Okay,
So i was working on some pep stuff at my grandparents during spring Break, and was complaining about the mind
numbing process of cutting and scoring. When my Grandpa, suddenly shot out a suggestion.
A Rotary Trimmer. He happened to have one and let me try it.
Basically put, a rotary trimmer is for cutting,scoring,or perforating paper. It has a circular blade (like a pizza cutter) on a single Axis, attached to a small table. The Blades are changeable, and there are vast types of blades.
So i tried it out, and it was Godly,
i cut and scored a piece (like whole set of pages) that took me three days to do last time i did it,
in about 2 hours.
It worked perfect and obviously cut my time.
The cuts are perfect, the scores are perfect and fold no problem.
Here are some pictures,
This Particular table is made by Fiskars, and these things are really cheap (like $40 for a professional one)
Sorry for the blurry pictures, my camera was acting odd.
The tabled i used is the Cheap one this company makes, and it worked amazing.
These tables all pretty much are around the same price throughout companies. CARL also makes some good ones.
So if you are tired of spending tedious hours or days cutting and scoring, then invest in
one of these. They will give you PERFECT cuts and scores everytime, and will cut your
time by alot. And it's less mind numbing then doing it all by hand.
This should save money compared to buying Pens,Rulers,Razor Blades, etc. to do it all by hand.
I even tried some really complex parts on this thing and it did it flawlessy. And within 20 minutes i was really good at using it,
and had figured all the little nuiances out and how to do certain peices.
So all in all, i hope this can help other people here in the community.
It's definately worth the money, and it's WAY cheaper than the CRAFTRobo (auto cutting printer)
And it will S.Y.S (Save Your Sanity) and give you perfect Results.
Heres a link to the one i used, i found it for cheaper elsewhere,

If you do decide to get one, make sure you buy one that allows you to change ROTARY BLADES, so you can attach scoring blades, etc.
Because they do sell just cutters, but they won't work well since they cut strait and you can't decide where the blade cuts.
The one i used lets you decide when the blade goes down to make contact with the paper, so you can do precise cuts.
Hope this helps
