Would this be good for scrapbooking? I'm especially curious about cutting scrapbook-sized paper, 12inx12in.

Yes, it is big enough and the blade is sharp enough. So i think it would be fine.

Yes this is an awesome paper cutter and will easily cut your 12 x 12 paper!

You certainly could use this to cut out a small section of plywood, but if you are talking about slicing off big pieces then you are better off using a circular saw or something else bigger.

yes, but you would have to clamp it down. and I wouldn't recommend that for common use. It's just so heavy that a cheaper cutter would be easier in the long run. It also has a problem cutting straight (regardless of how much paper you cut)

Cutting one or two sheets with a paper cutter like this is like swatting flies with a shotgun. Mine tends to just crease the paper if I don't have a big stack, but that may be because I've cut so many big stacks with it. For lighter work, I recommend one of the Fiskars paper cutters, like this one: Fiskars 12 Inch Portable Scrapbooking Trimmer (196920-1001)

As with most cutters (with the exception of guillotine cutters), this cutter is meant to cut 12 x 12 paper. Of course, you can cut any length of paper you want on a cutter, but you are restricted to a 12" width. Hope this helps! As a side note, do NOT pay extra for the light on this cutter. I am one of the BIGGEST Fiskars fans there is, but this light is completely useless - COMPLETELY useless.

The inside pocket definitely fits 12 x 12 paper with the three holes being extra on the side. Perfect for scrapbooks. The only problem is the three hole punch only lines up wih certain scrapbooks so I had robust my single hole punch to make extra holes to fit the books I already had.

I use mine to cut card stock and photo paper all the time. The blade will eventually dull a bit but the blade is replaceable.

Yes we did cut 8.5 x 14 inch paper. Didn't have a problem although we just did it as a test in getting use to machine. A someone stated earlier, we also cut short edge.

Depends on what you are using the cutter to do. We are using it to cut photographs and paper for scrapbooking so we bought the small 28mm (not 45 mm) two pack of blades. There are also fancy cutter blades if you are doing scrapbooking that make the paper edges curvy or zigzag.

I use mine to cut watercolor paper up to 130 lb (but I don't have any heavier watercolor paper), chipboard, and I even cut 1/16" thick acrylic, although it took several passes. I rarely cut anything thinner than cardstock, simply because I don't need to, but I did cut construction paper a few times. The file folder won't give you any trouble at all. I use the smooth cardstock setting on mine to cut it. The best way I've found to find the right setting is to use some small scraps (3 x 3 or 2 x 2) on the mat and cut a small square 1/2 x 1/2 at the recommended setting. If it doesn't come up easily, try a heavier pressure by 1 or 2 points. If that doesn't work, I try the next blade depth but with the pressure moved back down. The thin chipboard cuts very easily with the thick cardstock setting, for me. The chipboard setting is more for the 2mm thick stuff, not the thinner stuff.

Yes. I was able to laminate 8.5 x 11 inch sheets of paper and cut things out. The edges stayed intact and did not peel off.

I use it to cut photos and printing labels mainly and I only do 1 at a time.I have used it to cut reg 20lb paper and I could cut up to 3 at a time.This cutter is not for heavy duty purposes but it does work really well!

This paper cutter will cut any size paper from a post card to 12 inches. It will not cut a sheet 8 1/2 x 14 inches in the 14 inch direction. If you wish to cut in the short edge, no problem.

I would not recommend it but it might work. The blade is sharp enough but you risk the cards slipping a little and then you edges will look bad. I do this to photographic paper but I can cut three manually about as quick and three stacked. Then I don't have to worry about any waste. Cut one card badly and the time it takes and the cost of loosing one card and your better off cutting one at a time. This is a great little cutter and I find a use for it almost every day. I don't know what I would do without it. It's one of the best buys on Amazon. Good luck, I hope this has been helpful. Robert Wallace I would not recommend it but it might work.

Yes, it does. I use it for my scrapbooking supplies and the 12x12 paper fits with no problem.

In my opinion, I wouldn't think so. I don't think they would stay sharp after constant use nor would they cut cardstock very cleanly if cutting more that one sheet at a time. (I also happen to scrapbook)

Hi. I would not recommend it. I use a good hand cutter instead but it could be used if you wanted too, although it will be hard on the battery and cutters... ELLA
