I don't make enough reeds to justify the cost of such a machine.

If I do not TAKE TIME and give my full attention, then my reed tips tend to be cut crookedly as well.

The best remedy I've found for this problem is to take as much time as possible to line up the chop before it's done, use a sharp knife (I would need a razor blade with a handle due to finger/hand nerve problems), and make as vertical cut as possible. Unless I want an offset, then I would angle the knife blade slightly.

I like the idea of the straight-edge clippers, though, and may look into that.
