This was on clearance sale for $22.99 and it looked intriguing with the 3 separate cuts and the fold crease. As a crafter, I am always looking for better ways to complete my tasks. Currently, I have been making mini books to fill a true 1:6 scale bookcases that was 13” tall x 5” wide. So straight cutting all the small pages with a scissors is tedious. In the past, I have tried a cutting wheel, cutting devices similar to this without success for hitting my provided cut line. Part of the problem is lining up the supplied paper line correctly, since no hardline on device telling you exactly where it will cut or having the ruler slip.
This device also lacks a center line that would help, to line up exactly where the cut would be, which is needed both on top and bottom. But I did find the lock down flip ruler bar to be very good and the slice window narrow enough to defined the center cut area, so that I could line up my already provided line cuts. Helping to cut my LittleThingsofInterest.com LTI book kits, much faster than a scissor. 🥵
I found the preformation cut useful for a well defined crease. I was a bit surprised at how miniature the wavy cut was, which would be useful for my small projects. I cannot speak to the multi sheet cutting, in past it never worked out well, so I never do.
Overall, I am very happy with the device. I love that it came in its own well labeled storage box, since I do always store back in the original box when provided %26 when between craft projects.
So after making well over 200 mini books, both my own homemade ones and LTI book kit ones. Let alone buying all those Mini Brands books capsules various waves. Our home made foam/contact paper bookcases (all 9), were in need of a major upgrade. We also had an un told amount of stackable MB book shelves that seem to want to break apart every time the kids wanted to move them. After reviewing Esty sellers' so called 1:6 scale bookcases, I was ready to give up (most bookcases only 8-9” tall). If you wanted a true 1:6 scale 13” tall bookcase, it was well over $100. 🤢
Luckily, I found fastchas7 an eB seller who had 13 3/8 inches tall by 5 1/4 inches wide, 3D printed PLA bookcases for less than half the cost of the other seller. So, over time we been able to slowly add to our furniture collection. Making everyone happier!
Happy Crafting
