Dahle 554 Reviews

slightly out of alignment

This trimmer can't be relied on to cut square using the guides. And it has an ever so slight warp so a long piece will have a bow in the middle of the trim. If you need absolute accuracy, don't buy this.

Cuts are spot on,very accurate

I have used this probably a dozen times so far and the markings for measurements are accurate. It cuts very well and presses down on the paper being cut to ensure no movement which is important when cutting papers up to 28. I picked this size as I plan to cut papers up to around 25, so keep in mind the biggest size paper that you intend to cut. It is big but not very heavy. I stand it on end when not in use. So it doesn't take up table space.

Can this model cut a SINGLE sheet of 4-ply mat board? I'm hearing mixes responses from actual users online.
Asked by: Joan
It is not recommended to cut a a single sheet of 4-ply mat board with the Dahle 554 Professional Rotary Trimmer. I would recommend one from the premium series - Dahle 446 Premium Rolling Trimmer (36.25") BH #DAT36 • MFR #446 https://bit.ly/3UsElTY.
