The Paper Cutters I Tested
The [Fiskars 12-Inch Bypass Trimmer SureCut](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Fiskars+12-Inch+Bypass+Trimmer+SureCut&tag=thetestedhub-20) was my top pick. The SureCut wire shows exactly where the blade lands and the rotary blade stays sharp for months.

Frequently asked
Rotary cutters give cleaner straight lines for cardstock. Guillotines handle thick stacks better but can drift on thin paper.
I get about 500 cuts on cardstock per blade. Vinyl wears blades faster. Keep two spares on hand and rotate them.
