With a guillotine, try pulling back on the tape roll with the thumb of your free hand... the (extra) tension results in a cleaner cut.

I never rely on the splicer blades to cut the tape cleanly. After I stick the tape across, I trim it with an X-Acto knife.
 

David, in that case wouldn't it be easier just to do it with a Rivas (straight cut - modified for cutting on the frame line) ?

Just askin'
