MBM Kutrimmer 1038 Paper Cutter Review

A guillotine paper cutter is great to use when you need to quickly cut a lot of sheets at once. One device that makes this possible is the MBM Kutrimmer 1038. Here's an in-depth look at this cutter so you can decide if it's the right one for you. Read on....

• The 1038 has one of the best cutting capacities you could ever hope to find. It has the ability to slice through as many as 50 sheets of 20 lb. bond paper at a time. Because of this, you'll definitely be able to finish up your cutting job in no time.

• This trimmer can be used to cut paper that's just over 14 inches long. You'll be able to use it for smaller documents, as well as ones that are letter- and legal-sized. If you'd like to trim oversized paper, the 1038 comes with paper support that folds up when you're not using it.

• The 1038 is made from high-quality components including Lexan plastic for the blade guards and Solingen steel for the blade itself. (The other parts of the device are made from metal for durability.) Solingen steel of one of the best metals available and it really makes the blade both strong and sharp. The blade can be removed from the cutter and sharpened, so you'll be able to get years of use out of it.

• This cutter is safe to use, thanks to its Lexan blade guards. These guards help keep your hands away from the blade so you can have a safe cutting experience. Also, there are rubber feet on the bottom of the trimmer so it won't move around unexpectedly when you're using it.

• The1038 has cutting guides printed on the base that make it easy to measure your paper properly. These guides have both standard and metric measurements for your convenience. When you're ready to cut, you can make sure the sheets stay in place by using the attached paper clamp.

• If you're concerned about this trimmer take up too much room, you don't need to worry. It has dimensions of 23" (depth) x 15.5" (width) x 10" (height) so it should fit on your work rather easily. Also, it weighs just under 30 pounds, so it won't be difficult to move it around when the time comes.

• Finally, the 1038 is backed by a 1-year warranty. Unfortunately, the warranty doesn't extend to the blade.

Recommendation: The MBM Kutrimmer 1038 is a great choice if you're on the lookout for a cutter that can process a lot of sheets at once. A 50-page cutting capacity is simply unbeatable, unless you're looking to get a stack cutter. (Stack cutters can cut hundreds of sheets at once.) You'll also find that this device offers some great safety features and that it's really easy to get the cut you need, even if you're working with oversized paper. So all together, the 1038 is worth your consideration. Take a look at it today.
