I found two fabulous tools for trimming one's tarot decks.
The first is a Fiskars 12-inch Rotary Trimmer... #12-9908. It sells at Michaels for $39-bucks, (cheaper if you've got a coupon for them), or can be got at Amazon for $31-and-change plus free-shipping.

The next great tool is a Corner Rounder that I found also at Amazon. It's called an 'Angle Eater'. It's 'rounding-size' is 'Small'-- 5mm-- and works like a charm! I wrote a Review of it over there. It's $5-bucks plus shipping, (it's not available for free-shipping as it's sold by SuperMart). It's the 'Green' one only! The Red and Orange ones are too big... up to 10mm and will eat too much corner!

'Angle-eater' upside down showing compartment that holds trimmed corner scraps til you pop the lid and dump them out... a real plus!: http://tinyurl.com/2f8vu92
Here are some pics I took while I was trimming my 'Radiant RWS'...
