Welcome to MyBinding video. Today we look at Dahle's 12-inch personal rotary trimmer with extra decorative heads. Great for the home or small office and excellent for crafters all around, this personal trimmer slices right on the line. Solid, spacious work surface, the measuring tools are plentiful and the blade is sharp. This trimmer can handle up to seven sheets of 20lb paper in a single trim. This latest revision of the trimmer includes three decorative heads. It is a great bonus for finishing as well as for those who do crafting and scrapbooking. The red lock is released from the back and the pole slides out. The trimmer head is removed and the new one is placed on. When all is in place, lock it up with the red tab. With these additional trim heads you need to use the additional cutting mats. They slide and snap right in the groove and you can begin your project. You can roll the trimmer either direction and the results are stunning. In addition to the straight blade, this package includes deckle, perforated, and a wavy blade; each of them creating their own unique style and used for different purposes. And all the blades are interchanged the same way. That's the Dahle 507 12-inch personal trimmer. For more demos, reviews, and how-tos, check out MyBinding.com.
Staff Review
Dahle Personal Trimmer Kit Review
Whether you work in an office or are a creative type, a rotary trimmer can be a big help. Without a rotary trimmer (also known as a rolling trimmer), it can be difficult to get a totally straight cut and not run the risk of injuring yourself. After all, using a straight edge and craft knife can lead to precise cuts, but using such tools increase the likelihood of an injury. A rotary trimmer, such the one in Dahle's Personal Trimmer Kit, can both give you the ability to cut your documents and stay safe. Plus, this kit can allow you to get creative, thanks to the different blades Dahle has included. To find out about the pros (and cons) of this kit, please keep on reading.
The Pros:
-
The trimmer included in the Personal Trimmer Kit is the 12.5-inch Dahle personal rolling trimmer (model #507). This trimmer can cut a variety of different materials including copier paper, card stock, photographs, art paper, and laminating film.
-
This rotary trimmer is safe to use because the blade is encased in plastic. This means you'll never come into contact with the blade, even when changing from a straight blade to a decorative blade and vice versa. The blades can cut in either direction and they're self-sharpening, so they'll last a good, long time.
-
Dahle has included four different kinds of blades with this trimmer. The first is a straight blade and the other three are decorative ones that can perforate your paper, as well as create wavy and deckle edges. This allows you to create beautiful greeting cards, scrapbook pages, and the like, as well as produce more professional documents.
-
The trimmer has a metal base that's imprinted with a protractor and both standard and metric measurements. There's also a paper clamp that helps keep your item steady when you cut it.
-
The trimmer is lightweight, so it's portable. This is good if you frequently work away from the office or if you need to take the trimmer to school or to a crafting get-together.
Cons:
-
Dahle really put a lot of thought into creating this kit, but it will cost you. The Personal Trimmer Kit retails for just under $110.00, which will make it too expensive for some people, especially in the current economy.
-
These kits only contain the 12.5-inch Dahle personal rolling trimmer, so they're unsuitable for cutting paper that is longer than that length.
-
Some people might find the cutting capacity a bit limited since the trimmer can only cut up to seven sheets of paper. If you need to work with larger amounts of paper (or larger paper in general), a guillotine cutter would probably be a better choice.
Overall, the Personal Trimmer Kit is a great choice if you want the safety and convenience of a rotary trimmer, as well as a selection of specialty blades. This product is easy to use, produces great-looking results, and is good for both creative and professional use. If you need a rotary trimmer, be sure to check out the Dahle Personal Trimmer Kit.
