Paper Cutter Safety
Guillotine paper cutters have developed something of a dangerous reputation. Because they are equipped with extremely sharp blades and exert substantial force, they are effective in getting things done. The same features that make paper cutters effective also make them dangerous. Because of these things, accidents involving these paper cutters do occur from time to time. Paper cutters are available in more styles than you can possibly imagine. There are literally hundreds of styles of available. Not all paper cutters are built the same-especially when it comes to quality and safety. If you are considering purchasing this type of paper cutter, you can read this article for some information on critical safety features of the guillotine paper cutter.
Blade Guard
The blade guard is, by far, the most important safety feature available on guillotine cutters. Surprisingly, many people remove the safety guard when they use the cutter. While the guard may be a little obtrusive, working without fingers is far more troublesome. Sometimes the blade guard is a metal bar positioned close to blade, but superior blade guards are made of plastic and will prevent users from getting their fingers near the blade on either side of the paper cutter.
Blade Latch
The blade latch locks the blade down when you are not using the cutter. It is usually a small wire that simply hooks over the handle. Sometimes it's a piece of metal connected to the bottom of the handle. The purpose of the blade latch is to keep the blade down so that no one accidentally or impulsively grabs, strokes, or touches the blade. Obviously any of these could result in a serious and potentially life-altering injury that could have been prevented by simply exercising some caution and common sense.
Tension Spring
All guillotine paper cutters should be equipped with tension springs. The tension spring is attached to the back of the blade and is engineered to prevent the blade from rushing down when the handle is released. Guillotine cutters without this spring live up to their name, guillotine, and are very, very dangerous. You should never operate a paper cutter that has no tension spring. It is literally an accident waiting to happen. No paper cutting task is worth losing a digit over. If your cutter has no tension spring, put the cutter in a safe and secure location until the tension spring can be replaced.
The biggest single factor in guillotine paper cutter safety is the user. There is simply no substitute for good common sense. Do not use a paper cutter when you are distracted or when you cannot give your full attention to the task at hand. Even paper cutters with safety features can still cause accidents. The paper cutter is a great tool because of its powerful blade and ability to easily cut through piles of paper. For the very same reasons it is a good tool, it is a dangerous one. Always exercise caution when using a paper cutter and do not use one that isn't equipped with safety features.

How to cut circle images with a circle cutter?
Hi there,
I am making circle wooden pendants for necklaces and have purchased/downloaded ready-made digital images that match the size pendants I'm making. The digital collage images come about 20 to a 8 1/2 x 11" sheet of paper. Once I got the images, I thought the best/easiest way to cut out each 1 1/2" circle would be to purchase a 1 1/2" circle cutter from the craft store, then line up each circle with the cutter and "Voila'" ; however, it has been extremely difficult, if not impossible to line up the circle images with the cutter to get them to cut out perfectly... Ughhhh!! Does anyone know how this is done? Or if it can be done? I'm trying to avoid having to cut out each image carefully with a scissors. (I will be decoupaging the images to the wooden circles for necklace pendants...)
Thank you!!
Jenny
Hi Jenny! I have had to cut many circles with the circle cutter, but recently found it much easier to buy the large hole punchers at Michael's Crafts...I have 1", 1 1/2" and 2" and I think they go up to 3". The back side is clear or you cal take the clear cover off and see the actual paper and line up the design perfectly and then you just squeeze the punch. Its not like a regular hole punch, it is much easier on your hand...I just did 160 in no time!
