Let's start our review with the Zoomyo OC500 cutter combining successfully performance of a rotary trimmer and a guillotine cutter. The obvious advantage of this tool over many others, and also the reason why we gave it high rates, is that it separates easily and can be used as a trimmer and a guillotine by two people performing different jobs. The cutter has an easy-to-read measurement metric and inch scales and layout lines, enabling users to cut not only stacks of paper but also photos and other things that require accurate cuts.

The blade here is positioned at a straight angle so that it doesn't come into contact with an operator's hands during use and yet makes extremely accurate cuts. The trimmer comes with two additional blades for perforated and wiggly cuts and is compatible with a number of other blades. Speaking of the cutting capacity, you should be able to cut through up to 3 sheets of paper using a trimmer, while a guillotine will let you slice through up to whole 10 sheets of paper in one pass. This all makes this cutter a versatile tool suitable for all small printing shops, offices, and other premises that need both a trimmer and a guillotine delivering professional performance.

Made of solid metal, the table of the trimmer features two metric scales, the standard format lines up to A3, and the guides for angled cutting and it also accepts other format lines, enabling consumers to crop a sheet of paper or an image to a custom size. To enhance the convenience of use, the tool enjoys a transparent plastic clamp that keeps the paper secure in place while cutting and makes it easier for users to track the line of the cut.

The tool is pretty small in size and weighs somewhere about 1 kilo, which makes it convenient to transport and use in remote locations. The manufacturer covers the trimmer with a 2-year guarantee.

The rubber arm of the blade provides a firm and comfortable grip during use, while the rubber feet at the bottom of the trimmer prevent the tool from skidding when it is placed on a tabletop.
