Abstract
A rotary paper trimmer for cutting sheet material and method of using the trimmer is disclosed. The rotary paper trimmer has a base, a pressure pad, and a blade holder assembly. The pressure pad has a guide rail and a gear track attached to its upper surface. A blade holder assembly has a outer shell slidably attached to the guide rail, a shaft rotatably attached to the shell, a circular blade attached to the shell and adjacent a lateral edge of the base, and a gear attached to the shaft. As the blade holder assembly is slid on the guide rail the gear engages with the gear track and rotates the shaft and circular blade to cut sheet material inserted between the pressure pad and base.
