Yes, it is precise, however the user's technique can have a significant effect for better or for worse. I bought this to replace an aging paper cutter in my office that had lost its edge. Everyone was impressed at how good this one was. As with any paper cutter it is important to not cut too many pages at one time. I would buy this one again, it is the best paper cutter I have ever used outside of a graphic arts studio.

DahleVANTAGE TRIMMER 15 IN

Q: Maximum cut size? One reviewer says this cutter will not cut a full 12" (they say it 'almost' cuts 10"). Is that true? I need 11 inch cuts. Thanks!

I don't know why someone said it will NOT cut a 12x12 sheet of paper...it WILL. I put a 12x12 sheet on the cutter, and it DID cut it in half, no problem. 12" is the MAX it will cut. Some 12x12 scrapbook papers will have the little extra tear off part on it, making it a little larger than 12x12...maybe that is what they used. I bought this cutter because I make cards and other paper crafts. Basically the 12" cutter is 10 inches wide and 12 inches long. If you want a 12x12 sheet of paper to fully lay on the cutter, then buy a larger size.

Q: Minimum cut size? I heard that this cutter would not measure all the way down to 1/8", which I need to be able to do my paper quilling. Is that true?

Since I am not a crafter, I don't know how useful it would be for you. I do use it as a letter opener and can cut a sliver off the envelope top without touching the inside contents.

Q: Does the blade sharpen itself as it cuts?

This does not have a self-sharpening blade. You'd have to move up to something like a Dahle 534 which uses the Solingen Steel and well as the blade that will sharpen itself!
