552 Professional A3 Self-Sharpening Paper Trimmer, Dual Guide Bar, Automatic Clamp, Safety Protection Cutter, Blue

Having recently purchased an A3 printer, I thought it was time to upgrade from using a stanley/craft knife and ruler and I am pleased with my choice. The cutting mechanism is precise and capable of taking the smallest strip from the edge of the page. It is very sharp and I have used it to cut multiple sheets at the same time - from standard printer paper to 350gsm card and specialist photo papers. The trimmer is well made and robust. I have find the measuring guides/rulers to be precise and easy to use/read. Worth reading the instructions (my initial approach was "how hard can it be") as it does provide useful information on how to use the trimmer to best effect/get the best results. Whilst space is not a problem (for me) It is worth noting that it does have a significantly larger footprint than an A3 piece of paper and it is heavier than I was expecting but is reflective in the quality and ability to deal with oversize A3 formats. I strongly recommend.

This rotary trimmer by Dahle, one of the leading manufacturers of this type of product, arrived safely and well packaged. This heavy duty trimmer is solidly made and reassuringly heavy, over 5kg (I bought the 552 model in A3 size). It does have a large footprint so be aware of this when buying. The cutter rail is much more robust than others on the market, allowing for a good accurate clean cut from the self sharpening blade. The nonslip feet hold the trimmer steady in use. The metal base has markings in A sizes, metric and imperial. I found these markings to be spot on and square to the blade. It does come with a magnetic alignment guide which, although I haven't used it, seems to be accurate too. In use, the automatic clamp holds the paper tight freeing up one hand. The booklet states that paper up to 2mm can be cut. Not really a useful figure as paper and card comes in weight rather than thickness! I've used the cutter for watercolour paper up to 350gsm with no issues. Yes, it's expensive compared to many Chinese trimmers which are flimsy and inaccurate. The expression 'buy once, cry once' springs to mind!

This is an absolute beast of a cutter! Accuracy is pretty good, you just gotta get the knack of it and then you are off to the races. The cutting thinness is insane. Great for cutting multiple pieces of paper and having the sizing is helpful

Good trimmer, but the guide (with the red button) feels flimsy and plasticky and not completely straight, making it useless. Now I've had trimmers before with dodgy guides but I would've expected a better quality guide at this price point. Other than that it's a very sturdy cutter and cuts perfectly through up to 350gsm cardstock paper. Can make super sharp milimetrical cuts for extra precision.

As a front running brand, you expect good quality and this delivers - excellent value for money. We use this in a studio for cutting film, excellent quality and cutting accuracy. Very quiet glide and easy to use. The quality is the same as the one we have just replace (same brand) that lasted over 10yrs.

The box was very poorly constructed and ripped due to the banding. Additionally, the box was a bit damp, which made it easy to tear. There was no English manual included. Although the cutter seems to be functioning properly, it is a bit stiff when trying to cut 80 gsm paper. Overall, it does the job, but at £114, I expected better quality from a company that prides itself on customer care. I later realised that this product did not come directly from Dahle; it was drop-shipped from Staples UK. Overall, I am disappointed, but it does the job

I'm very happy with the this item. The cutting bar is sturdy and inflexible, which is needed to ensure good cuts along the length. It's performance had been excellent to date, and I see no sign of wear or deterioration. The size is large enough for all paper or card I regularly use and fit for purpose. I would not call this light weight, although compared to the wooden based ones used in schools in the 1990s, I suppose it is. The base is hollow which is lighter than a solid base would be. The guide marks are useful, although I tend to use it left handed and cut right to left, so the marks are on the opposite side, but that's true of all cutters. I have found the paper clamp helpful in positioning the paper, however I always keep one hand on the paper as I cut to ensure it doesn't move, especially when cutting multiple sheets. I've found this to be necessary on every paper cutter I have used, so do not consider it a criticism of this model. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a reliable cutter that will stand up to years of use. Comes with a tiny Allan key screwdriver for removing the guide bars (which I only noticed when taking the photo of the hollow base.)

Went for the A3 version - it's a large, well constructed piece of kit which makes very clean cuts on ~6-8 sheets or fewer, but will still cut up to the advertised number of sheets with some slight fraying. Definitely best to use this on a large cutting mat / other grippy surface - the bottom is doesn't have rubberised grips to allow use on a table without it sliding around. Once stabilised it's a very smooth experience - the sliding stop can be precisely locked on the ruler allowing very consistent cuts and is sprung to keep it straight. Very easily able to put together notebooks with this as a result.

Absolutely love my Dahle 552 Professional Rotary Trimmer! As someone who handles a lot of paper at work, I needed something durable and precise, and this trimmer hits the mark perfectly. The build quality is top-notch, sturdy base that stays stable even when cutting thick stacks (up to 20 sheets, which it handled effortlessly). Cuts are incredibly clean; no fraying or uneven edges on my documents or cards. For anyone serious about quality trimming, this is an investment worth making. Highly recommend!

Meilleure rogneuse que j' ai utilisé

taglierina professionale ottima, di facile uso, precisa.

Asla kaydırma yapmıyor, ek aparatının altında mıknatıs sistemi ve kilitleme sistemi olmasından dolayı bıraktığın yerde sabit kalıyor. cift bıçaklı olmasından dolayı kesimi harika. pürüssüz, hızlı ve mükemmel kesimler yapılabilir. Kullanmadığınız durumlarda dik durması için ek bölüm yapmışlar. Bunun sayesinde daha az alan kaplıyor.
