Re: Trouble Making 'Square' Paper
He would need a pretty big paper cutter. I've been wanting a large one myself, but they get rather expensive...

Re: Trouble Making 'Square' Paper
Please excuse my brand mistake in an earlier post.
The paper cutter that I recommend would be the RotaTrim Pro , the M24 or 1024 model.

Expensive, but well, well worth it .
You'll be using it long after you've forgotten about the cost.
Also, Faye Goldman has taught OUSA courses about paper cutters, and she would have more experience than I .
You can google her & find her on Facebook for contact info.

@ Arnold K.
Not too sure if I'd recommend the 54" cutter. Might be good, but as you go longer, there's more potential for deviation.
Personally, I like the 24" because it is accurate and yet portable .
It has 2 guide rails, which greatly ensure stable cuts.
For larger paper, you need a good " L " square and " T " square in conjunction with good technique, acquired over time...
I'm just guessing, but I imagine that some professionals may have a laser cutter, which cannot be had for a pittance ...
The point is, that cost is relative.

That almost seems like cheating...
