Welcome to my binding video. Today we are looking at the Swingline SmartCut Lite Rotary Trimmer. Designed for work, home and school, the 9412 has been constructed for everyday use. Let's check it out! The 9412 makes it easy to get the cut you need. It has a transparent paper guide so that you can see where exactly you are going to be cutting. There is also an alignment grid with both American and Metric measurements. The product seems sturdy enough to endure much use and with the rubber feet on the bottom, it stays solid without slipping on your work surface. Swingline claims that you can cut up to 10 sheets of 20 pound paper, but in our test this wasn't true. It took us three passes to get through 10 sheets of paper. Perhaps 5 or 6 is really more the maximum. The 9412 is really compact so it will fit easily on any work surface or even fit into a drawer for easy storage. There are a couple of different types of blades you can use with Smartcut Trimmer. In addition to the classic straight blade, you can use perforating and wavy blades as well. These blades allow you to have the look you need for your particular project. Replacement blades and cutting mattes are easily available. With a weight of under 3 pounds and the very small size of this machine, it makes it extremely portable. The SmartCut Lite comes with a one year warranty and for a price point of under $50, it's a good buy. For more demos and reviews on this product and many more, check out mybinding.com.

Welcome to MyBinding How To videos. This video will show you just how easy it is the change the cutting blade on a SmartCut trimmer. Either SmartCut Lite or SmartCut Pro, this is quick, easy, and safe. With replacement blades in hand, you'll notice the back cover has easy instructions. To remove the old blade, simply pull off the gray cover; it slides right out. There's a small nut inside and you turn it loose, all the way off the screw. Take notice of the green little plastic handle. Remove it and you'll see that it's a magnet. Hold it by the handle and pull it out, you'll notice the magnet is holding the blade. It's very sharp, be careful. Throw the blade part away and keep the magnet. Open a new container with a new blade and use the magnet to retrieve the blade and place it back onto the machine. Turn it in place until the little plastic handle fits into the plastic notch. Replace the nut onto the screw, tightening it all the way down to the right and place the cover. And that's it, you're all done. That's easy blade changing on the SmartCut Lite. For other demos, reviews, and how tos on all things office, check out MyBinding.com.

Swingline SmartCut Lite 9412 Rotary Trimmer Review

A rotary trimmer is a must-have device if you need to quickly make the cleanest cut possible. One that can help you out is the Swingline SmartCut Lite 9412. Here’s some information about it. Be sure to read it so you can determine if this trimmer is right for you.

  • The 9412 has been designed for everyday use in a variety of environments (work, home, school, etc.). It has a 12-inch cutting length so you’ll be able to use it to cut small pieces of paper, as well as letter-sized sheets that measure 8.5” x 11”.
  • The blades you use with this device are made from stainless steel and are actually pretty strong. A blade can slice through up to 10 sheets of 20 lb. paper at once, which is okay if you’re just using the 9412 for occasional use. If you need to process larger stacks of paper on a regular basis, you might want to choose a different trimmer.
  • There are a couple of different types of blades you can use with the 9412. In addition to the classic straight blade, you can use perforating and wavy blades. These additional types of blades make it easy to give your documents the look you need, whether you preparing items for a presentation or are working on a crafting project. There are also replacement straight blades available, as well as cutting mats.
  • The 9412 is pretty compact so it will fit easily on any work surface or even fit into a drawer for easy storage. Plus, this trimmer is lightweight and weighs less than 3 pounds. It would be easy to take this device along with you if the need arises.
  • This is a pretty well-made device, especially since it’s reasonably priced. However, since most of the unit is made out of plastic, it might not be the best choice if you need a trimmer for heavy-duty use.
  • The 9412 makes it pretty easy to get the cut you need. It has a transparent paper guide so you can see where exactly you’re going to be cutting and there’s also an alignment grid with both American and metric measurements. Plus, the trimmer will stay in place when you use it because there are rubber feet on the bottom.
  • Finally, this product comes with a limited 1-year warranty just in case something goes wrong with it.

The Swingline SmartCut Lite 9412 is good for occasional use by people who want an affordable rotary trimmer. The 10-sheet cutting capacity will be fine for smaller jobs, but this definitely isn’t the device to use if you need to cut a lot of paper at once. It’s great that this cutter can utilize wavy and perforating blades so you can get creative with your work. The compact, lightweight design is also a plus and helps make this cutter really versatile. So, all together, the 9412 is a solid choice if you’re in need of a rotary trimmer for cutting small amounts of paper. If that’s the case, make sure to take a look at it today.
