I was initially hesitant to buy this cutter because of all the reviews saying it was inaccurate- however I managed to get it at a heavily discounted price (down to around 20 bucks!) and didn't initially need it for super detailed work, so I decided to give it a try!The green bar is there for your safety so your fingers don't get too close to the blade- many people have said it was this piece that made it difficult to use because it made it hard to see where you are cutting, but if you instead try to measure to the edge of the silver metal area beyond the green bar, that's where the blade hits. As long as you measure to that you get fairly accurate cuts. You should probably position yourself so you're looking at it from the top down to get the best cut, you won't be as accurate sitting rather than standing. It's also so lightweight that you're probably better off standing anyways.I'm looking forward to using this to trim my zines!
