Excellent, well-built equipment. Precise cutting. Recommended
This is a great trimmer, very robust and high quailty construction. The only negitive is
the instructions are very sparce. They don't explane what the little bar is for.
I saw a recommendation for this paper cutter about a year or so ago on DPReview. I wish I had bought this paper cutter then and not bought those other cheaper, light weight ones that wouldn't hold the paper securely nor cut precise lines or do fine trim work. This one works, and it works right! It's a joy to use.
The Dahle trimmer does a great job of making clean cuts on multiple layers of paper. The automatic presser bar holds the paper in place very well. It is difficult to align the uncut edge of a photo so that it will be cut exactly where you want. Multiple passes with repositioning are the norm for the first cut. It is not possible to cut anything smaller than about 2 inches due to the width of the presser bar--you can't position the paper under it.
This is buy far the best cutter I have used in a long time. Well designed and functional. Meets the needs of our engineering staff.
Great product just needs Standard american photo markings instead of the metric markings. It would be perfect if it had a adjustable stop on the right side of the cutter for strip cutting
