Sorry I have one but its not that great, but I can tell you this, Staples has a laser paper cutter that cuts through 200 pieces of paper at once, and they charge $2 a cut. It works out to be cheaper even if you need 4 cuts one for each side, then to invest in one, and I have yet to see one work really great without investing a lot of $$.. HTH

Re: recommend a good paper cutter

I have a fiskars brand guillotine cutter (you chop with the bar up and down) and used it for the 9 million cuts in my invites/stds/programs.

I've had very poor experiences with Kinkos/Staples etc and if you need to be extremely precise for design or anal retentive reasons (hey thats me) do not use them as thick stacks of paper can tend to shift when cutting. Also, if they mess anything up, theres no compensation or refund.
