Dahle Premium 446 Rolling Trimmer [Office Product]

This is a game changer. I regret the years of buying cheap efforts only for them to break or need new blades. I could have bought one of these and saved so much money. I’m embarrassed about all the projects I sent out with jagged edges thinking this was just one of those things. I believe this is self sharpening so I’m confident those days are well in the past. This cuts amazingly well, even on multiple layers of card. I was amazed to discover it even cuts thin organza fabric - something even the sharpest punches and blades struggle with. The unit is refreshingly squarely aligned, unlike many cheaper units I’ve tried - some of which have bizarre 5 star ratings... I was swayed by the review by the printing company who demand professional quality and I’m glad I was. This is the best purchase I’ve made in years, I just wish it hadn’t taken me years to make the investment.

This is an excellent paper cutter and definitely worth the money. It's very accurate and easy to use. It's also incredibly sharp and gives nice clean, straight cuts to even 350gsm card.It feels very sturdy and well made, and it's also easily serviceable, as replacement rotary blade heads can be bought from Dahle when the blades start to dull.Only downsides are it is quite heavy so isn't easy to move around if you're small like me. Additionally, the clear plastic guard that is designed to hold paper in place during cutting can't be removed which means you can't cut anything smaller than the guard because you can't hold it straight. This is an issue for cutting business cards and other similar sized items down. But otherwise it is an excellent product and does a great job.

I really enjoyed using this trimmer UNTIL it rusted. The metal cutting strip that is on the trimmer is covered in rust on multiple places and staining any paper that I cut on it. It has never ever touched water, or be in a damp place. I am shocked that this trimmer has rusted so fast, considering I have much older trimmers that have never rusted. This is the most expensive trimmer I own and I am very annoyed that it rusted so fast. Big thumbs down.

This paper cutter is outstanding and worth every penny. After being disappointed for over a year with a cheaper type that left ragged card edges, I was delighted to find that this one cuts card cleanly and crisply making it perfect for a neat finish. I use it to make cards and it is amazing. It’s sturdy and solid, very easy to use and can’t be faulted. I’m tempted to get the A4 size one now for travel.

It's early days, having only arrived this week, but I am already wowed by this trimmer. It makes life so much easier being able to duplicate cuts and everything seems square, which it isn't on my smaller A4 trimmer.It's taken me over a year to work up to spending this much on a trimmer, but I wish I'd bought it sooner. It cuts well and feels robust. It's quite large to store.
