Swingline ClassicCut Compact Guillotine Paper Trimmer Review

The ClassicCut Guillotine trimmer from Swingline is a small desktop trimmer that gives low volume users a nice option for small jobs. Here is a closer look at this machine and a list of some its strengths and weaknesses.

Strengths:

The first thing you will notice and appreciate about the Classic Cut Compact is that the base is made of a sturdy and durable plastic. A lot of paper cutters at this level seem to skimp on this detail, but the Classic Cut Compact appears to be doing what it can to give you a solid cutter in this extremely low price range.
The Classic Cut Compact has a storage tray that makes it easier to keep you supplies on hand and to store them along with the cutter itself. The cutter itself is so small that you could probably find room for it in a drawer somewhere - a big plus for small or cramped crafts rooms or offices.
For such a small machine, the cutting capacity is not bad at all at 5 sheets of 20lb paper per lift. This should be more than enough cutting power for home scrap bookers and crafters, and when coupled with the small profile and easy storability, the Classic Cut Compact makes for a good entry level guillotine cutter.
The six inch cutting length makes this a great fir if you are going to be cutting mainly smaller items such as photos, business cards, labels, and smaller pieces of paper for craft projects.
The fact that Swingline offers a one year warranty with this cutter, even though it comes in at less that twenty dollars is a nice touch.
The cutting table of the Classic Cut Compact features a handy grid and a ruler to help you make straight and accurate cuts.
The fast that this machine is a Swingline has to be considered a plus as well. This is a company that has a great reputation for making durable machines, and the have done pretty well in the case of the Classic Cut Compact of making a quality machine for a very low price.

Weaknesses/Limitations:

While the cutting width of six inches is great for smaller projects, if you are cutting longer sheets on a regular basis, you will probably want to look for a larger paper cutter.
The ability to cut up to five sheets per lift is a nice feature in a machine that you can store in a drawer. You will have to consider what types of projects you will be using your paper cutter for, however, and make an honest assessment as to whether the low price makes up for its relatively low capacity.

Not surprisingly, the things that make the Classic Cut Compact paper cutter a great fit for low volume users would probably make it a not so great match for those who need a cutter that is a little larger and more capable. There are many machines out there, including several in the Swingline family that can handle your paper cutting needs if they happen to be too much for the Classic Cut Compact.

Well Designed

A great companion to my large 12" Swingline cutter. The 6" model is handy to keep on my desk for trimming small things without having to go to the room where I keep the large one. Also the small blade is less sharp than the larger one which makes it safer, yet it still cuts perfectly well. You have to keep the blade close to the board, because if you bend it outward it will not cut but just fold the paper down, as some have reported. The divided compartment to contain things underneath is a nice touch. Swingline has maintained its reputation for good quality.

It's six inches in length which is perfect for trimming photos

Compact, portable and efficient is how I would describe this guillotine. It's six inches in length which is perfect for trimming photos, small areas of paper or any small project in general. The first one I got came in with a broken paper guide but I returned it and got the new one within a few days so it was not too much trouble. It also has a small compartment that opens in the middle and you can use that to store small trinkets or other paper items.

Great product

This is a very nice compact size for home use. I will use it quite often. Thanks.

it is brilliant! The steel "blade" cuts extremely clean and precise

do not under estimate this little thing, it is brilliant! The steel "blade" cuts extremely clean and precise. Likely one of the most useful item that I"ve ever purchased on Amazon, worth every penny! I highly recommend this!
