GBC SmartCut S618pro Rotary Trimmer Review

GBC is know for making high-quality document finishing devices including binding machines, paper shredders, and so on. They even make great rotary trimmers that can help you cleanly cut all of your documents. One such product is the SmartCut S618pro, which is one of the better rotary trimmers on the market. Here’s what makes this product stand out.

• The S618pro has a pretty good cutting capacity for a rotary trimmer. It’s capable of trimming up to 15 sheets of paper at a time, so it’s good for small and medium-sized jobs. This cutting capacity is based on 20 lb. bond paper, but you’ll able to be able to cut some thinner cardstocks, photographs, and laminated items. Just be aware that you won’t be able to cut as many of them at a time due to their thickness.
• This trimmer can cut paper and other items that are up to 18” long. This makes it ideal for letter- and legal-sized documents as well as smaller items such as snapshots, bookmarks, and so on. It has a manual clamp to keep your items in place when you cut them.
• The S618pro has a stainless steel blade that can withstand a fair amount of use. There are replacement blades available if you find that the one included with the device is becoming dull. The blade can cut in both directions, so it’s really easy to use.
• If you want a durable trimmer, the S618pro would be a good choice. It has an all-metal base that can withstand a lot of use, so you’ll be able to use this item daily for a good period of time.
• This cutter’s base has a grid printed on it to make it easy for you to align your paper before cutting it. There are also rulers so you can measure your items if necessary. When it’s time to cut your documents, a transparent cutting guide will help you cut where you need to so you won’t need to start all over again and possibly waste paper.
• The S618pro is a bit large because it measures 30” (length) x 18.5” (width) x 7” (height). Thus, it probably wouldn’t be a good choice if you’re looking for something compact that can be stored in a desk drawer or pencil box. However, it would be perfect for offices, schools, framing shops, and more.
• This rotary trimmer comes with a one-year warranty and it’s reasonably priced.

The SmartCut S618pro is a terrific rotary trimmer which isn’t too surprising since it comes from GBC. This device offers a good cutting capacity as well as the ability to cut laminated documents. The 18-inch cutting length makes it possible to trim both large and small items, which will be very handy.

Overall, the S618pro is a pretty good rotary trimmer, so take a look at it today.
