Welcome to MyBinding video. Let's have a look at the Akiles 1815, the Roll@Blade Rotary Trimmer. The Akiles Roll@Blade is carefully designed with a self-sharpening tungsten steel blade and premium quality components to guarantee effortless and professional trim. The Roll@Blade has a cutting capacity of 15 sheets of 20-pound paper in a single trim. With the fantastic grid, plenty of rulers and a slide moving rail, you can cut precisely every time. That is the Akiles Roll@Blade. For more demos, reviews and how-tos, check out MyBinding.com.
The footprint of the cutter is a lot large than I had realized. The specifications on the page are smaller than what the thing actually takes up in space. That being said, this is an incredibly precise and easy to use cutter. The plastic guide locks the paper (or other material) in place so there is no slipping. I found I could shave millimeters off of photos to get a cleaner look. 18" is a lot of cutting space that I won't use all that often but I do find there are times when something is just wider than 12" so the extra space works out well.
Rotary trimmers come in handy when you need to produce a perfectly straight cut. A device that's good for professional-looking cuts is the Akiles Roll-A-Blade 1815 Rotary Trimmer. This product has a very high-quality blade that's made from tungsten steel, as well as the ability to trim a lot more than paper. It also has several features that make cutting easy and comfortable. Let us take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of this product so you can see if this is the right cutter for your office.
Strengths:
As mentioned above, the 1815 has incredibly sharp blade that's honed from high-quality tungsten steel. The blade is self-sharpening and can withstand a lot of use. The blade is easy to guide because it slides along two poles that guarantee both accuracy and a smooth cut.
The blade is encased in a carriage that's been ergonomically molded to reduce fatigue and making the cutting experience much more comfortable. It will also keep your skin away from the blade so you don't inadvertently injure yourself.
This trimmer can cut up to 15 sheets of paper at once.
Due to its incredible blade, the 1815 can cut a lot more than just paper. It has the ability to trim items that are 2 millimeters thick or less such as cardboard, vinyl, leather, PVC, vellum, aluminum foil, plastic, and more.
The 1815 has a cutting length of 18 inches. The base measures 18" x 15" and is ideal for cutting larger items.
There are paper alignment guides that include imperial measurements in addition to metric ones. The 1815 also has an adjustable edge gauge for a super accurate cut. Plus, there's a transparent paper clamp that will keep your item in one place as you cut and allow you to see how the cutting is going.
This product comes with a one-year warranty just in case any problems arise when you use it.
Weaknesses:
Despite its ability to cut non-paper items, the 1815's 15-sheet cutting capacity isn't ideal for high-volume applications. If you need to cut more paper at once, a guillotine cutter would be a better choice.
This cutter is meant to be used on a horizontal surface, so installing it on a wall isn't recommended. Also, since the base measures 18" x 15", it will take up a fair amount of room on your work surface
