iamkristinl16's paper trimmer thread reminded me that I have to ask about mini-trimmers. My old CM one fell off my shelf and now the plastic arm is cracked and bent so I can no longer use it. Does anyone have any suggestions to replace it? TIA!

I love my Tonic, but you can still buy the CM trimmer online at CM.com or find a consultant.

The Tonic TH Guillotine trimmer is ! I was looking at this one. Seems to be a bit bigger than my old CM one which isn't a bad thing, to be honest. |

I have the Tonic 6-inch and the 12-inch (the one with the 12x12 inch platform) guillotine cutters, and carry them with me to crops, I love them so much.
You could also find a local CM rep and buy a new CM cutter; CM is back, and better than ever.

Santa treated me to a mini trimmer upgrade. My old blue CM one was whacking the top right edge and I've enjoyed my Tim Holtz mini guillotine trimmer immensely!! It's so accurate and love the over-sized guide that makes sure my paper stands still.

I have 2 Tonic Guillotines which I love. The small one is a good size for cards.

I have the Tonic 8 1/2 inch trimmer. Sometimes it is called a 9 inch trimmer. I use it constantly for trimming photos, mats, and cardmaking. |

The Tonic Tim Holtz travel size trimmer is great. Cuts well and doesn’t take up a ton of space.

I might just have to get a small trimmer as well. My friend that I scrap with used to work at CM (their headquarters was in our town) and she uses her small trimmer all the time. I’ve always wanted one but never think to buy one.

The Tonic mini is great except don't expect to cut 81/2 x 11 paper lengthwise! I make my cards lengthwise.

I’ve always wanted one but never think to buy one. Once I bought my tiny trimmer, I immediately fell in love. I keep it in my Tonic Studios Table Tidy. So easy to grab and use. It travels so well too. |

I can't remember if it just seemed like the blade wasn't as sharp as it should be (even with a new blade) or if it was crooked, or what. I just remember that I said I wanted a new trimmer. But maybe I just need to get the smaller one. I don't know if I scrapbook enough to buy a really expensive trimmer. We will see. I am going to stop at some stores later and see what they have. |

I saw someone using one of these a couple weeks ago at the last SB retreat I went to; I'd never seen one before, but I was intrigued. She also had the 'side' things hooked onto it. She said she uses it to hold all of her photos. |

i have one that was given to me. can't remember what brand but it's orange. probably fiskars? anyway, i rarely use it because i can never tell where it's going to cut. i have bad eyes and i'm always screwing up the cuts.
hope you enjoy your new trimmer OP!

So, I stopped back at the local (large) craft store and got the Tim H 12.25 trimmer. They didn’t have the smaller one. I’m going to see if one of the other stores has it, but am wondering if I will regret having both (taking up too much space, etc)? Or should I get them both?

I really like having a mini-trimmer for when I'm cutting small pieces of paper for making cards, trimming 3x4 cards, cropping photos, etc. It's much easier to get it right up close to my body (if you know what I mean) so I can see what I'm doing better and trim off tiny SLIVERS of paper to get the photo or card just the right size.
I don't know how they do it, either, but my guillotine cutters never seem to get dull and tear the paper like the old purple/orange Fiskars cutter blades always used to.

I have both Fiskar's and Tonic guillotine cutters. Both work great. You should be happy with either one.
