Dahle 561 Premium Guillotine Trimmer, 14-1/8" Cut Length, 35 Sheet Capacity, Self-Sharpening Blade, Automatic Clamp, w/Safety Guard

The packaging was good, aside from the fact that there was no tape on the switch to prevent it from turning on while you were shipping it. Upon delivery, the unit had the switch on and was drained of its batteries. After putting in new batteries, the device works fine, though I'm a little worried that it spent too much time on. I got this for making 3x5 pocket reference cards for students and residents (I teach at a medical school). A heavy-duty One of them is the 1200E, which cuts large stacks (1-3) 3" = 43 mm) quite well, just isn't as accurate as it should be. There is something wrong with my X-ray One card can only be cut at a time by the Acto laser paper cutter however, the laser allows this to be done much more accurately than by using my heavy-duty blade. A cutter that works as a duty stack. There's a limit to how much you can cut at a time 3/16" (5mm). As shown in the manual (which has pictures, but not text), adjusting the laser can be done No, you need metric Allen wrenches for both screws, 3 mm for the large screw that adjusts angle) and 2 mm for the small screw that adjusts side-to-side The position is to one side. There is a very high degree of finickiness involved in adjusting the laser (which I had to do). A statutory act. As it turns out, the plastic guard can rotate all the way up to block the laser beam so that it is only visible for about 2/3 of the length of the cutting edge when the handle is fully raised. While I was happy to leave the plastic guard in place, I had to remove it to bring down my larger stack cutter (it locks in the up position and I did have to unlock it to lower it), before I realized it interfered with the laser, so I purchased this specific Using my split ring pliers, I removed the safety guard and now the laser runs along the entire As soon as I've used the program for a while, I'll update this.

You are an amazing cutter! My choice of brand was clear as soon as I stumbled upon It is better than any other. The weight is light and the quality is excellent! I also love that the rubber feet of the chair will not slide on the Features a thick, heavy cutting blade, which is extremely sharp. The cutting bar is vertically mounted. The horizontal nature of this bar makes it less likely to cause contact with the blade. As for the guard, it is equally as awesome as you are. Although I was worried about the device obstructing the central area of the cutting, it works perfectly and swivels out of the way for a The pressure hold down is a great feature, even a single sheet of newspaper doesn't slide . . . it's also automatic, clamping as you slice. The trimmer was very easy to use. I cut a 45 page booklet with ease, and will exclusively use it to cut.

It is easy to use and very precise. I love this guillotine cutter it gives precise and clean cuts and you can cut about five sheets of heavyweight paper at once without getting board edges. It might not be the best for cutting lots of paper at once, but since I'm after precision, I don't mind. One reason why I have concerns is that because the back guide slides over the measurement guides printed on the machine, the paint will eventually deteriorate. It might be best to spray it with a clear acrylic coat or put down tape on top of it. The rest of the time, this machine has been incredibly good to me.

This is typically used to cut vinyl samples with a foam or There has been an increase in the looseness of the cutting arm it falls down without notice. We tighten it and it's fine for a while, but then it loosens To date, there have been no accidents related to the cutter, but we communicate messages before people use it. It has been set up according to the European paper size. There is a graph paper with English size on my cutting table to guide my cuts. Also, there's an English and metric ruler at the top, but when you place something over it, it's hard to tell what number you're on when you're looking at it. Moreover, I added a measure guide to the top of the guide bar so that things might line up more easily. The photo can be seen here.

The 124491845) schedule is Upon reviewing, I noticed one of the non-attachments had been removed from the paper cutter The rubber feet have a non-skid surface. It is essential for the cutter to be level on a flat surface that has four levels. I would like to know if you have access to a supplier that can supply the missing non-toxic chemicals A rubber foot with a skid resistance. My best regards.

The good precision that this paper cutter provides has me in heaven after struggling with the poor precision of other ones. The design is really, really smart With exact measurements and a safe, secure way to hold the paper while it is being cut, it is the best. Unless you want to deal with daily problems of an inferior model, do the work once with the price and do the work daily with a cheaper one. The design of this one is just smart. It's properly made, too. The quality of the product is determined by the price.

I have not had a good paper cutter before. This one is the best so far. I only wish I had the budget to buy for larger paper pieces.

My only complaint is that within a month of using it, the back of the blade has chipped where the initial cut begins, leaving a bit of a defect look in the While I am hoping for a blade replacement from the company, being in Hawaii I don't expect that to happen. Although this piece of equipment is great, it is also beginning to rust due to the weather conditions we have here. Similarly, my wife and I had rotatrims for over a year with no issues. Safeguards are a great feature. The device is sharp and functions as intended.
