The Dahle Professional Series Model 842 is a 16 ⁷/₈" Paper Stack Cutter that cuts a stack of paper as thick as about 200 sheets of 20 pound paper in just one slice. The Model 846 cuts through 16 ⁷/₈” wide and up to 500 sheets of paper at a time, and the Model 848 cuts though up 18 ⁵/₈" wide and up to 700 sheets at a time.

For all models, a safety shield is featured on both sides of the cutting blade and will not allow the blade to move while they are in the up position, providing the optimum safety for your operator. A clean, burr free cut through such a large stack of paper is hard to find... Dahle Professional cutters make it possible through a ground solingen steel blade and clamping system that places firm and even pressure across the entire cutting surface. The model 846 also features a spindle driven self-locking backstop for extreme accuracy and repetitive cutting.
