Does it work well for cutting pages out of magazines? I.e. I'd like to cleanly trim whole pages from magazines as close to the binding as possible.

I imagine it would. I do think that it would cut through more than one page though. You would have to hold the magazine very flat to clear the thickness of the guards on the blade. Also there would be a "bump" as it got on and off the magazine. A single edge s razor or Xacto knife might be good also.

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

In mine, I can only load 10 staples at a time or the magazine won't close. Not designed very well if it can't take a whole strip of standard staples.

Hi There, This question had me curious, so I just tried it, and it works. Parchment paper is a little more fibrous than scrapbook paper, so it's best to use a quick snap-like punching motion to get a nice clean circle punch out, worked great for me. Hope you find this information helpful. September ~ AlteredAttic ;-)

I bought mine primarily to rip through 3/4 inch plywood, maple, birch, pine, oak, etc, and it works great. Couldn´t tell you how long the battery will last because I only cut through a couple of sheets at the time and then store it. But for my needs I am very happy with it, in fact, I don´t use the corded one anymore

Does not work well on 3 or less pages....Works great on more than that number of pages

I have never tried it personally, but this thing is amazingly sharp and strong. It can cut 250 pages of card stock or 350 regular paper, so I would imagine it must cut stickers

I got a new magazine out and played with it. Does it fit it like it probably should? No, but you can hold it in there and make it work.. It will not work as smooth and easy as on a larger mag, but it would be much easier than thumb cramps! Sorry, it took so long, but the mags just came in yesterday. Good luck

I bought hard cover and made photo book. It works well. To make strong bind use staple (personally recommend). It works better.

I use mine in a book inventory program which scans the ISBN code and fills in all the stats about the book and even presents an image of the front cover. Since each book is individually entered into the inventory, I just click on 'next book' and move on. I haven't had any reason to use it like you are asking about. I wish I could have been of more help. I'm sure the manufacturer could tell you more about the use if you can contact them. I love my scanner for what I need it for. It's so quick and easy. I'm very pleased.

I use for cutting out appliqued fabric pieces with paper backing attached. Have not cut individual paper with it. I do believe it would work.

I agree that it will cut for you. But depending on the length of the cut, accuracy may be off. I mainly cut photo paper and the blade tends to wander toward the end of the cut on 10-11" cuts. But if I hold the paper toward the end, it works good enough for me. This cutter is very lightweight, not intended for heavy work, but again, it is worth your trying it. Seems to be of good quality.

I've had mine for just over 2 weeks and have cut over 100 paperback books of approx 400 pages each- and I do all 400 pgs at the same time. Just put the book in, line it up, clamp it down and its done. it's still working perfectly. the important thing to remember is to use the clamp, as anything held under that will cut very well.

You know, I read that people had issues with turning the pages, but I don't notice it being a problem for me. The clips are there, but they can be moved and adjusted easily. If they weren't there, your pages don't stay as flat and it would be harder to read. Like most people said, you figure it out pretty quick. I usually don't even have to move them unless I am highlighting an area at the very bottom of the page.

I've used as small as ones for 10 sheets to as big as ones for 150 sheets, and I own all the comb sizes in between. The key is to empty out the tray frequently (I ruined my first one because my admin forgot to do this) and not to overload with paper while punching holes. Mine has been in active use for 2 years or so, and I'm completely satisfied with it.

I've used this with 1/4" and 3/8" combs with no problem. I've bound about 100 books (~70 pages each) at a time. The only thing is you can punch only up to 20 sheets of 20# paper at once, so it can take some time. I think that is the max capacity for tabletop models. If you punch something thick like acetate cover sheets, then do no more than 4 or 5 at a time; I tried to punch a thick stack and jammed the machine. It was difficult to disassemble and clear the mess out.

Possible I cut through some pretty thick bindings. This thing is a monster heavy duty.
