Review: A good quality heavy duty cutter - 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!
Review: Great A3 Trimmer - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for studio cutting
*by B***D on 4 July 2025*

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.
