scott_jones4 Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 Hello there, <p> Could I obtain some feedback from the group on the Rotatrim paper cutter Mastercut II that I may use for trimming photos and mounting tissue. Is this the best product for precision cuts and if not are there any other ideas? Thanks for any help that you can give me! <p> Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_walton1 Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 For doing the above, they are great... even up to 2 ply mount board they aren't bad but anything thicker... The Master is self sharpening and does a nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_billups1 Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 I agree with Scott Walton. The Rototrim is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_buckels Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 The Rototrim's very good. Real precise, clean cuts. -jeff buckels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_jones Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 Scott, Another satisfied owner of the Rotatrim Mastercut II chiming in. Very precise cuts on prints, prints with mounting tissue, and unexposed enlarging paper in the darkroom. Sharp enough a cut to leave a reserved border around the print when overmatting. My one little difficulty is that once the work is placed on the board and under the guide, it's difficult for me to tell exactly where the cut will be made, but I'm still pretty new to this and expect to get better with practice.

scott_walton1 Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Nick, I have found that by cutting with a lightbox underneath works like a charm. You can see the edge VERY easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cem_topdemir Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Yes, it is absolutely the best thing on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_jones4 Posted July 11, 2001 Author Share Posted July 11, 2001 Wow, I think this is the only time I have seen a unanimous opinion on this site! Thanks for all the help; now I just have to decide which length of cutter to order.... <p> Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_billups1 Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 Scott, <p> My recomendation would be to buy a Rototrim that is the next size up from the size you think you will need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reinhold_schable Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 Scott: You'll never regret buying a Rotatrim. A tip...There's a small metal deflector under the blade housing, intended to carry away the trimmed piece. If you remove it, (youv'e gotta be a bit mechanically inclined), you can slit in both directions. Slit quality is identical, either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
