Akiles Diamond-1 Desktop Corner Rounding Machine with 1/4" Blade

I was so excited to get this in the mail, and the excitement definitely didn't wane after a few go arounds. The machine is very easy to use, and can stack a lot of paper! I use it for my business cards, which I have thousands of. It takes no effort, and there's practically no strength needed for this piece of machinery.So far, it's perfect in every way, shape, and form, and I can't wait to cut more corners~

My business utilizes corner rounders and up until the purchase of this machine, I was going through 1-2 handheld corner rounders a week from the craft store. This machine is a game changer! It cuts through laminated sheets of paper like it’s nothing, from 3mil-10mil. I did do a stack of business cards and wasn’t thrilled with the cuts, so I can’t say this is the best option for paper. For lamination, I am thrilled!

If you're looking for exact rounded corners, this may not work for you.I ordered bookmarks for sale and wanted to round the corners. Once I figured out how to adjust the side plates, it worked pretty well but I noticed not every cut is consistent. The curved cut doesn't align with the straight edge of my bookmark and sometimes needs to be trimmed further by my single paper corner rounder. You can't really double cut the same sides if it looks under cut and you try again so I still rely on the single paper corner rounder to fix errors. It is really powerful and cuts through 40 at a time with ease though.

Ended up returning. Cuts aren’t consistent and had to hand trim over half.

Nice product, easy to get set up from box. I have the die that comes in the box - I think it's a .25 radius, but I can't remember. It's your basic one, I believe.Rarely makes a seamless curve - but nothing I've used so far can do that perfectly and consistently anyway as it depends on how you have the paper in the cutting area and the angle of the corner of your paper (the more precise the 90* angle on your paper - the better it will look). Will be purchasing different dies to cut various radii or shapes at some point.I believe I've cut up to 40 sheets at a time, but didn't count.

I’m attempting to use this to cut notebooks consisting of 16 sheets of 32lb paper and 2 sheets of 65lb cardstock. Right out of the box the blade was too dull - I’m not getting a clean punch, some of the sheets are more ripped than punched. I couldn’t find a way to contact the seller from my order info, so unless someone sees this review and sends me a replacement die, I will be returning. I need a more industrial corner rounder for my stationary business, and this one is quite disappointing.

The tool seem ok but the blade doesn't cut at all. I had to order an other one. Happily Amazone has a great consumer service so theyrefunded the blade included within the rounder. So a generous 2 stars for Alkiles and a 5 STARS FOR AMAZONE !!!

I use this to cut heavy photo paper after laminating with 5 mill. Usually I cut 20 or more sheets at a time with no problems. Before buying this I read a review that said the blue plastic parts wear out fast. I haven't changed one yet and I"ve cut a little over 1800 48# paper laminated with 5 mil sheets on 2 corners so about 3600+ corners.Cutter has no sign of wear yet.
