Love that the cut is so clean that I don’t have to buy replacement blades for it it self sharpens like it so much I just ordered the smaller version highly recommended the only thing I wish it had was the 1/4 1/8 the in between measurements love that it’s lightweight and takes up less room I love Tim Holtz products
I have been struggling with many paper trimmers and the poor ragged cuts so when I saw this cutter on sale I took the plunge. Am I glad I did, now I get smooth edges every time. The reason I did not give 5 stars was the directions on the box say cut paper and card stock. I have not had the opportunity to see will it cut chip board if so I would give it 5stars. If you have been thinking about purchasing Tim Holtz Guillotine think no more you will be glad you did. Happy Crafting.
I just replaced my 10 year old Tonic Studio Guillotine with this newer version. The previous served me well, but was just getting noisier. I'm so happy with this smooth new tool. I trim a LOT of paper for my planner and this is super reliable. I love the plastic shield that holds the paper in place and doesn't allow it to slide while being cut.
One of my newest arsenal of tools. I finally decided to buy a new trimmer because I have a really heavy metal trimmer that I’ve been dragging around to Scrapbooking weekends. not fun. (I’m donating my old trimmer to a local charity.)
This works so smoothly with the double pressure plates and is so much lighter. Im looking forward to using it everyday too.
Thanks you.
I have purchased many paper trimmers in the past and this was my first Guillotine trimmer. I love it! It cuts a nice crisp edge when cutting single sheets of paper. I tried cutting multiple sheets of paper at one time and this trimmer would not cut through multiple sheets without tearing the paper. When cutting a single sheet of cardstock or 110# paper, it cuts beautifully. Even the tiniest sliver of paper is cut perfectly. I would recommend this trimmer.
Yes...it is very sharp and I love how I can cut paper so smoothly with it...but I struggle to get straight cuts! If I put the paper (8 1/2 x 11) directly against the top edge the score marks on the trimmer that mark the grid are invariably just a tad off from square. I'm very particular about my card stock being cut straight and this about drives me crazy! If anyone has some tips for me I'd love to hear them!
I am so thrilled with this paper trimmer! I have had a variety of trimmers in my years as a paper crafter but this one is by far my favorite. It cuts perfectly straight with a very clean edge no frayed looking edges on my card stock. I can even cut tiny 1/16 “ off of a paper with no problems and I can cut a few sheets at a time, which is great when I’m pre cutting a stack of card bases. This is my favorite tool in my craft room for sure!
I've seen several crafters on Youtube and crafting groups use this trimmer and have read several reviews online. I waited MONTHS for this trimmer to come in stock due to CV-19 it was delayed and it did not disappoint. It cuts beautifully, in my opinion and i just have to get use to using both of the places to hold my paper down or it slips slightly. No more frayed edges or having to change blades every month, as I cut a lot of paper.
I started using a smaller guillotine trimmer a few months ago & loved how it cut with such precision. On the recommendation of a few YouTuber's...I decided to try this trimmer. Now I can cut 12x12 paper & cardstock with precision & I don't have to worry about ragged edges. I truly love this trimmer.
I have a heavy duty commercial paper trimmer but it's bulky, very heavy and takes up a lot of room in my craft studio. I wanted something that would store easily, with a smaller footprint and still cut accurately. This new Tonic trimmer is perfect. I store it under my work table and just pull it out when needed. The set-up of the extension arm is easy and it is extremely accurate. I make intricate cards and have had no problem with 1/8" measurements when cutting. It does a good job on everything from printer paper to heavier watercolor paper. I still need my big cutter for chipboard, etc. but the Tonic has become my day-to-day trimmer. It's become my favorite new tool!

I just ordered this guillotine (my first guillotine) and I am totally sold on the product because of the reviews however I was wondering if it is possible to use it on 52pt chipboard or let�s say the limit of chipboard thickness? Thank you so much for the help!

With our in-house testing, we have found that the maximum thickness that cuts effectively is 3 sheets of 90 lb card stock. Any thicker, the cut is not good. Our recommendation is that you use a rotary trimmer to cut thick chipboard.

I'm not sure how thick 52pt chipboard is but this trimmer is designed to cut various thicknesses of cardstock. I've cut up to 120 lb paper just fine but haven't tried any ticker - I don't imagine this trimmer could handle anything too thick. You'd have to try, just don't force the blade!

I am looking for a trimmer that will cut paper 1/4" or 1//8 " wide...I do paper quilling and wondered if will this trimmer do that ?
How many sheets of 80 or 100 or 110 lb. card stock will it cut with one pass?

I tested my Tim Holtz-12.25 inch Maxi Guillotine Trimmer for you. I tried my test on 110 pd. card stock. I cut 6 out with no trouble. Tim said in his u-tube a couple of sheets. Tim is correct when he said a couple of sheets, because it cut like butter with 1 or 2. I had to use a little more mussel to bring the blade threw all 6.
Hi,
Hi JvV,
My guillotine is blunt. I�ve had it for a few years and used it quite a lot but now� it�s unusable. I can�t find replacement blades. Is there a way of safely sharpening the blade? Or replacing it? If it�s �disposable� (ie needs to be replaced when the blade goes blunt) I won�t purchase a replacement.

I am contemplating between this 12.25" trimmer and the Tonic 12" wide-based trimmer. Is having a narrow base uncomfortable while cutting 12" papers with the paper slumping down?
Hello Preethigudivada,
Are the measurements accurate ? I ask because of the photo.
Hello Carolynjayne,
Hello Carolynjayne,
