paper cutter

Blade for pages

A paper cutter is a tool for cutting paper in straight lines.

The simplest kind is a flat board with a hinged blade that slices down onto a ruled surface.

Larger versions use a rotary blade that slides along a track.

Paper cutters range from small desktop models for trimming photos to industrial machines that cut thick stacks: The office paper cutter needs a new blade.
