This is the Dahle 556 Professional 37-1/2 Inch Rolling Trimmer!

When the blade passes over the paper clamp it helps keep your pages in place when cutting.

There is an adjustable edge guide as well to align your pages with.  It can also be move to anywhere on the cutter surface since it’s magnetic.

And the blade head can cut from both the left and the right.

There are guides for common angles in the center, and even several lengths of common paper sizes.

It’s important to mention, that if you try trimming too many pages, it just won’t work.  The blade will roll right over them without cutting. This should be used as a precision cutter with only a few pages.

If working with larger formats, there are hooks so you can hang a roll and keep your work together.

With the stand, cutting larger banners is made easy.  And all the trimmings fall below to be cleaned when it’s convenient.  You can buy it with the stand, or separate.

Staff Review

Dahle Professional Large-Format Rolling Trimmers Review

Rotary trimmers are great tools that can produce precise clean cuts on all of your documents, no matter what their size. You can even cut really large items with these tools. One product that does just that is the Dahle Professional Large-Format Rolling Trimmer. There are two sizes of this trimmer available and both of them feature great construction and a first-rate warranty. So here’s an in-depth look at both the advantages and disadvantages of these trimmers.

Advantages

  • There are two models in this series and each one of them has a different cutting capacity and length. The 556 can cut up to 14 sheets of paper and it has a cutting length of 37.5 inches. The other model, the 558, can cut 12 sheets that are up to 51 inches in length.
  • These cutters are great for a wide variety of cutting needs. Since they are so large, you can trim a lot of larger documents with them such as posters, press sheets, and so on. These tools can also be used to trim photographic paper and laminated items.
  • Both of these units are large and while they will take up a fair amount of space, they can be wall-mounted for your convenience. Also, you can purchase a floor stand (also made by Dahle) if you prefer. A floor stand is a great item to have because it has a waste tray that will catch your scraps as you work.
  • These trimmers are made to last thanks to their sturdy bases (made entirely of metal) and the superb steel blade that’s been placed in a plastic case for your protection. Each trimmer’s base has both standard and metric measurement units on it, as well as a protractor. (A protractor can help you if you need to make an angled cut and not a straight one.) As for the blade, it is self-sharpening and will cut in two directions (up and down). The blade is sharp enough to give your documents a perfect cut even after the trimmer has been used a lot. Each unit also has a paper clamp.
  • Both of these products have a lifetime warranty that covers everything except the paper clamp and blade.

Disadvantages

  • As previously noted, these cutters are pretty big and will take up a fair amount of room. This could cause a problem if you don’t have much free space in your work area.
  • If you do need to purchase a floor stand for your trimmer, it will cost you more money. The stands for these cutters will cost you several hundred more dollars, so be aware of that. It is a good idea to buy the stand at the same time as you buy the cutting unit. Shipping the stand can be quite expensive if you purchase it separately.
  • These products only come in one color: bright, electric blue. While the color of these products might not bother some people, chances are some individuals won’t be too thrilled with Dahle’s color choice.
  • A cutting capacity of 12-14 sheets is okay but not great. If you need to cut more than that, a Dahle large-format guillotine cutter would be a better choice.

Although Dahle professional large-format rolling trimmers are expensive, they’re really high-quality products that will make the trimming of large documents an easier task. So if you need a large-format cutter, you should really consider these products.
