Original Green Paper Trimmer
The Martin Yale paper trimmer handles up to 20 sheets per cut across a 13 by 17 1/2 inch surface. A through-hardened, self-sharpening high-carbon steel blade slices paper, mat board, cardboard, film, tissue and textiles with a lasting edge. Safety features include an automatic blade latch that locks on every stroke and a full-length finger guard. The heavy 3/4 inch wood base carries non-skid rubber feet for stability.
Build integration and workspace fit
The permanent half-inch grid and dual rulers give quick alignment without extra measuring tools. An ergonomic soft-grip handle reduces fatigue during repeated cuts. The self-sharpening blade removes the need for separate honing equipment. Non-skid feet keep the unit planted on any bench, freeing the user from clamping or bolting it down.
Ideal users and limitations
Teachers, photographers and crafters who need accurate straight cuts on varied sheet materials will value the large format and built-in safety. Offices limited to occasional letter-size trimming may find the footprint excessive. Buyers who require rotary or guillotine action for thicker stacks should look at a different cutting style.

Questions about this item
How many sheets can the trimmer cut at once before the blade dulls?

How loud or hot does the trimmer get during all-day use?
The trimmer has no motor so it runs silently and produces no heat; only the spring-assisted blade and wood base are in motion.
What surface must I already have to use this trimmer safely?
A stable, flat table or bench is needed; the 3/4" thick wood base includes non-skid rubber feet for extra stability.
