The other day I decided to start looking for a paper cutter online.

Paper cutters are pretty handy to have when you’re in my position.  I’m a writer and a doll collector, and I have written a short booklet that I sell to doll collectors on how to restring vintage dolls.  Since I print and bind it as a half-size booklet, I need to have a way to quickly, efficiently, and professionally cut the pages in half.

For a while I used one of those traditional guillotine cutters, which my office had when I worked full time.  It worked really well — the cuts it made were very smooth, although I did have to hold the pages still so they wouldn’t move while I was cutting.  Now that I am self-employed, though, I need to get my own paper cutter.

I love the labor-saving electric paper cutters, but of course they are really expensive.  So I’ve been looking for another traditional guillotine cutter online.  I’ve found several used ones on places like Craigslist, discount office supply websites, and comparison shopping websites.  I’m confident that I should be able to get a paper cutter for my home office at a good price!
