it's about £32. I will report back. Brian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine (not tried one myself) that using a rotary trimmer would be very difficult for cutting straight lines. I believe they are meant for cutting curved shapes in fabric. It must be very hard to hold a rotary trimmer against the edge of a ruler. I used to use 'snap off' blades in an NT cutter (model A-250), but have recently changed to a Swann Morton (No.3 6172) with the 10A blades. This is much better (and accurate) at cutting card. Straight cuts with a steel ruler are simple. I get my blades in packs of 50 off local Market Stalls, where they are priced reasonably.

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted February 22, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2023 Have you tried the French SIG, they seem to have a lot of experience with guillotines! Mike. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
