It's very precise and sharp. Works great. Grit line and blade seems very straight too. Can cut just as good from top or bottom of the cutter.

Very precise well made and saves a lot of time and effort. Highly recommended the only thing I would change is the use of the metric measurements instead of standard.

Bought this for my wife (crafter extraordinaire) for Christmas. Let's just say that it was just what Santa ordered! It is heavy and impressively built - just like the ones I remember in the school office from my childhood (except that they now come with a safety bar to prevent Billy from inadvertently trimming his finger nails). This is a life-time purchase. It can be handed down as a family heirloom. If you need the best paper trimmer, this is it. And yes, I looked at ALL of them.

This machine is a beauty. Just like the old chopper I used in graphic arts class.

It is built solid and cuts straight as a laser.

I enjoy using it so much, I have been finding new applications such as opening my mail and trimming heels off of my girlfriend's shoes.

Just like the old days it is an excellent cutter. I would have given 5 stars but the ruler is not straight. So the closer you get to the 18 inches the more off the cut. It is not glaringly off, but this means it can't be used for precision cutting. Which is a real shame for this price. I notice another reviewer was handy enough to fix this himself- but no one should have to.

I had to remove the built-in ruler, and using a square, I had to re-position this ruler so that it was actually "square" to the cutting blade. What good was this product if it did not cut square? Swingline must be outsourcing like much of America's Companies. What a shame too. Swingline use to be the very best you could buy. Not anymore! Keep searching....
