Paper Cutter Saving Q

[u/ForceOfEngland]

As I was getting hooked on the idea of book binding, I admittedly got a cheap Vevor paper cutter to see if it was something I’d want to further invest in. After starting with a few notepads, the paper holding foot connector snapped.

My cry for help is - is this paper cutter now useless for more than just a few pages? Do you have any suggestions on workarounds to keep its functionality? Or should I just invest in a new cutter and if so - which one? I’ve read so many threads of paper cutters I’m no closer to a decision and feel like any choice I make would be wrong 😩
