Ideal for professionals and creatives, it delivers clean, burr-free cuts on a variety of materials up to A3 size, ensuring flawless results with every use. ## Description From the manufacturer Precision Trimming for arts and crafts Video tutorials and creative platforms have lent homemade and hand-crafted items a new popularity. And the technique is as important as the results when it comes to handicrafts. You want to enjoy yourself from start to finish when putting so much time and love into paper crafts. Our rotary trimmers are reliable and precise tools for inventive individuals with unlimited creativity. Product Features Self-Sharpening System No need to worry about replacing dull or worn blades, the self-sharpening system sharpens as you cut to maintain a perfectly honed blade. The precision graduated edge will remove even the tiniest sliver of paper and produce a clean, burr-free cut. Automatic Clamp The trimmer’s integrated, automatic clamping system provides hands-free, even pressure as you cut to prevent your work from shifting. Metal Base with Guides The sturdy base with never warp or crack. For measuring, the base features carefully screened rulers and guides to help align your cuts. For added convenience, the grid includes standard-sized guides for trimming photos and documents. Dahle’s 508 combines all the precision you need with a lightweight, portable design Important information for changing the cutter head When changing the cutter head, please make sure to position the cutter head in front of the bottom knife or the cutting edge. Positioning between the table and the cutting edge impairs the cutting performance and can damage the knife. Dahle Creativ-Set 981 As an add-on to the paper cutter the Dahle 981 Creativ-Set is available for three different craft cuts: perforation, folding and deckle-edge 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. Review: Very displeased with this - First time I have used one of these . I recently took my photography to the next level and purchased A printer and now I needed a trimmer as scissors just cut it if you will pardon the pun This certainly trims easily . Straight out of the box I found it very stiff to operate but it works fine after some effort . Worth the extra few Pennies in my opinion seems strong enough and very accurate as one would expect From German engineering After the third use with just ordinary Af paper the stiffness got even worse and the paper edges snagged and rather than cutting cleanly the blade left jagged edges so after numerous attempts I have set about returning this product . It isn’t user error I suspect it’s the blade but it’s just so hard to slide it at times I have given up and ordered another brand . As I have this ostentatiously for photos I would not trust this to cut cleanly ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 14 years.

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.

As I have this ostentatiously for photos I would not trust this to cut cleanly ### ⭐ Did not cut a single sheet of paper and looked as though it was a 2nd hand/used item *by P***T on 25 August 2023* This trimmer did not work at all and looks as though it had been previously used. The plastic guide/guard was missing and there was adhesive remnants on the front panel from an old sticker that has been removed in the past - but worst of all, I could not make a single full cut, it would barely score the paper, let alone cut it - please see the photos for illustration. This was a very disappointing purchase and the only good thing I can say is that Amazon processed my full refund immediately. ## 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.tn/products/197260637-dahle-508-din-a3-self-sharpening-paper-trimmer-guillotine-safety](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/197260637-dahle-508-din-a3-self-sharpening-paper-trimmer-guillotine-safety) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-28*
