Demonstration Video
This is Dahle’s Premium Large Format Guillotine Paper Cutters.
As you can tell, the blade is quite massive—and your poor fingers are protected by a clear shield.
On the surface are many guides for paper sizes (including A2) and common angles.
It has inch and centimeter measurements and the edge guide is especially sturdy. Easily make adjustments and tighten it back up.
You can also move the edge guide to either side of the cutter.
Now lift the side tray up to prepare for our cut.
Evenly align your pages with the guides, grab the handle, press the foot pedal to clamp the pages in place and make your cut. and you’re done.
To ensure you make the right cut every time, you can ask for an optional laser guide.
Lastly, I tried to cut a larger stack of pages. And though it took quite a bit of force it did cut. I will note that the more pages you cut at a time, the less clean the cut will be—we recommend cutting less than 30 sheets.
And below you can store all your scraps, or really whatever you want down there.

When you select a paper cutter, you need to think about how many sheets you want to be able to cut at one time. A larger cutting capacity is generally better and the Dahle 585 certainly has one. It can cut up to 30 sheets at a time, so it's great for all kinds of jobs.
-
Another important consideration is the cutting length. Choosing a device that can cut large sheets of paper is generally a good idea unless you don't have room for a large trimmer. The Dahle 585 can cut paper that's up to 43 inches long, so you'll be able to use it for those really large projects.

The blade can be locked into place after cutting so there won't be any injuries. There's also a plastic safety shield that will keep your hands safe as you cut.
-
This cutter has a metal base which helps make the entire thing very durable. There inches and centimeters are both printed on it, along with an alignment grid, so you'll be able to get the most accurate cut possible. To keep your materials in place, there's a paper clamp that will help the pages from fanning. There's also an adjustable backstop to help make cutting easier.
-
The Dahle 585 has a cut-off shelf that can fold up when you're not using it. This can help reduce the amount of space the device takes up. The shelf will hold your paper scraps for you so they don't end up on the floor. Also, there's a shelf underneath the base that you can use for storage.
-
