Cutting guide No matter what comes under the blade, you always cut a fine figure with Dahle cutting machines.
My expectation: A precision cut. Through any material. My Dahle. When it comes to cutting, Dahle cutting machines set true standards. The typical Dahle blue of these machines has become synonymous with safety, convenience, absolute precision, firstclass quality and versatility. Because our blue all-rounders can cut much more than just paper. This cutting guide tells you more about the wide range of applications Dahle cutting machines are suitable for and the different materials they glide through with effortless ease for precision results. 2
The diversity of cutting Reassuring safety Safety and quality from a cutting machine are directly related. Because we realise this, our cutting machines competently satisfy the demands placed on safety at the workplace by the testing and certifying bodies. Excellence guaranteed Dahle cutting machines means quality in material, workmanship and functionality.
