Questions & Answers

Do you know if it self-sharpens?

As far as I know, it is supposed to be but I haven't had a chance to use it enough to know for

Is it possible to cut card stock into 1/4" slices with this machine?

In short, yes. Having a clear plastic strip covering the metal strip is a nice touch. The paper need to be slid under the plastic so that it is butted up against the top edge so that a straight cut is achieved. A guide of 1/4 inch is secured to a ridge in this clear plastic.

Is there a place to buy replacement cutting blades?

Don't need to find out because I haven't used it much. The desktop version is great for desktop work and very handy.

It appears that the guard cannot be removed, as I want to cut something tube-shaped?

There is no way to remove it

Selected User Reviews For Tonic Studios Mini Guillotine Paper Trimmer, 6-Inch

It's a great little tool to use for scrapbooking
5/5

I'm confident that this little paper trimmer will be a great addition to my scrap booking supplies. For cropping pictures and for creating borders around them, this is just the right size. My favorite part of it is that you can cut up to 4 pieces of construction paper at once using the extension. The trick is to HOLD DOWN the plastic tab just before the guide line in order for it to lock in the construction paper and give With this little cutter, you will be able to cut 4 at a time. The dimensions are 5 inches by 6 inches. A 5 inch card stock is what I use for my photographs. The following information should be noted There is no room for cards bigger than five inches, so if you're making them bigger, you won't be able to use the cutter. I am using the 6 in the picture. The sum of 5 x 4 gives us 5. There are five cards on the I just cut four sheets at a time in the second picture. Hold down the plastic tab to stabilize the paper and don't hesitate when pressing down the blade to get clean cuts. They do make an 8-inch. For people who make cards, a 5 inch cutter might be a better choice.

The mini paper cutter is very good
5/5

It's not going to comfortably handle half a stack of 8' x 11" card stock if you buy it expecting that. Basically, if you're looking for something that will allow you to cut or trim small sheets two or three at at time, and that is super portable, this is the machine for you. Since I've had this for a couple of weeks, I am not sure how well it works for me When cutting or trimming 5 1/2"x8" sketch, watercolor, or thin card stock without slicing off the end of my finger, I prefer to use an X-Acto knife A new law has been passed. There is nothing I don't like about my work.

Works with A2 cards but not with APS You cannot use this to cut 4 x 6 cards (2
3/5

The measurements are 25 x 5 inches. There is no cutting height option, so it cuts at maximum width of 3 1/2") This is "5". One can mark a line to cut at 4 after measuring and marking the line. In this case, if you carefully line up the edge of the guillotine with the 25" tape measure, it will still work, but it defeats the purpose.

This is a superb little device
5/5

I am amazed! It's awesome! I want one now! Having built and sold electronic devices for more than 20 years, I now design and sell them myself. Printing labels on tape is something I do a lot. Unfortunately, I am unable to cut them at a perfectly straight angle, no matter how hard I try. I, therefore, have uneven edges on my labels, although they are professionally printed had no idea such a small This was exactly what I was looking for. It took me some time to trim all my labels, but now they are all perfect. This little device is great!.

Produced at a low cost I was disappointed with the outcome
3/5

purchased this product due to its combination of price and brand name, and it broke after the second use. When you pay for something, you get what you paid for. The cheap price resulted in a cheap product, so I had to return it and replace it with a different model from another manufacturer. A very disappointed person.

Small papers can easily be cut with this paper cutter
5/5

Whenever I need a smaller job done, I use this paper cutter on my crowded workbench. The Tonic product is always within arms reach when trimming larger sheets of paper or plastic, whereas I have full size paper cutters for larger sheets. My main tasks with it are cutting shipping labels, shrink wrapping batteries, producing heat seal tubes for plastic packaging, and many other one-time I've replaced an inferior cutter with this one since the other one didn't last. For this device, there are screws on the blades and cutter surfaces which can be removed to be sharpened, or tightened as required. If you are looking for small items, I'd definitely recommend this product.

What I expected was junk, but it wasn't! It is a great size and accurate cutting board, but you have to be careful how you hold the item you're cutting, in order to avoid damage
5/5

Several years ago, I had another, which was very cheap and still cut nicely, but was a little smaller and had a compartment on the bottom for holding things like photos, scissors, pens, etc. This would be my favorite gadget if it had something like that!.

Travels well and is the perfect size for small projects
5/5

These little gadgets were very enjoyable and I was very surprised at how well they functioned The paper trimmer I own works better than most other more expensive ones I have seen. I can easily carry it on a table and store it inside my crafting bag, making it perfect for traveling. This particular one is missing only a small lock to keep the blade down, but it fits snugly. With use, it might loosen, but that is still possible. Although there were a few people complaining that it didn't cut through paper/photos neatly, the blade is sharp and clean almost every time. However, the blade can snag and tear a piece of paper/photo under its blade. I realized I had not been on a stable surface or I hadn't been able to put the small plastic holder (which ensures your paper doesn't move) all the way down. That solved my problem, and after that, there were no more ripped pages. As far as the size is concerned, I would prefer it if it were a bit bigger or had an extension, though this works great when working on card projects.
