Review: 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!
Review: Brilliant kit - Wasn’t expecting to pay this when I first starting looking into it, but glad I purchased this version. I trim sizes up to and including a1 on this - it’s brilliant. Easy to use

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Taskmaster of straight cutting!

### ⭐ Very disappointing, design not rigid enough for the large size. Buy a Dahle 446 instead!
*by A***E on 26 January 2024*

I bought the Dahle 556 Trimmer to cut cardstock mounting boards. These are well within the stated thickness capacity of this trimmer. However, the structure is just not rigid enough for a trimmer of this large size. The long rail on which the trimming blade runs is too flexible, unless you press very hard it allows the blade to lift off the fixed metal trimming edge it cuts against and run on top of it instead, giving you a distorted cut and ruining the card before it jams completely. This also blunts the blade edge very quickly and the problem just gets worse, making the trimmer unusable. If you need a trimmer this large buy a Dahle 446 instead. They cost a bit more for this size but are more rigid and hence work properly!
