Incredible that in the 4 years since this video went live the price of this cutter on Amazon has gone up to $220.99

How many sheets does it take before the blade needs changing? Is possible to sharpen the blade by bringing it to a professional?

Oh my goodness, 3 yrs later and this is the best video on the WRMK cutter brands. It helped me a lot. I was looking for updated videos from you as they now have a third trim & score with a bigger cutter handle. I do not see where you posted in while. I pray that you are doing well and that we will see your work again soon! 🎉❤

Did you ever find the replacement blades for your older version? I just ordered for the new model and received the older ones That was my mistake. Found them on Amazon.

Thank you for the demo of the differences.

Thanks for this review. Still, this many years after you posted this video, it is hard to find a review for this item from a non CM demonstrator.

Any idea of how long the blades last? I just got mine & cut about 1000 pages and it must be dull cause its crunching the papers when cutting

Thank you for doing that video. I love my paper crafting! I'm a senior citizen and know the day is coming that I'll have to go into a care facility and if anyone thinks I'll go quietly and leave my beloved crafty past time behind, well they just started a war! But I have started looking into what things could I take and save space, and have wondered if I should get one of those as my current tools have been well used. and some are needing replacement. Appreciate you did this.

well done! thank you very much!!

Thank you. Good job.

Just bought one for $79 at Michael’s and used their 40% coupon.

I found a used one at Goodwill for $6. All I had to do is clean it up. It is a great little machine.

Where can I get the blades for the newer one?

Try placing chipboard at bottom of trimmer and bring blade downward, that way chipboard wont move

How do you get the measurements aligned accurately?

I'm considering purchasing a second hand fiskars rotary bypass trimmer but its damaged according to the advertisement clear peices at the side of the smudge guard are damaged and so don't hold it in place based off of your trimmer does there seem to be a way to resolve this?

What gauge board were you cutting there?

Thank you I really needed this video today. I was confused about these differences and now I am clear. Thank you!!

Thanks!!

how clean is the cut? I cant find anywhere about this issue. How its cutting ltes say 10-15 piece of paper with weight of 300+ gramms?

Aw gee wilikers!!!!! 😑 SO, ME, the fool, bought the opened and used 'close out' older model for 20 bucks AS IS. AND the salesperson so nicely helped me get a 2 pack of new blades for it...(10 bucks) only to find out JUST NOW that they don't work on the older model!!! My blade needed changing but I couldn't get it out. Then I FINALLY found your video. Thanks for the review. No wonder they were so happy just to get rid of it and not even tell me to not even bother to buy the replacement blades!!! Sheesh! 😡

Thank-you Mr. Panda! My written directions were all in Chinese or some other Asian language and so I had no clue from HFS how to operate this wonderful guillotine. Because of your suggestion I easily slid off the bottom black edgers and could add my feet (which do keep the guillotine from sliding). I easily cut the edgers down just a bit with a kitchen shears and reapplied them. Thanks for suggesting that. Your presentation is friendly, low-key, and informative. thnx.

Great review.

looking to cut text blocks thanks for the info.

You could show how to change the blade

I bought this a few years ago to make inserts for my ring planner. When I cut a lot of paper, it shifts, even with the pressure foot tightened. As a result, the top half has an accurate measurement, but the bottom is a few millimeters off. When I have the paper flush against the back, the pressure foot damages the paper while cutting. I stopped using it. Does anyone one else have the same problem?

I realize this video is a couple of years old but as I only purchased the same oldest model a month ago then discovered I didn’t buy the same model as another well-know crafting KZfaqr, I found this video. I’m in 🇨🇦 so I, too, can’t seem to find blades. I emailed We R Memory Keepers and they assured me they do still make replacement blades. Anyone looking for them might want to reach out to them for help to find in your location. I’m awaiting a reply for where here I might be able to get some. Yes, there’s certainly “planned obsolescence” as someone commented, but I am happy that companies make improvements that work or make sense - as long as they still support/supply needs for older versions. I’m guessing The Paper Panda isn’t vlogging here anymore since no new videos since last year???

Hi, this is my first time purchasing a WR memory keepers trim and score board. I did use a coupon and it was on sale! Lucky shopping day. The Martha Stewart trimmer I was using was ineffective on so many levels that I was frustrated every time I used it. I am going to buy blades every time I go to my craft store, so when they stop making them I will have a supply. Unfortunately, that happens way too often. Thanks for the demo and useful tips. Have a blessed day!

Fiskars do have a fabric cutter which I find to be excellent.

Just found your video I would li,e to see the area at the 5 inch and the transition to the pull out arm. Alot of the cutter's don't have measure like 5 1/4 and that is one I usually use alot or even 5 1/2 . It is lost in the jump down area to the arm. I hope I explained my problem good enough. Thankyou

This is a great idea. I plan to make one. Thanks for sharing.

Great video, thanks!

Can you cut through 24 point cardboard?? Say a sheet of 40 is there a sheet of 40 cardboards about 2" high

Do I add an inch when measuring across to cut with the solid silver pc on the cutting plate?

Do you add an inch to include the width of the solid silver peice when measuring?

I have what you call the new version. Didn't know they had an old version. Learned something new. Thank you. Also have you tried scoring from bottom up? It does help. Also I find it easier to cut as well from the bottom up, less paper slipping.

less talk more do..terrible review

Excellent explanation and demonstration - thank you so much! I got mine today and am looking forward to using it now. :D

Thanks for the review. I mostly make a2 cards and I don't recommend this trimmer for a2 cards. The 5 and 3/4 line, which is essential for a2 cards, is nowhere to be found 🥴 it works great for other things though

Since you specifically ask, re 1:55/2:00/2:06/2:13 - half of a (US) "Letter" (8.5x11") sized sheet of paper can be variously called Memo, Statement, Mini, Invoice, Stationary, or Half Letter, or 5.5x8.5" (I don't know the relative frequency of these names; they're what's listed on the wikipedia entry for Paper_size -- I know I saw a document yesterday that mentioned Statement, though). That's _approximately_ equivalent to A5, but annoyingly different in that it changes the aspect ratio (0.772727... for 8½/11, 0.6470588... for 5½/8½), whereas the ISO A-series sizes don't change aspect ratio when cut in half (always 1/√2 (~0.7071), or just √2, if one divides the long size by the short, instead of the short by the long as I've been doing) -- which is super handy! If I've got a PDF made for A4 (though rough equivalent in the ISO A-series sizes to Letter), I can "impose" it into a booklet made to be folded in half and presented as A5, or even folded and/or cut smaller to present as A6, and the aspect ratio just keeps on staying the same. It's great. A2 would actually be 4 sheets of A4, so roughly equivalent to double the US "Tabloid" (or "Ledger"; either way, 11x17") size, for which I don't know of a "name", but it's sometimes called "ANSI C" size, which is 17x22". (I've actually switched at home to using A4 (again, approximately similar to Letter) for most things... but, it's annoying in certain occasions where dealing with Letter-based stuff that really cares about the size, so... I keep some Letter around, too, and use it for some things. If I could encourage a trend of other Americans switching to the metric sizes, that'd be amazingly cool. It's Just So Much Better[tm]. ;) ... though I know, switching is hard. The more of us that do it, though, the easier it'll become!) Anyway, thanks for the cutter review!

Thank you very much for tutorial 😊. I recently purchased this cutter and it is brilliant .. the only thing is when I trim my notebooks the edges are jagged (only on edges of the cardstock) the paper cuts great but its scratching the edges of my card. Do you have any advice? Hope you don’t mind me asking. Thanks again

Thanks for the demo. I’m looking at purchasing one and it’s great to see it in action!

I'm surprised you kept the WRMK version 1 when your review showed your WRMK version 2 is way better and has replacement blades available?? If it were me I'd sell or donate the version 1.

Oh wow they really improved it, huh?! Thank you!!! I need a paper trimmer and there's a huge sale at my Joanne's right now so been eyeing this. From videos on paper trimmers I hear having measuring and room for 12" x 12" and a scoring option and reasonably portable/compact/light are great things to look for! I see some are like $98 so this is way, way easier on my budget with me preparing my day planner shop. I imagine this can't cut chipboard but that can come later.

I just purchased this at Joanns with a coupon. Thank You! For all of the information that’s very clearly explained.

I think it is the most obnoxious thing a company can do. Forcing people to buy their new product so they can make more money, it's called greed.

The Creative Memories trimmer for me has been so disappointing. No matter what I try I cannot cut a straight line nor can I cut down a 12 x 12 in 3 equal 4inch wide strips.

i JUST GOT THE SAME OLD VERSION AND MY FIRST CUT, MAYBE I JUST NEED TO PRACTICE ?

What is the minimum size that it can cut do you think? I’m looking out for a paper cutter which will cut at least 1 inch 2 inches as a minimum. Do you think it can do the job? I hope to get a reply from you. Thanks a lot for this video.

Thank you I would get it even without the coupon. The nearest craft store in 86 miles one way. I live right by the Beautiful Pacific Ocean in Crescent City CA. It is a very small town. The only way you can get it it is. Three different ways is by going over a river. The other way is by boat or flying 🤔 😕 😩
