I always inadvertently nip one frame with scissors. Interested in a better solution.

Not happy with other alternatives, I have decided to give the Tonic Studios/Tim Holtz 6¼" mini guillotine cutter a try.
It's inexpensive; about $20 brand new, shipping included. I will report back on how well it works in this application.

I just tried a Matin film cutter for the first time, and it worked great. In some ways, I thought the JJC product looked nicer, but the need for USB power and spare blades meant more clutter too, and I wanted to avoid that.

I cut my first roll of film with the mini-guillotine cutter.
It's fast and not fussy to use like some other options.
IMO less handling means less chance of scratching.
I expect the large blade will stay sharp a long time.

A safe bet--I've been using the same pair of scissors for at least the last 20 years for this over a lightbox and they still work perfectly.
