Rotatrim Monorail Series 26 Inch Professional Rotary Paper Cutter & Trimmer (RCMON26) - Perfect for Office, Crafting, and Scrapbooking Projects

First I had a plastic Fiskars rotary cutter. The design was terrible and cuts were wobbly. Then I got a Dahle rotary cutter. It made nice, clean cuts but the side rails were crooked and thus all cuts were inaccurate. The top deck was also very small so cutting anything with a side longer than 6 inches. After struggling pointlessly for two years I gave in and decided to make an INVESTMENT in a high-quality rotary cutter. The RotaTrim Monorail ss that cutter. The Monorail series is Rotatrim's "budget" model line-up. There are more plastic parts and the cutting head is plastic and guided by a single yet sturdy square pipe. The deck is heavy and solid and can measure cuts up to 12" deep and 13" wide. The side rail is properly aligned right out of the box and the included "cursor" is adjustable and allows for quick, accurate, and repeatable cuts. This cutter is also completely serviceable with replacements available for ALL parts! I initially considered this to be "expensive" and one reason that i purchased the less expensive Dahle. But I wasted so much time and plenty of paper struggling to maintain accurate cuts, and even more time with a ruler and pencil drawing cut guides! The Rotatrim is already saving me so much time and effort in that respect.
