The 508 Personal Rolling Trimmer from Dahle trims paper, photos, and cardstock up to 18" long and can cut up to five sheets at a time. Great for photographers, craft enthusiasts, and office professionals, this lightweight and portable rotary cutter features a ground steel blade encased in protective housing for safety, and a triangular aluminum guide bar to provide strength and prevent twisting out of alignment. The self sharpening blade cuts in both directions, so removing even the tiniest sliver of paper produces a clean, burr-free cut. The baseboard features imperial and metric alignment scales for precise paper placement, and the automatic paper clamp holds work firmly to prevent slipping and fanning while trimming. The sturdy metal base provides a solid work foundation and will never warp or crack and has rubber feet to prevent slipping while working.

Dahle 508 Reviews
Cuts Great! Not Good for Precision Cuts!
I love how this product has a self-sharpening blade every time you cut. The blade cuts with ease. I'm using it to trim paper made of a vinyl sticker layer plus 200gsm paper, and it slices through cleanly without bending the edges, which was my main concern. However, this trimmer does take some time to understand where the cutting line actually is. It’s hard to line up the paper precisely. I know cheaper brands have a marker showing exactly where the blade will cut, but this one requires a few practice runs before you get the hang of it. Trust me— even after you think you’ve mastered it, you may still make a mistake here and there. It can be stressful if you're a perfectionist.
work as expected.
precise cut and sharp.
