  • Our take on the Dahle Professional Rotary Trimmer 552

    The Dahle 552 is a professional rotary trimmer with a 28.8-inch cut length, aimed at print shops, offices and schools that cut large sheets all day. It uses a self-sharpening rotary blade in a guided carriage, so cuts stay straight and fingers stay clear of the edge. Compared with guillotine cutters it is safer and easier for long runs, but it is a big, heavy bench machine and not something to store in a drawer. Owners value the clean, repeatable cuts; the main complaints are the size and the cost of replacement blades and cutting mats.

    Questions and answers

    What can the Dahle 552 cut?
    Paper, cardstock, photo paper and thin board up to its rated capacity. Thick board and dense stacks may need more than one pass.
    How is it different from a guillotine cutter?
    The rotary blade is enclosed in a carriage, so it is safer and gives straight, repeatable cuts. A guillotine can cut thicker stacks but exposes a large blade.
    Does it need a cutting mat?
    Yes. The trimmer uses a replaceable cutting mat under the blade, and a worn mat causes ragged cuts.
    How much space does it need?
    It is about 28.8 inches wide, so plan a bench at least that wide plus room for the sheets you feed through.
    Can the blade be replaced?
    Yes. The self-sharpening rotary blade is replaceable when it eventually dulls.
    Is it good for a home craft room?
    Only if you have a dedicated bench. It is built for frequent, large-format cutting and is bulky for occasional home use.
    Where is the Dahle Professional Rotary Trimmer 552 cheapest?
    At Quill, for $313.99, as of our latest check.
