Choosing the right guillotine paper cutter can
be a bit challenging. After all, you need to make sure it has a decent
cutting capacity, good safety features, and durable construction.
Luckily, German manufacturer Dahle makes a number of these devices,
including their 564 Premium Guillotine Paper Cutter. This is a pretty
impressive trimmer that may be right for your needs. Here are its
strengths, as well as its weaknesses.    
Strengths:  The Dahle 564 has an French Fry Cutter factory
excellent cutting capacity. It can up a maximum of 40 sheets at a time
so you'll be able to get your paper cut as quickly as possible. Then you
 can do other things.This trimmer can handle paper that's up
 to 14.5 inches long. You'll be able to easily trim legal-sized sheets
that are 8.5” x 14”. You can also process other paper including sheets
that are letter-sized (8.5” x 11”). Plus, it's possible to use this
cutter to trim thick materials including mat board and cardstock.Your materials will stay in place when you cut them because the
Dahle 564 has a ratcheting paper clamp. The clamp will keep them
straight so they'll be trimmed properly and won't fan.It's
very easy to get an accurate cut with this device because it's equipped
with a laser that will show you exactly where you should lower the
blade. This feature takes much of the guesswork out of the cutting
process so you'll be able to get the job done right every time.The
 Dahle 564 has a self-sharpening blade that's made out of Solingen
steel. This is a very durable metal that is sharp enough to simply slice
 through your documents. The blade is covered by a rotary guard that
helps making the cutting process as safe as possible. Also, the blade
won't fly up or fall down suddenly.This device's base is
made out of metal and has both standard and metric measurements printed
on it. The base is durable and it won't break or become warped no matter
 how much you cut. Plus, there's an adjustable backstop attached to the
base that makes cutting easy.  Weaknesses:
 Since the Dahle 564 has a 14.5-inch cutting length, you
won't be able to trim really large documents with it. This may or may
not be a problem depending on how large your materials are.While
 this cutter has a rotary guard covering the blade, you'll still need to
 use a fair amount of caution when using it.  Overall, the
Dahle 564 is a terrific guillotine paper cutter and it would be ideal
for various work environments (offices, schools, print shops, etc.). It
has some great features, such as the laser, the ratcheting paper clamp,
and the rotary guard covering the blade. (The blade is terrific too,
thanks to it being made out of Solingen steel.) While it can't cut very
large materials, it nonetheless would be an excellent choice for your
cutting needs. So check out the Dahle 564 today and start cutting.
