What is the maximum width paper size that it will cut? (that is the actual maximum length of rotary travel) Can I trim a 13" x 19" lengthwise to 18" L

The maximum length of travel of the rotary blade is 12-inches. So the answer to your question is no, you'll come up short by an inch :-( The platen length is 12-3/16ths of an inch so it would not even be possible to put the object to be cut in, cut, and reverse the object on the platen to finish the cut.

I agree that the maximum effective cutting area is 12" in either direction.

The maximum width is 12 inches. The actual cutting platform is just a hair shy of 12 1/4 inches.

The black fixed horizontal guides (perpendicular to the cutting rotary blade) at the top and bottom are 12 inches apart, so that's the maximum size of the paper you could lay flat on the paper cutter. The rotary wheel itself would cut a little longer (about 12-1/4 inches) but you would have to wedge your paper in from the opposite side (not on the flat guide, but from the blade side on the right) for that, so it would only work for a narrow strip. This is an excellent paper cutter, but it's limited to the 12 inch width.

The instructions do not indicate that there is a minimum size it can be cut to, they just instruct to cover the exposed edges of the trimmed pad in electrical tape. Hope this helps

Does anyone know of a trimmer that will cut longer lengths than the maximum 18mm that is shown here. I've noticed that other trimmers max out at 18mm as well?

I do not believe this cutter could do the job. There are mat board cutters that do a great job...hand held and use an xacto blade and are economical. If you want a rotary paper cutter, get one of the Fiskar.

It can be cut to size. The question is do you want to set up a system for removing it and rolling it out, or are you willing to move it manually. How you cut it will be determined by which of those you intend. But it should work very well.

You can cut it to any width you want. If you're going too much smaller, you might look at buying individual pieces to save some cost. I was very happy with how adaptable the system was.

You can cut it to whatever size you want. I think they mean maximum size when they say that.

It has a slider along the top where you insert your pages to be a guide. You can move it over and do a smaller size no problem. You'll just cut your combs or purchase smaller ones. It does an 8.5x11 sheet laminated. So the longest is probably about 11.5" or 12".

I'm sure you could, Paul. I'm just saying that any quilter would have a heart attack that you would want to cut paper with a rotary tool! :-) It is very sharp though, so I'm sure it would do what you want. Just don't expect to use it on fabric after that!

The width is actually !.25". It should not be notched or trimmed, as this will probably cut the wire grid inside of pad.

Total width is 13 inches. Max cut is 18 15/16ths you can cut any circle you want down to 2 1/4 inches although I wouldn't use it for anything under 6". Just keep in mind that anything larger then a 1/4 bit will throw off the scale. Multiple passes I stead of one cut is always a good idea with thicker materials. On the Dewalt side I would assume yes but worst case I sure it could be adapted or modified to work. Great jig!

Mitchell, I am not sure of the maximum width this saw will cut. I know that we were cutting 6" x 4" angle in it with the corner of the angle in the vertical position. The rear "vise" section of the saw is adjustable forward and backwards to allow for larger pieces of steel. I can check it tomorrow and get back to you. I do know that this is one kick*** saw and am very pleased with it. I use another saw in my shop that I cut wider plate so this is why I am not sure about the maximum width. I will get back to you.

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.

She has the Cricut Expression, You should have specs with the machine to let you know if you can handle the size. I just looked up your machine and it does say 12 in x 24 in cutting capability. Sorry but I looked up the wrong machine. All I can find on your machine is 12 x 12. Sorry for misinformation.

Hi, just took the measurements for you. The width is 21 1/2, the depth is 13 3/4 and the height at the highest point is 3 3/4. the total cutting distance would be around 16 1/2 end to end. This is a smaller version of rotatrim that I have had for many years and it is one of the best pieces of equipment I own. Hope this helps, Barbara

It will be almost impossible to do with this model. The rotary blade operates on a track and it is protected by the guide. I would look elsewhere.

I bought this unit in Feb 2010, and from the dimensions given on Amazon (23.1 x 11.5 x 2.8 inches), it sounds like it should. Fact is, it won't. The best you can do is 18". I believe those dimensions include the packaging. Still, I like the unit, and have another cutter for my longer length cuts. Sorry for the news, but I hope it helps you make your decision.
