The Dahle 550 14-1/8" Professional Rolling Trimmer is a large format trimmer seen in engineering departments, framing shops, galleries and schools around the world. It quickly and effortlessly cuts large workpieces to precise size. Its features include ground upper and lower steel blades along with an automatic paper clamp. The rugged base helps maintain its stability while the clearly marked surface grid gives you precise registration points.
As with all Dahle Rotary Trimmers, safety is ensured by totally enclosing the blade in a plastic housing. For larger pieces (or even for small ones), this trimmer can be wall mounted for even more exact cuts.

Comments about Dahle 550 Professional Rolling Trimmer (14-1/8"):
I needed a rolling trimmer to cut 180lb laminated cardstock. I first bought a Carl, but I have been unable to cut very thin slices, the cardstock slides and I end up with a wavy cut. My new Dahle is AMAZING, it slices tiny slivers of the cardstock with an absolute straight edge. I love it!

I have a photography business and have owned several trimmers over the years. This is the best trimmer I have ever owned. It is extremely well made, cuts precisely (even a thin sliver), and is very easy to use. I especially like the pressure plate that holds the paper firmly while cutting. With it's solid construction and self sharpening blade, I expect it to last for years. I highly recommend this product.

Slices through heavy photo paper, accurately! Self sharpens, and does not use a sacrificial mat like some other rottary cutters out ther.

I decided to print years worth of photos stored on my computer and put them in an album. After trimming the first 75 photos carefully with a scissors, I wondered if those treasured family moments were worth the trouble. There had to be a better way. Searching the net I found the Dahle 550 trimmer and read the reviews and ordered it from B&H. I had about 100 8.5" X 11" photos printed from my computer, each page with multiple photos that needed trimming. I sat down and made about a thousand cuts in less than an hour. The trimmer was complete right out of the box. It's wonderful. Buy it!

I had wanted to upgrade my print trimmer and had selected the Dahle 550 well over a year ago, but didn't purchase it until a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm kicking myself for waiting. The Dahle 550 is the finest trimmer I've ever used. What I like the most is it's ability to trim off a minute amount of paper to make a very clean edqe. I also like the way it firmly holds the photo for a perfectly straight cut with no fingerprints on the print.
