Review on 🔪 Dahle 550 Professional 14-Inch Rotary Trimmer: 20 Sheet Capacity, Self-Sharpening, Dual Guide Bar, Automatic Clamp - German Engineered Paper Cutter by Denise Davis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not suitable for cutting multiple sheets at once

I bought this cutter to replace my current guillotine cutter which is not very accurate and can only cut 2 sheets at a time. My goal is to cut multiple sheets (e.g. 5-8 pages of 60# - 80# color paper) to make my workflow more efficient. In short, if this is your goal, read on. After a lot of research I decided to try this rotary cutter, I couldn't find much information on how well it works with multiple sheets, most of the reviews/videos show it cutting photos and I'm sure it will work very well, one sheet at a time. I was able to get the cutter 2 sheets of 60# printer paper to cut before the edge got scratchy and dirty. With 4 leaves the cut is very coarse and slightly pinched towards the bottom. This can be caused by a small gap between the cutting head and the cutting edge. For example, if you shake the cutting head slightly, it has room to maneuver. Although the rail itself is aluminum, the brackets connecting the rails are made of flexible plastic, which resulted in sagging. This is a good cutter if you only need to cut 1-2 sheets or don't need a clean cut. However, if you have to use this all the time when you need to cut multiple sheets, you're probably looking for another solution. I hope this is helpful, I couldn't find this information while researching and now have to undo it, a slight improvement on my current solution just isn't worth it.
