Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum cutting length of the Westcott 16879 trimmer?
The trimmer cuts up to 3 inches in a single pass, making it suited for trimming photos, coupons, small labels, and craft materials.
How many sheets of paper can this trimmer cut at once?
It can cut up to 10 sheets of standard 20lb paper at a time, allowing you to handle small batch trimming jobs efficiently.
What does the translucent guard do?
The translucent guard lets you see your cutting line while keeping fingers safely away from the blade, improving both accuracy and safety during use.
Can the blade be replaced when it dulls?
The trimmer uses a steel cutting blade designed for longevity, but as a compact personal trimmer, blade replacement options may be limited compared to larger rotary or guillotine trimmers.
Is this trimmer suitable for cutting cardstock and thicker materials?
Yes, the steel blade can handle cardstock in addition to standard paper and photos, though cutting capacity will be fewer sheets at a time compared to 20lb paper.
