The Premier P212X Paper Trimmer uses the classic cutting arm optimally, and features a self-sharpening blade that can slice through approximately 10 sheets at one time without any worries of dragging, pulling, or inaccurate results. The 1/2" grid cutting bed features clearly printed rulers displaying English and metric measures, and is also equipped with non-skid rubber feet that ensure cutting procedures remain safe and efficient. At 5 lbs. in total weight, it is not likely to move, but there is risk when any cutter slides during use, and this device is designed to eliminate this worrisome issue. The Premier P212X Paper Trimmer further guarantees both safety and good results through the use of an automatic blade latch, which locks during cutting operation. There are never any concerns of dangerous accidents thanks to this feature as well as the torsion spring that prevents the blade from falling when it is opened for paper alignment.The Premier P212X Paper Trimmer is sized at 12 " x 19 1/2" x 2 1/4", meaning that this trimmer is capable of easily handling smaller pages up to tabloid sized sheets of 11" x 17" as well. The design of the cutting bed also ensures that results are accurate each time. This unit is also made of patented PolyBoard that is unbreakable, which will not crack or warp over time. While this is essential to safe use and efficient cuts, it also demonstrates the all-around quality of the product. It is guaranteed to perform effectively over the long term with self-sharpening blades, a non-warping bed, and impressive safety features that eliminate risks for common injuries. If your office, copy center, print shop, or even your classroom is in need of a durable and optimally safe paper trimmer, this unit can handle up to ten pages at once. It will handle different weights and sizes, and that makes it a solid solution for many settings.
