What is the absolute minimum width aisle I can trim? The specs don't actually give the overall width of the machine & I don't trust Amazon's dim's.

It actually does cut a 22 inch path. And it does it real well on weeds and tall grass.

You can shorten the string as much as you want, but you would have to get the wheels through your aisle. I am not close to my machine to measure, but is there information about the wheel width in the specs somewhere? That is the answer to your question, it seems to me. Good luck. elw

The minimum width is 21" and that is from the guard on the front. The wheels are actually 17 3/4" wide. So I don't know if the guard can be altered or removed but I am sure no manufacturer would recommend that. My husband loves this machine.

The center spindle is probably 4.5 - 5" across, if you cut the string short to say, extending two inches on a side, it would presumably cut a swath appx 8.5" wide. It would be complicated if this were a small space that had high edgings, like a high concrete curb or other, due to the wheels. Thing is, it's not a real "golf course," type trimmer. The finish won't be smooth like a nice mower. This is more for rough stuff.

Dear Kathleen O.: I always thought the 6.7 inch measurement was erroneous. I suppose it depends on how you apply the terms height, width and depth. The shelves on my cart (there are 3 of them) are 31.5 inches by 18.5 inches; this measurement is from the left side of the cart to the extreme right side (31.5") and front to rear (18.5"). The only place I have ever found the 6.7 inch measurement is from the floor to the bottom of the lower shelf and only then if you installed the bottom shelf in its lowest position. Personally, I would recommend that you disregard the advertised 6.7 inch measurement as this measurement is of no value to you unless you plan on pushing this cart around outside on rough terrain with stumps and obstacles sticking up. I have found my utility cart to be of high strength (I have actually used it for a seat during some recent painting and it held up very well) being used truly as a utility cart in my home. Also makes and excellent work table. Hope this helps you. If you have any more questions, please feel free to email me back at dbwynkoop@gmail.com

Distance from bottom of middle shelf to bottom of drawer is 9", but the opening to place stuff on shelf is only 7". Distance from bottom shelf to middle shelf is 10.5", but the opening is 9" due to shelf sides. As a result, I modified mine and cut out the front sides of the shelf leaving only 1/2" of the sides for strength. I then glued rubber coping trim over the area where I cut for a finished look and feel. Again, I would avoid this cart. It is too short, too light, too light duty and too weak to be useful in most environments. There are better options out there.

Width of 6 inches can be cut, but no wider. And I wouldn't go thicker than 2 inches, too much effort. Time for power tools.

Hi Eunice! Thank you for your inquiry! Please see a listing for a smaller version: http://www.amazon.com/Safco-Products-Vertical-Desk-Sorter/dp/B000J0AZ0G/ref=sr_1_1?m=A2G88111572J8M&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1384879039&sr=1-1&keywords=073555941906 Aiste BisonOffice

Quick tip about Amazon details sections - the dimensions they provide are usually *package* dimensions, not *item* dimensions. Not super clear, but that seems to be the deal.

What is the shortest width this roller can be set at for storage? I need to make sure it will fit in my building's storage room when it's not in use.

The small drawers are 16 1/2" deep x 13" wide x 4 1/2" high, so you can probably only fit 2 reams of paper in each. Also, the bottom drawer doesn't slide very well when it's full. I filled it with hanging folders with product literature and it keeps coming off the track. Cart is designed for lightweight items only.

Ignore the product description, why they are that way I have no clue. I just went to Rola's website and looked up the Part # (59504). The dims mentioned in the title are the same as the Rola's website although on Rola's website it says "inside dimensions". The product description maybe outside dimensions and for the length they may have only measured outside to outside of the top only and not the bottom.

Hi,I had the same issue. I trimmed off the overhang on both sides which made it a total width of 45 3/4 inches.That is a narrow as the top board can be trimmed...

Generally, 1/2" on each side ... so make your drawer dimension 1" less than the opening.

Steve, different sizes for different applications - suggest to try R3 good for most cabinetry, good luck, Peter

In the face of the opinions offered by everybody else, I hate to introduce vulgar FACTS. But, at the risk of seeming obsessed with precision, I used an actual yardstick, and measured the darn thing. The minimum convenient width is 11". The maximum is 13". More to the point, the unit is garbage, and not worth the $20 it cost. But that wasn't the question put to me.

The width is roughly 4-5 inches depending on your skill. The thickness is variable based on the knob on the side of the machine. The thinnest setting is very tricky and is almost too thin to do anything with. I usually only go to a 2 to make sheets thin enough for tortellini and ravioli. Beware if it is too thin it gets jammed in the cutting attchments easier.

Without digging for mine, I really don't know. Those dimensions don't seem right. What do other sites say when you search for the same item?

I do not have my paper to measure, but I am very sure that the measurements of the paper description ARE the dimensions. So if your machine calls for 3 1/8ths then this is it. But pay attention to the LENGTH. When I bought this on Amazon, I had to unroll quite a bit of this and throw it away because my machine didn't close. The tape I use now (from Sams club) is 3 1/8 x 190 OR 3 1/8 by 79.3mmwide (I have a picture of the box on my phone lol). So if you only need 50mm wide - this one is certainly too big.
