Great cutter, but not for ne
1. Impossible to do interior cuts, like you would need to do for a picture frame. 2. Struggles with 9 sheets of 24 lb. paper. 3. Very clean cuts 4. Magnetic guide bar and automatic clamp make relative cuts a breeze

Amazing quality and guaranteed cut an angle.
This unit is not cheap, but it is the best paper cutter I’ve used. And having worked in photography since the early 80s, I’ve used my fair share of paper cutters.

high quality rotary trimmer, made in Germany
pros: solid, smooth action, well built, clean cuts; definitely German quality cons: it is on expensive side

Sturdy, professional cutter
I bought this for my son who is a digital artist and sells his prints. He needed something more heavy duty than the plastic cutter from Michael’s crafts. This cutter is exceptionally well made. It’s solid (made of metal) and meticulously designed german engineering. Expensive but well worth the price. My son said the blade is very sharp and precise and that he is able to trim even the thinnest edges cleanly.

Most durable and precise cutter I know of
Dahle rotary cutter is absolutely the best!. I have used this a lot since its purchase. I use it heavily to cut out laminated tags. I learned a trick to make cutting way easier. I place two small rechargeable led flashlights, one at either end under the cutting head on the table below the cutter. It makes it crystal clear to illuminate the cutting edge through your material from below for precise cutting.

Angle helper is off
Most things about the unit are great. However, the 90 degree helper bar that came with my unit doesn't hold true 90 degrees. No matter what I do with it, it always drifts inward slightly. I tried to take a picture of it to illustrate. Notice how the helper is closer to the line at the end than it is near its base

Quality product
Bought this for my wife. I would give it 5 stars for quality and ease of use but knocked one star off because my wife complained that the cutting smaller strips were difficult to do simply because once you cut a piece less than a 1 1/4 " it is difficult because the clear plastic band stops you from being able to manipulate and cut straight. One feature this unit has that is awesome is the angle marks for making precise cuts.

Great Cutter
Absolutely love the cutter. Had a smaller one, different brand, that broke and replaced with this one and couldn't be happier.

Perfezione Dahle.
Robusta, giustamente surdimensionata , consente tagli ripetuti perfetti, grazie alla rama rotante autoaffilante. Ottima per lavori professionali. Lunghezza di taglio Bis A2 da 720 millimetri. nuovo modello Generation 3. Ottima la guida di alluminio rinforzata sulla quale scorre il carrello della lama circolare.

Taskmaster of straight cutting!
As a mixed media artist I tend to build my work onto the paper thus often leading to warping or using heavy gsm papers. This trimmer has made light work of cutting through all of it. Which is very impressive as many others have failed. I find that I can get 100% accuracy in finding where I want to cut and a straight cut every time. Also with the double rotary bar the gig feels solid and does not wobble unlike other single bar trimmers! I couldn’t be happier with this paper trimmer and I would recommend it thoroughly!
