About 10 years ago, when I was a SU demonstrator, I had a SU guillotine that looks exactly like your Tonic guillotine. It had the removable handle and extender on it. I loved it. It worked like a dream! Sorry I ever got rid of it, but I decided to downsize all my supplies a few years back, thinking I was done with it (no room, no time, etc.). Now I'm back to cardmaking, and I'm kicking myself for getting rid of so much.
Thanks so much for this video. I've been looking for a new paper trimmer and after watching this, managed to get an amazing offer and bought the Tim Holtz 12 inch tonic guillotine for £16 from amazon. a few days later it went back up to £41
Thanks for you video. I just ordered the Tim Holtz 12 inch one. UPDATE Feb 2023, Absolutely an awesome guillotine. Very sharp, I use it constantly. I also bought the smaller version for cutting scraps down. Highly recommend.
Thank you! I've been really wanting a guillotine cutter, but I've been procrastinating on purchasing one. It's so hard to know what to get with so many on the market! I was wondering what the Tim Holtz was like, and you're the 2nd person to recommend it. Thank you so much! Now I know what I'll be buying :-)
I know that you posted this in 2019, and this is 2021 I ordered the tonic in 2020 and I thought I was going to love it! I must say I can't get a straight cut with it? At first I thought it was something I had been doing, but with many more attempts I have figured out that it's the trimmer. I think it's not lined up right. Thanks for sharing your honest options on the different trimmers! I totally enjoy you input, and your talent!!!
Thank you so much, I have been trying to decide what would be the best trimmer for myself, I now know which one I’m going for and that would be the Tim Holtz. Thanks for your demonstration so easy to follow. Anne from Australia. 😀🇦🇺
You learn something every day! I bought the Woodward but didn't know you could store the blades or turn the strip until I saw this. Thx for the info. I of mine!
Thank you for your review, I had a very old Woodward rotary trimmer but it was getting a pain to use I have ordered the one you showed here , really looking forward to using it . Thanks again. Take care xx
I love my trimmers too, I have the two Tim Holz guillotines, and the Woodware, which I have loaned to my granddaughter! My son has a bigger Fiskar rotary one, and I'm eyeing up the Cutterpillar!! But like you, I totally love the big guillotine.
Great video...I have a different type woodware cutter...it isn't cutting straight anymore so looking to buy a new paper trimmer...I think I will treat myself to the Tim Holtz one.
Hello Ann. Another wonderful and practical video. I have a comment on the Woodware trimmer. Yes it cuts beautifully, but when you want to cut between 5" and 6" (where the arm comes out) then I find my card sizing isn't cutting accurately. There is a gap after 5 5/8 and before the 6" mark. I have only recently purchased it and feel disappointed that I have to keep measuring the size again via a ruler. I see other trimmers don't have this gap. Jo xx
Excellent demonstration and real honest opinion received. I am lucky to have seen this video before placing an order on Amazon, a cheap plastic stuff would have arrived. But the sad part is that "Woodcraft Collection" products are not available here. Hence I can't have it neither am I going to settle for anything less. So, life without a paper trimmer.
Hi Anne, l watch your video, and have brought thr Tim Holtz guillotine it's the best l have ever had, such a clean cut and when you want your paper exact it's just a dream. Thankyou so much. 💖
So glad you did this review! I have a Fiskars trimmer which cuts ok but, I’m a hobby Stampin’ Up demonstrator and couldn’t wait to get the Stampin’ Up one. I hate it! I use mostly Stampin’ Up cardstock and get very few cuts with a blade. This started right out of the box. Then I bought another better Fiskars, but you do still have to replace blades more than I would like but nothing like the Stampin Up one. I read lots of reviews trying to find the best trimmer and bought a Swingline guillotine, but, I have trouble getting a straight cut. Then I bought the Cutterpillar pro. I still feel like I can’t get a straight cut. Maybe I just need to practice. I wish I could get the Woodware one, but I live in the states. I may have to look into the Tonic. Thanks again for an excellent review!
I purchased a Woodware trimmer in the States from Scrapbook.com within the last month. I love it, but I am having trouble finding the special cutting blades. Good luck!
My Fiskars slide cutter's string just broke where it was attached and now it's just hard to see where i cut. I've always been annoyed by the fuzzy cut when the blade goes dull (which is all the time!) and this video really convinced me to just invest in a proper one cause they do exist! 😂💜 Thank you so much!
No, you are not alone with having a lot of trimmers Ann, I think we all have been in search of the perfect trimmer. lol Trimmers like the SU one that have the same kind of blade will leave that edge on the cardstock. I don't like that either. Plus they dull pretty quickly. A rotary blade or guillotine trimmer will give the best cut in my own humble opinion and are self sharpening. Loved your review Ann!
stampin up brought out the exact same guillotine which is what I have. I would love to get a woodware one but unfortunately I am not in the uk. Thanks Ann
Thanks for your tutorial was needing one and was leaning more on the tonic one you really help me out about which one to buy I too am frustrating with the score mark like the stampin up one left
Hi Ann,thanks for the tips on these ,I admit my stampin` up trimmer is not great,I have noticed that even changing the runner AND the blade you will still get that strange line,and sometimes I find it bunches up the card stock and just tears it, I loved my fiskers trimmer but lost it during my house move and have not got around to getting another yet. I do like the look of the woodware guillotine and the Tim Holtz one, so I think I might be getting me the woodware one.
Thankyou for this Ann. It was very helpful. I have a couple of trimmers I am not happy with, and have been thinking about your favourites on and off for a while now. So- mind made up, now I know they will be worth it !
I needed this, I'm fairly new to paper crafting. I have the WRMK's trimmer w/score board & a store brand guillotine cutter. They ok! Thank you, so much for sharing💕
Very interesting. I have a basic Fiskars trimmer which is OK and most closely resembles the Stampin’ Up one, but I’ve been thinking of changing it to something more robust, and the Woodware one looks amazing, I like the way you can get different blades for it, too. Excellent review!
I just purchased the Guillotine the beginning of this year, and yes I do agree that is one phenomenal tool to invest. Love it, I had the Stampin Up one but I gave it away to donation. Worthless tool to have....
The best trimmer I've ever bought has to be my Cutterpillar Crop. Yes it was expensive at £79.99 from Create & Craft but when u see how it works & all the reviews. It was a no brainer for me. You'll never need to replace blades again as it self sharpens. Love it so much I'll be buying the larger version this year sometime - the Cutterpillar Pro. I also bought the Cutterpillar Glow. Love both products xo
I agree about the Stampin Up trimmer. I've lost count of the number of blades I've bought. I also have a Fiskars trimmer which is identical and the blades on that need replacing often. I now use my Tonic guillotine the majority of the time. I also have the small and large one and also the small Fiskars guillotine!!!! I know Ann Littler said to blame madness but I think it's an illness we all need help with lol!! xx
pizzaandabeer Try starting your cat a couple of inches down, then straight back up. It’s the only way I found my SU trimmer not dragging so much. Hope that helps xx
I still have my Stampin Up trimmer but I purchased the rotary blades when they were on the sale ages ago, I mainly use it for cutting my chipboard now. I got sick of replacing blades all the time. I have a Tonic guillotine too it's the same as yours but not the Tim Holtz version. I agree it cuts beautifully xx
@@PositivelyPapercraft yeah that's the only thing that put me off plus the fact that the blades went out of stock so often too making them harder to get xx
would you recommend for cut 1.5mm or 2mm thick greyboard with it? A4 size, cuts to 15 peaces. I need to cut arount 50 A4 size boards into 15 peaces, that is 60 cuts on each board. do you think Tonic can handle 2mm boards?
@@MrGoandrush I'm not 100% sure since I've never cut that type of board. I have cut chipboard and cardboard with it and it works fine. It is also sharp enough to cut tissue paper.
@@UARELOVE1010 I don't think it makes too much of a difference. The Tim Holtz one (probably made by Tonic) will take up less space and give you enough of a base to steady your paper/cardstock when cutting. It has an arm that extends so you can get longer measurements.
So agree with what you say Ann,i have the older version of the woodware rotary,and have had it about 4 years now,and it still cuts beautifully.I also have the large tonic guillotine,and the small one,and love them.I can highly recommend them. xx
I agree with you about the SU trimmer, I am a hobby demo with SU and I’m for ever buying new blades, cleaning them and cleaning the tracks and still a fluffy cut ! I think its going on eBay because I don’t use it for scoring as I have the SU Score Board which I do like. At least now I know which one to buy to replace it thanks to you Anne xx Woodware on order 😀xx
Thanks for the review and your honest opinion! I have a large guillotine trimmer which I love, it is a self sharpening one and is has never given me any problems!
Hi i have the tim holtz guillotine but i hate the anomaly that is the measurement between the 6 and 7 inches, that bit really annoys me lol. I love the stamping up one, but i really complained about the blades, but have heard theyre stopping production, it has the best in my opinion the best measurement bit between the arm and the main base, , im gonna get the woodware one, it looks amazing, thanks for doing this video, thankyou x
I think I will buy the guillotined one. I still need to see it personally. As of now I have the one who can cut slightly thick card stock. Thanks for the review.
Hello Ann, I'm Claray, I'm from Spain, I've seen your video of guillotines because I want to buy one. I have the woodware one and I am delighted with it, but the cutting guide broke and I can't get replacements. I wanted to ask you if where you live can you get them? Thank you so much. All the best.
The best thing about tonic guillotine trimmers is they sharpen the blade everytime you use them. I do wish there was an arm on the smaller version. I want the larger one, but I can't afford it. Thanks for giving us the flat facts and honest opinion. 💗
Excellent video Ann! I'm planning to buy a trimmer to help with sketchbook making, because sometimes I must cut a lot of papers at once. What do you think is the most suitable for that job? I love the Tim Holtz you showed, but I'm not sure how much paper I can cut at once.
Hi Ann I badly need a paper trimmer and based on your reviews I went to purchase the pink one you love but it's no longer available 😢 any idea where I could source one plz hun, I'm in the UK x
It just figures! I knew as soon as I saw the Woodware trimmer that it wouldn’t be available in the U.S. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the level of premium products have gone down hill but pricing continues to go sky high, ugh.
I think you have the older SU trimmer? The new one is so much better! But you do have to change your blades to keep a good sharp cut. I have a Cricut one which I like too but the score blade is not included. I’m definitely looking for a good rotary style. I get close to purchasing one then I read the reviews and 2-3 will hate it and I change my mind. 🤦🏼♀️ Seems like people either love or hate all cutters! LOL 😂 thanks for this great info!
Just ordered the Tim Holtz 12x12 guillotine cutter from Amazon on Sunday. Should be here in 2 weeks. I'm glad to hear it's your favorite. Like you I've been debating for over a year on it.
Yaya mine has just arrived! Coming back to yr video I noticed you have lots of extra trimmers. Mine only came with 2 trimmers. Did you order more or should I have got the same amount as you got. When I saw how many you had I turned trimmer over and none there. All I got with trimmer was a straight edge and a scoring trimmer. Thanks
Thanks Ann for sharing this. I thought it was me doing something wrong with the SU trimmer. I am very interested in the trimmer with the different blades but also like the last one (ur very fav). Thanks again n so glad to see this.
I just purchased the Woodware trimmer from Scrapbook.com US after watching you use it on one of your videos. I love the way it cuts, and changing blades is so easy. I would like to get the pinking , scallop and Victorian cutting blades but can’t find them for sale anywhere. Any suggestions on where to buy them?
Would love to hear from you or anyone who finds a seller of these replacement blades. By the way - I love your ideas using laminating sheets. I’ve been sharing them with one of my sisters who loves to craft, as do I. Thank you for your wonderful ideas and your generosity in sharing them with all of us.
I have the big guillotine you love but I'm less satisfied. Once in a while it's like the blade doesn't cut but folds the cardstock over the edge first and then makes a sloppy ragged edge. I have no clue what to due about it.
roden70, I may have an idea that will help. Because your guillotine is made of plastic it has some give on the handle. I have the same cutter and I found that when I pull the handle down I need to pull slightly to the left or the body of the machine and then slide the handle down. I hope this makes sense and I hope it works for you.
I have the same problem. The cut tends to be very good on the upper part of the blade, but when cutting longer card, it starts bending the card in the lower section causing a bent ragged edge. Have tried pulling the blade to the left - results are a bit hit and miss, which would indicate that the guillotine has a problem with calibration and balance of the blade, which is a pity.
Thank you for this video. I have one question : how do you do to measure with the gap between the plateform and the added arm ? At this place there is a lack of numbers written on. Thank you in advance for your help.
I love my SU trimmer, but you must keep the track clean and you won't get that fuzzy edge. I don't change the blade often but do clean it. I have bought many trimmers and cutters too! I wish I could find the perfect one, but there are things I love about each one!
Positively Papercraft I agree with you honey, the SU one drags the paper unless your blades are really new. When I use it I start the cut a bit of the way down then go back up. I love my Tim Holtz one I don’t cut that many large things, so it’s great!
Thanks Ann for this review❣️I have a guillotine and the SU trimmer... I don’t like the SU trimmer because I have to change the blade often and you’re right about the cut; not always precise... Lyne xxx😘
Thank you so much for your review. I've looked all over for the Woodware paper trimmer and unable to find it so I can purchase. Do you know of another comparable one? I am interested with something that would have the scoring and pinking or wavy interchangeable blades.
I have the Woodware one too but I wished they would have made the extending arm of the ruler in a lighter colour, as I find it difficult to see the numbers in Red. I also have the SU one which I find is OK, and also have a couple of Guillotine ones too. TFS, Hugs Linda x
I have the ProCision and a blue Fiskars one. The problem with all of these, EXCEPT the SU! one, is that you miss a few lines when you extend the arm. For my ProCision, I have to put my ruler on the side to be able to cut at 6" precisely (and I cut a lot at 6"). I tried the mini Sonic but returned it because the width was only 3" or something but the length was 6.25" so it was false advertisement. I have checked many people using the SU! one and didn't see any missing bars on it. So I might buy it just for that. The fluffy comes from not cleaning because my ProCision does that too and it's supposed to be self-sharpening. I would LOVE to get the Woodware one but it's out of stock right now on Amazon.ca.uk and eBay.ca - I did put it in my wish list, though. Never heard of it before your demo. TFS Nicole
Very informative video, thankyou! How can we sharpen our Tonic guillotine paper cutter? I've had mine for about 1 year and I am now getting fuzzy edges when I cut. Please help!
The Tonic one: If you use centimeters ... it's not quite handy. You can't measure the mm exactly, it's too far away from the line where you put your paper against
Hi I am unbale to purchase a scoring blade for my triple track Fiskars paper trimmer and they wont tell me why. Fiskars had to replace my trimmer a while ago snd now I cant get the blades for it can you help
Is Woodware still making this trimmer? I'm in the U S and have been trying for months to order one. Amazon says they don't know if the trimmer will ever be back in stock. Thank You for the review.
Do you know where else I can purchase this Woodward pink trimmer?? I live in America and I really really want this trimmer please help me thank you kindly
I love my SU trimmer. You do need to give it a good clean regularly to stop paper fibre build up. I cut 250gsm cardstock & never had fuzzies or strange line you showed. I personally wouldn’t use anything else x
Haha, have you been spying on me Ann? I was just looking today for a new trimmer but couldn't decide on one. I have the stampin up trimmer and I do like it except the blades don't last long at all! I like the woodware one that you showed, with the different blades, so I may decide on that. Thanks for the review, it was very helpful. tfs,x
would you recommend for cut 1.5mm or 2mm thick greyboard with it? A4 size, cuts to 15 peaces. I need to cut arount 50 A4 size boards into 15 peaces, that is 60 cuts on each board. do you think Tonic can handle 2mm boards?
Interesting.. I have just in the last week been looking .. there is so many.. it's confusing... But if inline one you can bet it will be the most expensive lol.. I'm also looking at scorer boards
About 10 years ago, when I was a SU demonstrator, I had a SU guillotine that looks exactly like your Tonic guillotine. It had the removable handle and extender on it. I loved it.

Another wonderful and informative review Ann, I’m going to order the large Tonic one today as your review highlighted all the issues perfectly
I know that you posted this in 2019, and this is 2021 I ordered the tonic in 2020 and I thought I was going to love it! I must say I can't get a straight cut with it? At first I thought it was something I had been doing, but with many more attempts I have figured out that it's the trimmer. I think it's not lined up right.

Awesome. I'm going to get my first trimmer and your video showed me things to consider that I never would have known about. Thanks!
Great video...I have a different type woodware cutter...it isn't cutting straight anymore so looking to buy a new paper trimmer...I think I will treat myself to the Tim Holtz one.

I agree about the stamping up trimmer. I just changed the blade and it's still fluffy.
Hi Anne, l watch your video, and have brought thr Tim Holtz guillotine it's the best l have ever had, such a clean cut and when you want your paper exact it's just a dream. Thankyou so much. 💖
Great info on cutters! I have both the 12 x 12 tonic and the 6 inch. I use both for many different applications!
Thanks for the review. I’ve bought the best and am very happy.

You can get one from ebay for £20
I'm getting one 😁

It's sold out everywhere in the states.
@@tallgirlswagg really? Wow
To be fair to the Stampin Up trimmer (it's not my fave), but you cut black card which is very fiberous and will do that on other trimmers as well.
I cut white card as well and that was the same.
I think I will buy the guillotined one. I still need to see it personally. As of now I have the one who can cut slightly thick card stock. Thanks for the review.
have you bought it? What is your experience?
I want to use for 2mm thick cardstock. do you think its heavy duty?
Where can I buy the spare blades for the tonic trimmer Ann. I've looked but can only see blue ones that looks like them. Thanks
I can’t find the pink trimmer anywhere. I’m in the U.S. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND IT. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. THANK YOU
Hello Ann, I'm Claray, I'm from Spain, I've seen your video of guillotines because I want to buy one. I have the woodware one and I am delighted with it, but the cutting guide broke and I can't get replacements. I wanted to ask you if where you live can you get them?
Thank you so much.
All the best.
The best thing about tonic guillotine trimmers is they sharpen the blade everytime you use them. I do wish there was an arm on the smaller version. I want the larger one, but I can't afford it. Thanks for giving us the flat facts and honest opinion. 💗
Oh i didn't no that, thank you xx
Thanks, Ann, very helpful.
I would have preferred stampin up to stay with the rotary blade
Yes i agree xx
Excellent video Ann! I'm planning to buy a trimmer to help with sketchbook making, because sometimes I must cut a lot of papers at once. What do you think is the most suitable for that job? I love the Tim Holtz you showed, but I'm not sure how much paper I can cut at once.
Hi Ann I badly need a paper trimmer and based on your reviews I went to purchase the pink one you love but it's no longer available 😢 any idea where I could source one plz hun, I'm in the UK x
It just figures! I knew as soon as I saw the Woodware trimmer that it wouldn’t be available in the U.S.
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the level of premium products have gone down hill but pricing continues to go sky high, ugh.
Thank you so much for this review! I was wondering about the Tim Holtz products and you just sold me. Much appreciated review.
You will not be dissapointed xx
Thanks Ann . Your review was very helpful. Much appreciated.
TY SO much for this!
Timely, as I've been debating which to get myself recently! :)
I have had this one for years and it is great.
I think you have the older SU trimmer? The new one is so much better! But you do have to change your blades to keep a good sharp cut. I have a Cricut one which I like too but the score blade is not included. I’m definitely looking for a good rotary style. I get close to purchasing one then I read the reviews and 2-3 will hate it and I change my mind. 🤦🏼♀️ Seems like people either love or hate all cutters! LOL 😂 thanks for this great info!
Just ordered the Tim Holtz 12x12 guillotine cutter from Amazon on Sunday. Should be here in 2 weeks. I'm glad to hear it's your favorite. Like you I've been debating for over a year on it.
Thank you I've just ordered the woodwear one great review video
You will love it!! I still stand by the fact it's the best trimmer out there x
Yaya mine has just arrived! Coming back to yr video I noticed you have lots of extra trimmers. Mine only came with 2 trimmers. Did you order more or should I have got the same amount as you got. When I saw how many you had I turned trimmer over and none there. All I got with trimmer was a straight edge and a scoring trimmer. Thanks
@@djmmeade2094 woo hoo. Yes I bought mine separate. Let me no if you want links for them xx
Ahh ok many thanks for yr reply. Yes I would love the link please and link for the bar if you have it . Many thanks 🦋
@@djmmeade2094 no worries. Just popping out will do it as soon as I come home xx
Thanks Ann for sharing this. I thought it was me doing something wrong with the SU trimmer. I am very interested in the trimmer with the different blades but also like the last one (ur very fav). Thanks again n so glad to see this.
Thank you! How can I get the Woodware trimmer in the U.S. ?
I just purchased the Woodware trimmer from Scrapbook.com US after watching you use it on one of your videos. I love the way it cuts, and changing blades is so easy. I would like to get the pinking , scallop and Victorian cutting blades but can’t find them for sale anywhere. Any suggestions on where to buy them?
Good choice! I am keeping my eye out for some but nothing yet
Would love to hear from you or anyone who finds a seller of these replacement blades. By the way - I love your ideas using laminating sheets. I’ve been sharing them with one of my sisters who loves to craft, as do I. Thank you for your wonderful ideas and your generosity in sharing them with all of us.
I love my woodware trimmer but I need a replacement cutting track, looked on Amazon, eBay ECT..... any ideas ?
Great information Ann! Thank you.
I have the big guillotine you love but I'm less satisfied. Once in a while it's like the blade doesn't cut but folds the cardstock over the edge first and then makes a sloppy ragged edge. I have no clue what to due about it.
roden70, I may have an idea that will help. Because your guillotine is made of plastic it has some give on the handle. I have the same cutter and I found that when I pull the handle down I need to pull slightly to the left or the body of the machine and then slide the handle down. I hope this makes sense and I hope it works for you.
sheron Egolf That’s what I do with mine x
@@sheronegolf7642 Thank you for this suggestion. I will centainly try it!
I have the same problem. The cut tends to be very good on the upper part of the blade, but when cutting longer card, it starts bending the card in the lower section causing a bent ragged edge. Have tried pulling the blade to the left - results are a bit hit and miss, which would indicate that the guillotine has a problem with calibration and balance of the blade, which is a pity.
Thank you for this video. I have one question : how do you do to measure with the gap between the plateform and the added arm ? At this place there is a lack of numbers written on. Thank you in advance for your help.
I have the tonic studio for card it's fab x
I love my SU trimmer, but you must keep the track clean and you won't get that fuzzy edge. I don't change the blade often but do clean it. I have bought many trimmers and cutters too! I wish I could find the perfect one, but there are things I love about each one!
I clean the track lots and its still fuzzy, its because those blades drag the cardstock to cut it, rotary blades dont xx
Positively Papercraft I agree with you honey, the SU one drags the paper unless your blades are really new. When I use it I start the cut a bit of the way down then go back up. I love my Tim Holtz one I don’t cut that many large things, so it’s great!
I've not long brought the stampin up trimmer and I hate it , Think I'm going to save for the lagre tonic ty x
Thanks Ann for this review❣️I have a guillotine and the SU trimmer... I don’t like the SU trimmer because I have to change the blade often and you’re right about the cut; not always precise... Lyne xxx😘
Thank you so much for your review. I've looked all over for the Woodware paper trimmer and unable to find it so I can purchase. Do you know of another comparable one? I am interested with something that would have the scoring and pinking or wavy interchangeable blades.
I have the Woodware one too but I wished they would have made the extending arm of the ruler in a lighter colour, as I find it difficult to see the numbers in Red. I also have the SU one which I find is OK, and also have a couple of Guillotine ones too. TFS, Hugs Linda x
Hi. I had the same problem so rubbed white ink across the red ruler and it is much better to see now.
Yes I agree it can be a little hard to make out sometimes xx
I have the ProCision and a blue Fiskars one. The problem with all of these, EXCEPT the SU! one, is that you miss a few lines when you extend the arm. For my ProCision, I have to put my ruler on the side to be able to cut at 6" precisely (and I cut a lot at 6"). I tried the mini Sonic but returned it because the width was only 3" or something but the length was 6.25" so it was false advertisement.
I have checked many people using the SU! one and didn't see any missing bars on it. So I might buy it just for that. The fluffy comes from not cleaning because my ProCision does that too and it's supposed to be self-sharpening.
I would LOVE to get the Woodware one but it's out of stock right now on Amazon.ca.uk and eBay.ca - I did put it in my wish list, though. Never heard of it before your demo. TFS Nicole
Great video, very informative thank you.
Very informative video, thankyou! How can we sharpen our Tonic guillotine paper cutter? I've had mine for about 1 year and I am now getting fuzzy edges when I cut. Please help!
Try cutting some aluminum foil with it a few times. That sharpens my cutter quite well for a quick fix. It also helps keep my favorite punches sharp.
Hi Ann thank you for sharing your thoughts about the trimmers very useful to know I agree with you on your trimmer choice ☺️ Lin in South Wales uk x
You are dead on right about stampin trimmer.
Yes its not the best
Thanks for cutting papers that are over 300 GSM since that is important to me!
TFS!!! Very informative! Glad I didn't purchase thee SU cutter. Have both Fiskars Guillotine + Purple Cows which I like
The Tonic one: If you use centimeters ... it's not quite handy. You can't measure the mm exactly, it's too far away from the line where you put your paper against
Hi I am unbale to purchase a scoring blade for my triple track Fiskars paper trimmer and they wont tell me why. Fiskars had to replace my trimmer a while ago snd now I cant get the blades for it can you help
Is Woodware still making this trimmer? I'm in the U S and have been trying for months to order one. Amazon says they don't know if the trimmer will ever be back in stock. Thank You for the review.
Do you know where else I can purchase this Woodward pink trimmer?? I live in America and I really really want this trimmer please help me thank you kindly
I love my SU trimmer. You do need to give it a good clean regularly to stop paper fibre build up. I cut 250gsm cardstock & never had fuzzies or strange line you showed. I personally wouldn’t use anything else x
I no loads of people who have the same problems. When I was a demo I used to get complaints about it all the time to
Thank you very much... I'm looking into getting a new trimmer... Helped answer some questions for me
Haha, have you been spying on me Ann? I was just looking today for a new trimmer but couldn't decide on one. I have the stampin up trimmer and I do like it except the blades don't last long at all! I like the woodware one that you showed, with the different blades, so I may decide on that. Thanks for the review, it was very helpful. tfs,x
Hi I know this video is old but I’m looking for a GUIllotine to cut multiple pieces of paper and scrap paper. Should I get the grey one?
How can I purchase the woodware trimmer? I reside in the United States. Please advise. Thank you kindly
No link to Tonic cutter?
would you recommend for cut 1.5mm or 2mm thick greyboard with it? A4 size, cuts to 15 peaces. I need to cut arount 50 A4 size boards into 15 peaces, that is 60 cuts on each board.
do you think Tonic can handle 2mm boards?
Interesting.. I have just in the last week been looking .. there is so many.. it's confusing... But if inline one you can bet it will be the most expensive lol.. I'm also looking at scorer boards
