Very displeased with this
First time I have used one of these . I recently took my photography to the next level and purchasedA printer and now I needed a trimmer as scissors just cut it if you will pardon the punThis certainly trims easily .Straight out of the box I found it very stiff to operate but it works fine after some effort .Worth the extra fewPennies in my opinion seems strong enough and very accurate as one would expectFromGerman engineeringAfter the third use with just ordinary Af paper the stiffness got even worse and the paper edges snagged and rather than cutting cleanly the blade left jagged edges so after numerous attempts I have set about returning this product . It isn’t user error I suspect it’s the blade but it’s just so hard to slide it at times I have given up and ordered another brand .As I have this ostentatiously for photos I would not trust this to cut cleanly

Fantastic A3 paper cutter.
This was my first time trying an A3 Dahle rotary cutter, and although the shopping experience on Amazon wasn't great on this occasion, this model of cutter which I purchased from a different website is still fantastic, so I felt I should provide a review of it.I needed an A3 cutter for work and after reading some reviews, Dahle is a name that came up often. I decided to go for this 508 model as the reviews seemed quite positive overall. When the order arrived from Amazon, it was the wrong model. Amazon were quick to put it right and offer a replacement but I needed it ASAP and couldn’t wait a few more days, so I ordered it from another website.The cutter, however, is perfect! It is a beautifully designed paper cutter for up to A3 size. The item is of excellent quality, well-made, and has a good weight to it. It feels strong and robust. The rubber foot in the middle provides great grip and stability. It's easy to take apart and maintain, and replacement blades are also available and reasonably priced.The cutter is very sharp and cuts perfect straight edges. Trimming can go right down to less than a millimetre. Before buying it, I read some reviews mentioning that the blade can get misaligned and cuts poorly with jagged edges, but I’ve not experienced that at all. I’ve had this cutter since February and used it daily, and it's still as sharp as the day I first used it. The blades glide smoothly and cut cleanly.The only thing I dislike about it is the sound it makes when it cuts; it goes through me, almost like a chalk on a chalkboard sound as the paper is cut. It still bothers me to this day, but it's a small price to pay for such a reliable cutter.I mostly cut thicker A3 sublimation paper, but I have also used it to trim photos down to size, and it works equally well. It can also cleanly cut multiple sheets at once without affecting the performance and accuracy of the blade. I think the most I've tried is six.It's quite expensive for an A3 rotary cutter, but the quality really does speak for itself. I can't recommend this enough; it's a great quality paper cutter.Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope that you found it helpful and that it assists you in your decision-making. I try to be as honest and fair as possible, as those have always been the reviews that helped me the most.

Delivery failure
Products great - let down by delivery leaving the parcel 200 meters away from our house on a public road by a neighbouring garage

Well made, would buy again
Sturdy and made of metal, the guillotine feels well made and expensive. The down side is that the blade sometimes jumps through track - usually caused by cutting too much at once or cutting something that's too thick for the guillotine to handle. It's easily fixed, with instructions on how to do so in the box, but a bit of a pain. If you continue to cut without fixing, it won't cut very well at all - i think this is the reason for some of the poor reviews for cutting quality.

Exactly what I needed in A3 size
Exactly what I needed. A3 size. Lightweight. Easily stored. Good value. Easy to use, enough surface area to line up for cutting. For the price, sharp: for the size A3: versatile for smaller pieces.

Does what it says.
This product is working very well as I would expect as it is brand new. My old one was years old though giving good service so needed replacing and this Paper Trimmer is proving to be a good replacement.

Product Broke within a few uses
After using the guillotine a few times, it immediately started getting caught on the plastic guide, leaving shards everywhere and no longer functioning. complete waste of time and money, and for £25 more than the amazon basics one, I'd expect it to at least function.Very, very poor. Would never buy again.

Very good trimmer
This trimmer is amazing, cuts my card very precisely. Is great to have a tool that is made so well. I had my A4 version for over 20 years before i replaced it with this A3 version. I totally recommend this product.

Smooth and easy to use - lightweight but really strong
Bought this smaller, more portable version of the trimmer I have at my workplace, and absolutely love it. Every use it gets better and smoother to operate. Like my larger version, this one's cutting wheel squealed a bit with first use, but after using it a few times, it has broken in beautifully and glides like ice on ice.I also appreciate that it's lightweight to carry when it needs to be transported and light enough to hang on the wall when stored, but is very stable and sturdy to use. It doesn't flex or bend at all, nor does it move around when in use. Very reliable and worth the price. If it's anything like the larger version, it will be used for years.
