Visit the store Review: Fantastic A3 paper cutter. - This was my first time trying an A3 Dahle rotary cutter, and although the shopping experience on desertcart wasn't great on this occasion, this model of cutter which I purchased from a different website is still fantastic, so I felt I should provide a review of it. I needed an A3 cutter for work and after reading some reviews, Dahle is a name that came up often. I decided to go for this 508 model as the reviews seemed quite positive overall. When the order arrived from desertcart, it was the wrong model. desertcart were quick to put it right and offer a replacement but I needed it ASAP and couldn’t wait a few more days, so I ordered it from another website. The cutter, however, is perfect! It is a beautifully designed paper cutter for up to A3 size. The item is of excellent quality, well-made, and has a good weight to it. It feels strong and robust. The rubber foot in the middle provides great grip and stability. It's easy to take apart and maintain, and replacement blades are also available and reasonably priced. The cutter is very sharp and cuts perfect straight edges. Trimming can go right down to less than a millimetre. Before buying it, I read some reviews mentioning that the blade can get misaligned and cuts poorly with jagged edges, but I’ve not experienced that at all. I’ve had this cutter since February and used it daily, and it's still as sharp as the day I first used it. The blades glide smoothly and cut cleanly. The only thing I dislike about it is the sound it makes when it cuts; it goes through me, almost like a chalk on a chalkboard sound as the paper is cut. It still bothers me to this day, but it's a small price to pay for such a reliable cutter. I mostly cut thicker A3 sublimation paper, but I have also used it to trim photos down to size, and it works equally well. It can also cleanly cut multiple sheets at once without affecting the performance and accuracy of the blade. I think the most I've tried is six. It's quite expensive for an A3 rotary cutter, but the quality really does speak for itself. I can't recommend this enough; it's a great quality paper cutter. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope that you found it helpful and that it assists you in your decision-making. I try to be as honest and fair as possible, as those have always been the reviews that helped me the most.

A member of the Customer Relations Team would be happy to help you place your order by phone at 800-995-1379. **Q: New vs Old. Is the new version better?** A: No. I’ve had a couple of the old design and love them. Smooth, and after yrs, seem to never dull— self sharpening also. The new design SQUEAKS horribly. After realizing that, I ordered another that was listed as the old design. I received a new model again. :( Also squeaks. Now I have no idea what to order. I’ve relied on Dahle for abt a decade. Hated Fiskars and the guillotine type (neither have had accurate 90° angles. What do I order now?? Bring back the old design, Dahle. Please? **Q: Do you have free returns?** A: I would say yes, for the most part, as long as it's within 30 days.

The down side is that the blade sometimes jumps through track - usually caused by cutting too much at once or cutting something that's too thick for the guillotine to handle. It's easily fixed, with instructions on how to do so in the box, but a bit of a pain. If you continue to cut without fixing, it won't cut very well at all - i think this is the reason for some of the poor reviews for cutting quality. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dahle 508 Personal Rotary Trimmer, 18" Cut Length, 5 Sheet Capacity, Self-Sharpening, Automatic Clamp, German Engineered Paper Cutter - QIQQIKIN Paper Corner Rounder 3 in 1 （R4mm+R7mm+R10mm）， Punches for Crafts， Cutter ，Envelope Punch Board ，Hole Puncher， Laminate, DIY Projects, Photo Cutter,Card Making Scrapbooking and Journaling --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/197260637-508-din-a3-self-sharpening-paper-trimmer-guillotine-with-safety](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/197260637-508-din-a3-self-sharpening-paper-trimmer-guillotine-with-safety) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
