Dahle 500 Personal Rolling Trimmer Review
A personal rolling trimmer is a great item to have around whether you’re a crafter, student, or even the owner of a home-based business. One of the best trimmers available is the Dahle 500. Here’s some information about it so you can learn what it has to offer.
- The Dahle 500 has an impressive cutting capacity for a personal trimmer. It can handle up to 7 sheets of paper at a time so you’ll be able to get your paper cut faster. You can even use this device to cut photographs as well as thin cardstock.
- This cutter can trim paper that’s up to 9 inches long, including letter-sized sheets that measure 8.5” x 11”. Honestly, the cutting length isn’t the best, especially since you’ll only be able to cut a letter-sized sheet on the 8.5” side. But if you’re using this trimmer for crafts and whatnot, the cutting length should be okay.
- The Dahle 500 has a steel blade that’s self-sharpening. That means you won’t have to do anything to maintain it. You’ll also be able to cut up and down which makes processing your paper much easier.
- Using this trimmer is pretty safe because the blade is in a plastic casing. You’ll still want to be careful using it though, just to be on the safe side.
- The Dahle 500 has a durable metal base that has cutting guides printed on it. The guides will help you cut your paper down to the desired size. There are standard and metric measurements available so you can measure your materials before cutting them. (Make sure you place the paper underneath the included clamp beforehand so your pages don’t fan.)
- One of the best things about the Dahle 500 is that it’s relatively small and lightweight. It weighs a mere 2 pounds so you’ll be able to transport it easily. Despite its weight, however, this cutter is well-constructed so you can get a lot of use out of it.
- Finally, this product is backed by an exceptional limited lifetime warranty.
The Dahle 500 is a great rolling trimmer for both personal and professional use. The 7-sheet cutting capacity is great for a cutter like this and it will enable you to quickly trim your paper. The cutting length could be improved a bit, but if you’re using this device for items such as greeting cards and photographs, it should be okay. You’ll find that this trimmer is very safe to use and that the cutting guides are very helpful in getting your paper down to the size you need. Also, the fact that this cutter is portable makes it very appealing. You can take it just about anywhere you need so you’ll always have a high-quality cutting tool on-hand. And if you run into any problems with it, you always have the limited lifetime warranty to fall back on. With so many reasons to buy the Dahle 500, you should take a look at it today. You’ll be glad that you did.
