Just like a cardboard box taper then! I cant bring myself to be that lazy although I cant wait till they bring robots out that you can control from Witherspoons to do all your work n give um breasts n a snatch happy days!!
 
I got one about 15 years back when we did a fair bit of plastering to be honest I used it once coz I thought they were sh1te

First one I had years ago had a serrated blade so It used to shred the tape rather then cut it.
The marshalltown one just takes a normal board knife blade so the cuts are always neat.
You also have to use decent scrim aswell, cheap shite that frays would be like pulling teeth.

Yeah this thing has a serrated blade and it snags at it
 
Here's a tip for fraying tape.
When you open it take your knife and lightly cut the scrim down the side every quarter from the top to the cardboard tube on both sides of the roll.
Hope that makes sense, it works everything.

Used a tape gun couple of years ago. Was great for first roll and after that the scrim would get stuck all the time. Chucked it in bin as it took longer.
