Review: Excellente qualité de découpe - J’avais besoin de couper net des cartons pour aquarelle. Résultat impeccable.
Review: Amazing Quality! - This trimmers was above and beyond what I was expecting in terms of quality and performance. I've tried some of the less expensive trimmers but was unhappy with their inability to cut a clean edge in the card stock I was using, or with their flimsy design. The Dahle trimmer has heft to it and even after making thousands, if not tens of thousands of cuts, it still cuts as though it was brand new.

A: Dahle sells replacement parts direct.  A member of the Customer Relations Team would be happy to help you place your order by phone at 800-995-1379.

**Q: New vs Old. Is the new version better?**
A: No. I’ve had a couple of the old design and love them. Smooth, and after yrs, seem to never dull— self sharpening also. The new design SQUEAKS horribly. After realizing that, I ordered another that was listed as the old design. I received a new model again. :( Also squeaks. Now I have no idea what to order. I’ve relied on Dahle for abt a decade. Hated Fiskars and the guillotine type (neither have had accurate 90° angles. What do I order now?? Bring back the old design, Dahle. Please?

**Q: Do you have free returns?**
A: I would say yes, for the most part, as long as it's within 30 days. Richard.
