12.25" Maxi Guillotine Paper Cutter

This guillotine replaced my other one that just wasn’t up to par. This guillotine is precise in its measurements and the blade is super sharp. I have not cut more than 3 pieces of cardstock at once, so I cannot attest to its ability to cut through the number it states. The 3 that I stacked and cut were perfectly cut. Don’t opt for the cheaper versions as you will waste your money. Tonic Studios is a great brand. I now have this one and 2 smaller ones for use at my work station.

Good size for paper crafting, easily stored, lightweight but still sturdy, good safety features, nice blade, easy to use, and great price for a guillotine style paper cutter. Definitely my go-to cutter for 65lb and 110lb car stocks.

Love the mini paper cutter

I paper craft a lot and haven't found (or heard of) the one perfect trimmer. This one isn't the exception. That being said, it still has a lot going for it, and I am happy with my purchase. I will be using it in conjunction with my swing arm blade style trimmer that can cut papers up to 12"x12" size. I do recommend that if you only buy one trimmer for card and scrapbooking paper crafting, that you get one that can handle at least that size paper regardless of the trimmer style. The honest truth is that this works so well though, that I will probably use it more than the swing arm style now. But I still want both to create the "perfect" trimmer choice. Pros: Clean, crisp, sharp cuts Fairly Compact and Portable - great if no flat space can be dedicated only to trimmer placement Seems durable Safe construction (especially for a guillotine style) with large finger guard No blade replacement costs Nice measurement grid markings (on platform and at top and bottom) Good price point for the quality Cons: When first used, the blade was very tight and tugged the paper out of place and created crooked cuts. Still requires sturdy hold to avoid the crooked cuts. Guillotine style can cut fingers if operator is major klutz (I am and have) - reminder to make use of guard Not suitable for 12' x 12" paper cutting Can't make window cuts in paper

It works well and is nice and sharp. My only complaint is that the plastic guide is not where the cutter cuts--it's about 1/8" further from it and I forget sometimes and have to cut my paper a second time. I guess it's because my last cutter was exactly aligned to the plastic guide and I have a hard time adjusting to it. On the plus side, the bottom has a measuring edge to push your paper against, not just along the top. I use that feature a lot.

Very sharp, cuts well, but wish it was longer!

I really researched a paper cutter to get, and I have small area, really small to store also when not used. This one is just right size wise. I have a paper trimmer, but does not cut like I need for intricate details and tears my designs. I wanted a guillotine one without costing an arm and a leg. It's lightweight and doesn't feel cumbersome when finishing and storing away. I have it upright in my cubicle, closed and not worried about getting cut. It cuts cardstock easily with no frays. I am currently using 100 lb, 271 g/m. I really like the ruler on top and bottom. Was worried about not being able to get some layered cards under that guide, but it seems to adjusts, and haven't had a problem. Great purchase!

Works great for photos and doesn't take up a whole lot of space but do make sure photo/paper is held in place for it may move while cutting.

Oggetto bello, leggero ma robusto. Ottima lama. Ha un sistema salvadita da tenere premuto durante il taglio, che evita che il foglio scivoli piegando il taglio. Ha 2 guide millimetrare, e la struttura è a quadratini che fungono da guida, con vari stop per misure più usate. Fate caso al fatto che queste misure sono in pollici. Nel mio caso specifico, ritagliando da foglio intero, i quadratini aiutano poco, quindi mi regolo sulla lama. Il salvadita finisce 2/3mm prima del taglio effettivo, quindi devo "ad occhio" capire dove talierà. Purtroppo è un problema tipico delle ghigliottine, meno precise di quelle a rullo, ma con lama molto più longeva. Se dovete usarla sporadicamente o con carte sottili, quella a rullo forse è più indicata, mentre su grandi moli di lavoro o su carte importanti, questa a leva dura di più. testata su carta fotografica da 280 grammi, il filo del taglio è davvero ottimo. Si riescono a rifilare errori? Sì, anche 1 millimetro è possibile rifilarlo, a patto di tenere saldamente premuto il salvadita. Misure: taglia formati A4 ma nel senso della larghezza. In Altezza il foglio non mi entrerà, tenetelo presente. Tutto sommato una ottima macchina, non ingombra, il suo prezzo è leggermente superiore ad altre più leggerine, vale il suo prezzo. Do 5 stelle, effettive sarebbero 4.5 solo perché una guida di taglio migliore mi risparmierebbe il tempo delle prove di taglio. Rinrazio chi valuterà utile

Great cutter. I have the 6", but needed 8" at least. Crafter. Very pleased.

Absolut empfehlenswert. Ich denke ich werde mir die große auch zulegen. Schneidet zuverlässig ohne Papier zu reissen.

I love this little cutter! It's great and handy for smaller card projects when I don't want to pull out and use the regular size cutter. So easy to use.

The knife is really sharp and it cuts really well. It's a bit small but perfect for someone who does not have space.
