A Paper Cutter You’ll Fall in Love With

At the All Things Silhouette Conference, I met up with Kelly from CutterPillar and they sent me home with one of their paper cutters to try out and share with Cutting for Business readers. After using it for a few weeks, I can confidently say that the CutterPillar Crop is replacing my old Fiskars guillotine cutter.

RIP Fiskars

Why I Love the CutterPillar Crop

The CutterPillar team sent me home with the smaller of their two cutters – the CutterPillar Crop. As you can see, it’s footprint is only about half of my old Fiskars.

The CutterPillar Crop has a light along the blade so that you can see EXACTLY where it will cut. It’s battery operated and an LED, so I doubt that it will ever burn out.

The CutterPillar Crop will cut up to 5-7 sheets of paper at the same time. It’s accuracy is great and it will cut tiny edges without bending the paper.

The CutterPillar Crop isn’t just for paper, it cuts vinyl great, too!

In contrast to my guillotine paper cutter, the CutterPillar Crop is gear driven and the blade slides back and forth across a bar. While it’s moving, the rotary blade is actually being sharpened against the edge of the cutter. Unlike my old Fiskars, I won’t need to sharpen it! Also, since the blade is encased – it will be harder for me to cut myself.

I wholeheartedly recommend this cutter to Silhouette Cameo or Cricut small business owners and crafters. You can purchase a CutterPillar Crop here or view the larger CutterPillar Pro ABS here.
