Dahle 508 Personal Rotary Trimmer, 18" Cut Length, 5 Sheet Capacity, Self-Sharpening, Automatic Clamp, German Engineered Paper Cutter

I do a lot of scrapbooking and card making. So I do a lot of die cutting as well. I've used different craft paper cutters that always seem to need the blade replaced. This rotary trimmer however is very durable and I like the fact that the blade sharpens itself. It does very accurate cuts, works well and will cut five sheets of 92 lb cardstock. It is very easy to use. I also found the price to be very reasonable and a great value. I recommend this personal rotary trimmer for any Crafter.

I've used this cutter for quite awhile now and it's still going strong. It cuts through heavy cardstock with ease and the blade hasn't dulled at all. It's simple to use and works well for large and small cuts. I would definitely recommend purchasing this cutter.

Pros: The materials are top-notch, the blade is sharp and does clean cuts, and there are many guides to help you with your precision. The self honing will save you money in the long run. Previously I was using a Fiskar. After a year of constant use, the blade wore out and I had to buy another pack with blades which were more than half the price of the original cutter. Cons: It's hard to get used to aligning the paper for those precise cuts. The metal rail on the right side is ever so tilted or bent. I thought it was me until I finally switched to the left side. The Dahle is also not as exact as a wire guide like with the Fiskar. Overall it'll take a lot of practice cuts before you get cards just the way you want. Conclusion: If you're making proxies for the long haul, it's worth the investment.

This paper cutter was lousy from the start. I have ruined every sheet of paper and photo I've tried to cut with it. The "cut" edges look like the side of a saw blade. My good old fashioned scissors from the junk drawer cut cleaner than this "German engineered" paper cutter. I wish I hadn't given my old guillotine-style paper cutter away. It was a work horse compared to this over-priced, over-rated, under-performer. Sadly, because I didn't try this paper cutter within the 30 day return window, I'm unable to return it. Lesson learned. Also, the 18 inch model was not available through Prime, so if I did choose to return it, I would have to pay for the return shipping cost. Instead of ruining another project, I have decided to unfortunately, add this piece of junk to the landfill (UGH!) What a waste of resources and money!

Great machine, although if you're trying to cut on a line on the paper, you'll have to manually move the paper a couple of millimeters to the right of the edge to eyeball where the blade will actually cut. You'll need practice to figure out where this phantom cut line is, and really good lighting. My cheaper trimmer did not have this problem.

This unit works great for me. I had to buy this unit as my other unit will not trim 11 X 17 prints. It even cuts easily after i laminate the pics. very satisfied after about 50 11 X 17 prints. I will only use this unit for this size paper and keep my other trimmer for the smaller size prints. Nice compact size, and it looks great. I keep it in the box when not in use.

This is an excellent paper trimmer. I am an avid crafter, and use my Dahle trimmers, daily. I sell my crafts in my Etsy shop, so my cuts need to be nice and precise. I have two Dahles and they are well worth the money. I have the 550, which too big to move around, and the blue 507, 12 inch, in this listing. The 12 inch blue is not very heavy, and may be moved around, easily, although it is heavier than your average plastic trimmer. If you are familiar with the plastic trimmers that most crafters use, then this will be a huge step-up. It cuts precisely. In order to make skinny cuts, gently remove the plastic ruler/paper holder. It’s easy. Be gentle. SEE VIDEO. Also, there is a small learning curve: Know your cutter, and learn how to maintain it. This is not a plastic hobby-store trimmer. BTW, I changed the blade in my huge trimmer, once, in 4 years. The blade replacements cost about 20.00. I’ve spent more than this on my plastic trimmer blades. In fact, I could have purchased many Dahle trimmers with the money I’ve spent on the plastic trimmer blades. I keep my blade clean and oiled, every few months. In other words, I maintain the trimmer.

J’avais besoin de couper net des cartons pour aquarelle. Résultat impeccable.

Rewelacyjna przycinarka! Kolisty nóż idealnie tnie trudne materiały, przycina perfekcyjnie zdjęcia na papierze fotograficznym. Nie ma żadnego porównania z przycinarkami z nożem w kształcie zaostrzonego czubka.

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.
