Judging from the reviews the quality of the Swingline Maple Guillotine Paper Trimmer's appear to vary greatly. However I brought one Swingline ClassicCut Ingento 30 Inch Maple Guillotine Paper Trimmer and the one I got is pure awesome. It is solid heavy wood not cheap plastic. The cutting mechanism is heavy steel. The calibration was good but not great. The calibration is not scientifically accurate BUT; if all you need is a good basic straight cut within reasonable parameters this cutter is for you. The cuts are nice and clean with no ragged frayed edges, The cutter mechanism feels solid throughout the full range of its cutting motion. The cutter assembly or surface does not flex or bend as you cut materials as I have seen happen with cheap cutters. The Swingline ClassicCut Ingento 30 Inch Maple Guillotine Paper Trimmer is NOT made of cheap particle board which tends to age badly, flex, de-laminate or loosen over time. This Swingline ClassicCut Ingento 30 Inch Maple Guillotine Paper Trimmer is expensive but you can see the quality materials and workmanship that justifies the higher price. The Swingline ClassicCut Ingento 30 Inch Maple Guillotine Paper Trimmer is on the slightly heavy side but not too heavy to move if needed. In a cutter a little weight is a good thing. Cuts poster board with no problem. Cuts 15 pages of normal grade paper with no problem. I create presentations for colleges and parents on autism related subjects and use the paper cutter to make question cards and ratings forms three to a sheet of 8x11 paper. I use the Swingline ClassicCut Ingento 30 Inch Maple Guillotine Paper Trimmer to cut poster-board into smaller sizes easy to carry to presentations. I cut and trime pictures to size. In every case this Swingline ClassicCut Ingento 30 Inch Maple Guillotine Paper Trimmer works as expected without issue. This was a very expensive paper trimmer but its extra large size is exactly what I needed most to get my many jobs done quickly and without fuss. I have a full life and honestly don't have time to fuss with small cheap particle board or rigid plastic paper cutters that bend flex or cut badly. We have some VERY CHEAP flimsy paper cutters at work that are a pain to work with because they aged badly. A cheap paper cutter is not a good paper cutter when new and it will only get worse over time even with minimal use. I opted to spend more for quality and I likely will not be buying another paper cutter in my life time.
