Can you use 8 1/2" paper even if it only cuts 8" or would you need to trim your paper to 8"?

The cutting mat can be used for a 8 1/2" piece of paper, but the machine won't cut into the extra half inch.

You would have to trim standard 8 1/2 x 11 paper whether folded vertically or horizontally.

If you put the paper into the cutter with the longest side of the paper parallel to the cutter arm (wire), it will accommodate only about 10" length. Of course if you put the 8.5" side into the cutter, it fits very nicely, fitting tightly against the top glide.

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.

Yes just cut the sides to the size you want. I have found when I use these dies the card is actually not long enough. So I add paper to both sides.

No wories, it will be longer than that so you can cut/trim it to your desired length. Mine was cut to 8 inches.

No I don't think so. I have not tried it of course but I'm confident it's not sharp enough for that kind of cutting. Thick paper is fine.

I have only used the 1/2 inch punch and it only reaches about an inch or so into the sheet. I assume the 3/8 inch punch is larger, but it only reaches as far as the end of the punch, which looks to be about 2 or so inches. I hope that helps.

depending on the thickness (like card stock) you can run 2 but I use one to make sure I have a clean cut regular paper 2 will cut cleanly if you are using a thin lit die a piece of waxed paper over it gives you a clean cut I love mine and use it all the time it's the best investment I've made for my scrap booking and card making

It's paper so you can, but I would be careful not to cut too much. You might want to practice with a piece of paper and make a fan. Use it as a test run and see how it changes after cutting it.

I just measured mine--it is 5 x 7. So, if you indeed have 6 x 8, I would suggest making sure that you select to print 5x7, centered on 6x8. then you can trim 1/2" on each side, if necessary.

I scanned the manufacturer manual. They did not say anything about that, and I don't know the answer. Therefore, I would only use the 4 3/8 blade.

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.

It depends on your cut, and make sure its not that thick in diameter.8 inches long, diameter should no thicker than a pencil.

I do not understand your question, I use AL18P for paper 11x8.5 and Laminating Pouches 9x11.5 I do not cut document or film, I leave 1/8" of plastic. Depend what job you do.

Yes, you can cut 12x12 card stock or invitations. I use it a lot for cutting card stock. The orange strips you see are the rulers and have measurements to the 1/8" marked. There are some markings in the other direction, but not like the orange strips. When I have a measurement on the long side that isn't marked, I just put a piece of masking tape or post-it to mark it. This cutter works great. I had one like it for over 20 years before I had to replace it. Consumables: 45mm rotary blade which is easy to replace and the cutting strip which lasts a long, long time and can be turned over, too.

We didn't cut it and used it full length as to make a nice cut, the home-use scissors or cutter may not do the best job. If you don't bother with the finishing of the cut, both scissors and cutter should work.
