Welcome to MyBinding video. Let's take a look at the Dahle Vantage 18E, a personal 18-inch guillotine paper cutter. Lightweight, portable, and clever, the Vantage 18E is a great guillotine trimmer. You undo the lock one-handed by moving it down and out to the right. As you lift the blade, the automatic paper clamp moves into place to hold your work securely. When all lined up on the grid, make your cut. Clean up is simple and you lift the blade to release your paper. The Vantage 18E comes with a removable fence. This allows you to tighten down and make consistent cuts through many projects. The all-metal base is not only lightweight, it's also very long. At 18 inches, oversize documents are no problem. The Dahle Vantage 18E claims to cut up to 15 sheets of 20lb paper at a time. However, when we tried 15 sheets, we had a difficult time. So, we tried for 12, and that seemed to be the ticket and worked really well. When the blade and the fence are locked down, it's very lightweight and easily portable around the office.

Dahle Vantage 18E Personal Guillotine Paper Cutter Review

If you want a personal-sized guillotine paper cutter, one that might be perfect for you is the Dahle Vantage 18E. This is a well-made device that can make cutting easy and fast. Here’s what you need to know about it.

  • The Vantage 18E has a decent cutting capacity for a personal-sized guillotine cutter. It has the ability to trim up to 15 sheets of paper at a time, so you can definitely use it for both small and medium-sized jobs.
  • As far as this device’s cutting capacity is concerned, it has the longest one out of all of Dahle’s Vantage trimmers. It can cut paper that’s up to 18 inches long, such as tabloid-sized sheets (11” x 17”). This is really the trimmer to get out of this series because you’ll be able to trim both large and small paper with it.
  • As with most of their paper cutters, Dahle has made the Vantage 18E with high-quality materials. Both the blade and base are made from pure metal so you’ll be able use to this device a lot and have it stay in good shape.
  • An important thing to think about when purchasing a guillotine cutter is what kind of safety features it has. The Vantage 18E has one of the most important safety features around: a spring-loaded blade. The spring helps keep the blade in one place no matter if it’s raised or lowered. This prevents it moving from inopportune times and possibly causing an injury. The blade can also be locked into place when you’re done with your work so someone won’t be able to run his/her fingers along the edge and end up getting cut.
  • The Vantage 18E comes with a paper clamp that will keep your sheets flush. They won’t be able to fan when they’re under the clamp, so you’ll wind up with the cut you need instead of a bunch of inappropriately cut sheets. To further ease the cutting process, there’s an alignment grid printed on the base so you can measure your materials before trimming them.
  • This is one of Dahle’s more compact trimmers. It measures a mere 21” x 15.75” so you’ll be able to find room for it on just about any work surface.
  • This product is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Basically, if you’re on the lookout for a personal-sized guillotine trimmer, you couldn’t do much better than the Dahle Vantage 18E. It has all the characteristics of a Dahle product including the great materials to make it and the excellent warranty. The cutting length will enable you to work with both large and small sheets, while also cutting a good number of them at a time. The safety features ensure a mostly risk-free cutting experience, and the paper clamp and alignment grid make it easy to cut your paper the right way the first time. Simply put, the Vantage 18E is a must-have device if you need this type of device, so be sure to take a look at it today.

Questions & Answers

There is not a replacement arm/blade you are correct, the expense to get that part would be more expensive than the expense of purchasing a new unit. Most types of cutters such as these do not offer replacement blades.https://media.mybinding.com/media/manuals/dahle-vantage-12e-15e-18e-pc-manual.pdf this is the link to the user manual

Thank you for your question. The Dahle Vantage 18E Personal 18 Inch Guillotine Paper Cutter should be able to cut the 2 and 4 ply mat board one at a time but the 8 ply may be a bit to thick and would need a more robust trimmer.

Thank you for your question. The Dahle Vantage 18E should have no issues cutting laminated sheets. You will have the most success cutting laminated sheets one at a time due to the fact that laminated stock can slip when stacked on top of each other.
