Dahle 567 Premium Guillotine Trimmer, 21" Cut Length, 35 Sheet Capacity, Self-Sharpening Blade, Manual Clamp, w/Safety Guard

This paper cutter is incredible. Extremely precise, thanks to laser you will know exactly where the blade will cut. Clamps will hold your stack of papers in place, and you can cut through a decent stack at a time, this will save me lots of time making cards.

Beautiful clean cuts with little effort and great imprinted measurement guide on the cutting bed.Good tools are a pleasure to use and last longer than most. It comes at a price but is worth it in the long run! Here with this Dahl Trimmer you save time and get perfect professional results! Love it!

We use this to cut vinyl samples usually with a foam or a knit backing. Over time the cutting arm has become loose, so that it will fall down without notice. We tighten it and it's fine for awhile, but then it loosens up again. So far there have been no accidents, but we try to warn people before using the cutter. The guide marks are set up for European paper sizing. I've put graph paper with English sizing to help guide the cutting. Also there is both an English and Metric ruler at the top, but when you put something over it it's confusing to know what number you are on. I've also added a measure guide to the top of the guide bar to make lining things up a bit easier. Please see photo.

Absolutely amazing Cutter! I knew I was set on this brand when I found it. Better than any others out there. Lightweight, but extremely solid! the little rubber feet are even amazing, will not slide on table at all. Has heavy, very sharp, thick cutting blade, with a vertical mounted mating bar. most other cutters this bar is horizontal, less contact that way... Don't worry about the guard, it's awesome as well. I was worried about it obstructing view of cutting point, but it works perfectly and swivels out of the way for clear view. the pressure hold down works great, even a single sheet of newspaper wont slide … its also automatic, clamping as you slice down. I've cut 45 page booklet with ease, and will be using this trimmer exclusively for cutting wood veneer.

i love this cutter. it's very solid and heavy duty. i hope it lasts me a long time.

Product quality is Excellent. I received the Dahle 565 Guillotine Paper Cutter (Product Code 00565-21286 Identification No. 124491845) as scheduled. After review I noted the paper cutter was missing one of the non-skid rubber feet. Four are required for the cutter to set on a level surface. It would be greatly appreciated if you have access to a vender that could supply the missing non-skid rubber foot. Regards.

This is an excellent guillotine cutter that gives precise and clean cuts. You can cut about five sheets of heavyweight paper/cardstock against the grain without getting ragged edge so it's not suitable for quickly cutting a ton paper at once, but precision is what I'm after so this doesn't bother me. My only complaint because the back guide slides over the measurement guides printed on the machine I have concerns the paint will eventually wear away. I'm thinking about spraying it with a clear acrylic coat or putting down tape. Otherwise, I'm incredibly happy with this machine.

After struggling with the poor precision of other paper cutters, I'm in heaven with this one. A really, really smart design - one that cuts exact measurements, and securely holds the paper down flat while cutting. Like someone said, suffer once with the price, or suffer daily with the problems of a cheaper model. This one is just smart. And very well made. You get what you pay for.
