I was about to buy a Challenge even though it was too big for my purposes. I just wanted something that worked! Your blog has helped me tremendously, and saved me over $200, which of course I will now go out and spend, immediately, on some wood type. You should be getting a commission from the XD folks!

The higher the paper stack and the wider the paper, the more strength is needed to cut. This cutter is good for hobby or occasional use. If you are cutting lots of stuff every week you'd be better off with a more professional cutter. Good luck!

I want to cut 110LB cardstock for business cards. (10-up on letter index.) Is It easy to cut Biz cards? Is it a guillotine? Do I need a lot of arm/body strength to use it? I appreciate your help here. I am sooo interested. I want to cut 110LB cardstock for business cards. (10-up on letter index.) Is It easy to cut Biz cards?

You need to adjust it. All you do is flip the cutter over and you'll see 2 screws holding the ruler together, loosen the screws and level your ruler. hope this helps. alex Hi Hijiri,

sometimes the ruler is not straight. You need to adjust it. All you do is flip the cutter over and you’ll see 2 screws holding the ruler together, loosen the screws and level your ruler.
hope this helps.

I thought I was putting too much paper so I tried fewer (like 3 papers - Lettra 110 lb cotton papers) but it's still doing the same... Is there any trick that you know of to cut it straight?! Thank you so much for your help!! Hijiri Hi again-
