Carl DC-220 15" Heavy-Duty Rotary Paper Trimmer
The manual DC-220 15" Heavy-Duty Rotary Paper Trimmer from Carl is an extremely functional cutter for home or office use. This ruggedly built trimmer can do a full day's work with its capability to cut up to 30 sheets at a time. In addition to paper, the DC-220 can handle foam board and plastic sheets - a bonus for not only business use but educational venues as well.
The trimmer is durable and stands on a firm metal base that is calibrated in 1" squares. For ease of use, the base is pre-marked with standard photo and letter-sizes. Cutting is a breeze since the magnetic paper guide holds the paper in place for precise cuts each time. This means that if you need to make a series of cuts, each one will be as exact as the previous one. Supporting the paper guide is a sturdy rail guide that also assists in holding the paper in place.
The DC-220 comes with a a nifty storage space for an extra blade and cutting mat as well as a more than respectable lifetime warranty.

Comments about Carl DC-220 15" Heavy-Duty Rotary Paper Trimmer:
The trimmer was great when I got it. It cut everything straight as expected. But then after sitting in the corner of my room, untouched, for a few months, I went back to trim something and the cut was askew. I have no idea what happened to it as I've always moved it around using both hands on the base. I have the model with a grey base and neon yellow cutting guide. Looks like the blue one is newer. I ended up contacting CARL under the warranty & they gave me an RMA to send in. It cost me $16 to ship it to them but they fixed it and sent it back in under 2 weeks time (might've been just 1 wk turnaround... I forget). Seems like the fix to the trim guide and the cutting mat strips corrected the problem. I would just suggest users to handle with care when moving it around as the trim guide/rail seems to be prone to becoming misaligned.

Comments about Carl DC-220 15" Heavy-Duty Rotary Paper Trimmer:
The cutter is so easy to use, the guideline is accurate, and the cut itself is extremely sharp. It feels substantial and looks like something that can be in a professional business office. The best cutter I've ever owned. Would recommend it highly!
Ordering from B&H was so easy, efficient, and the product arrived on time. Thank you!

Comments about Carl DC-220 15" Heavy-Duty Rotary Paper Trimmer:
Our church had used an old guillotine-style cutter for more years than I've been alive and when one of the pastors asked me to look into getting a different cutter (I personally owned a rotary), I jumped on it and did my research.
We love that it clamps down on a good-sized sheet of paper at one time and you can make multiple passes to cut without worrying about shifting. The measurement markings are clear and I love the little compartment to hold extra blades and mats.
It does take a little getting used to in that you need to lock it in place before each cut, but that really does make it more functional in the end.
I do not like that the magnetic stopper has a loose fit and therefore can be placed (or it shifts) so that it is not square to the cutting blade, but this is minor. The fact that there is a stopper is more than I find in most cutters.

Comments about Carl DC-220 15" Heavy-Duty Rotary Paper Trimmer:
I used a cheaper trimmer for a while and got real frustrated. This trimmer is great for photos and more. Holds things down tight and cuts clean and straight. Very easy to use and I had no problem cutting up to 6 photos at a time. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
