Full details

With a massive 1100mm cutting length and the ability to slice through 35 sheets of 80gsm paper at once, it excels at managing large blueprints, posters, and oversized art boards. While its performance is industry-leading, users should note that the unit’s substantial physical footprint requires a dedicated permanent workspace.

FAQs
What is the maximum paper size this guillotine can handle?
The Dahle 585 features a 1100mm cutting length, which is sufficient for A1 size paper and larger.
Can I sharpen the blades myself?
The blades are high-quality Solingen steel and are re-sharpenable, but it is recommended to have them serviced by a professional to ensure safety and precision.
Does it come with a stand?
Yes, the unit includes a supporting table frame that provides a stable working height of 740mm.
Is the safety guard removable?
The Plexiglas guard is an integrated safety feature designed to protect the user; it should remain in place during all cutting operations.
How many sheets can it cut at once?
The guillotine is designed to cut up to 35 sheets of 80gsm paper in a single pass.
What materials can be cut besides paper?
It is designed primarily for paper and light cardstock; avoid cutting metallic, plastic, or overly thick materials that may damage the blade.
Troubleshooting
The blade is not cutting cleanly through the bottom sheets.
Ensure the paper stack is not exceeding the 35-sheet limit and verify that the foot-operated clamp is fully depressed to prevent movement.
The cut is slightly crooked.
Verify that the adjustable back-stop is locked securely into the guide slots and that the paper is flush against the back-stop before clamping.
Blade feels dull or resistance is high.
Check for resin or adhesive buildup on the blade edge. If the blade is dull, contact a professional to have the Solingen steel blade professionally re-sharpened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup involves attaching the included supporting table frame to the base unit to ensure a stable, level working height. Because the machine has a footprint of 1165 x 1135 mm, ensure you have sufficient clearance on all sides for maneuvering large paper sheets. For maintenance, keep the bed free of paper dust and debris. Periodically check the blade sharpness; the blades are designed to be re-sharpened by qualified professionals to maintain factory-level precision over years of operation. Always engage the safety Plexiglas guard before attempting a cut.
