Dahle 564 Premium 14.5 Inch Guillotine Cutter With Laser Review
With a plethora of safety features and a high volume capacity, the Dahle 564 is clearly designed for multiple users in a busy office, shop, or school setting. It the following review, we will take an “up close and personal” look at the various features of the Dahle 564, and leave you with a list of what we consider to be some of this trimmer’s strengths and weaknesses.
Strengths:
- One of the most remarkable things about the 564 is its state of the art safety features. First of all there is the very innovative safety guard that wraps around cutting blade when not in use and rotates out of the way when cutting. This way, any fingers and hands are protected from the blade at all times during the cutting process. Also, there is a system of springs that keeps the blade from either falling down or flying up unexpectedly by holding it firmly in place at all times when not in use.
-
The cut accuracy of this machine has to be considered second to none. The 564 features a laser system that shows you the entire length of the cut line, letting you know precisely where the cut will be. To further enhance accuracy, the 564 includes a locking paper clamp that applies an even pressure along whole of the surface that is to be cut, holding your stack of papers firmly in place and preventing the dreaded “fanning effect.” There is alos an adjustable backstop to keep the stack from slipping, and handy sizing grids that help you make sure you are cutting your paper in the right place.
-
It is well known in the industry that if Dahle makes it, you know it features the best of German parts and engineering, and the 564 is no exception. The cutting blade of the 564 is made from the very best Soligen steel from Germany. Instead of becoming duller with use, this blade sharpens itself with each and every cut and is clearly designed to last you for a good many years without ever needing to be replaced.
-
As a high capacity, commercial grade trimmer that is capable of cutting 40 sheets at a time, the 564 is intended for high volume work environments such as copy and print shops and school and professional art departments. The 564 is a versatile cutter that can also handle mat board with ease.
Weaknesses:
-
The 14.5 inch cutting length of the 564 is plenty long enough for the vast majority of the document production projects out there. However, if you are going to be doing jobs that utilize a bigger sheet size than that on a regular basis, you might want to take a look at a larger format machine, such as the Dahle 580 which is 32″ or the 585 which is 43″ in length. Both offer many of the same great features as the 564.
-
Though we see no reason for worry, some manufacturers are moving toward LED guides instead of lasers to address safety concerns.
