Product Information
Full details
The We R Memory Keepers 12-Inch Guillotine Trimmer is designed for scrapbookers, card makers, and crafters who require consistent, professional-grade straight cuts for paper projects up to 12 x 12 inches. Its primary strength lies in its ability to slice through multiple sheets simultaneously with high precision, though users should be aware that the fixed blade design requires careful handling and periodic maintenance compared to sliding rotary trimmers.

FAQs
Can I use this to cut photos?

How many sheets can it cut at once?

Is the blade replaceable?
The blade is not intended for user replacement; it is designed to be a durable, long-lasting component.
Does it have a locking mechanism?
Yes, it includes a secure blade lock to keep the arm down when not in use.
Will it cut 12x12 cardstock?
Yes, the cutting surface is specifically sized for 12x12 inch paper.
Troubleshooting
The paper is tearing instead of cutting cleanly
Ensure you are using a swift, downward motion with the blade arm and not hesitating midway through the cut.
The cut is not square
Double-check that the paper is flush against the alignment grid edge before lowering the blade arm.
Blade arm feels loose
Check the hinge point for any accumulated paper dust and ensure it is free of obstructions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High cutting capacity for multi-sheet projects
- Clear, easy-to-read alignment grid for accuracy
- Compact footprint that saves desk space
- Reliable blade lock for safe storage
Cons
- Fixed blade is not replaceable by the user
- Takes up more vertical space when the arm is lifted
- Not intended for heavy chipboard or thick materials
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the trimmer is straightforward: simply place it on a level surface. No assembly is required. To maintain peak performance, keep the blade area free of paper scraps or debris that could interfere with the cutting action. Avoid cutting materials thicker than the recommended sheet limit, such as heavy cardboard or metal sheets, as this can dull the blade prematurely. To clean, wipe the surface with a dry cloth and ensure the blade is locked before storing it in a flat position or a dedicated slot in your craft room.
