Great trimmer. Using it for 3M Scotchlite trimming and it cuts right where you think it will. Even slices off slivers the size of a hair evenly across the entire pass.

This is a great product. I had seen this brand before, but for some reason got a Dahle before I got this. The Dahle could not handle the mat board I was trying to cut, and then the cutter guide broke while I was trying to unfubar the whole thing. The Carl handles everything I've thrown at it with ease, like mat board, chip board, and heavy card stock. For the money, you can't go wrong with this one, and it's $20 cheaper than the comparable Dahle.
