Overall, this cutter is sturdy and appears to be durable. My only issue is that the grid is in centimeters and doesn't align with the edge rulers (so lining up cuts can be a bit tricky).

One thing to check: when we received our cutter, the edge guides were misaligned causing them to be out of square with the cutting edge. They probably shifted on their rivets during shipping. A little adjustment and that issue was resolved.

Otherwise, a nice product. (Posted on 3/15/10)
