It doesn't have to be expensive, it just has to look nice.

I bought this because I wanted to make a set of 12x18 reprints in 16x20 frames for my media room. I now have 36 finished prints. Trust me it would be EXPENSIVE to just buy the rugs I wanted. So I spent the money on it and another $65 on 16x20 mats and gave it a try. I can't say it was fast because I wanted it to be accurate. It can be said that it was accurate, easy to install and set up, and only needed one pitch to get professional results. It was damn impressive. I've wanted a carpet cutter…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember

The cutter uses a length of rubber grommet that fits into a groove machined on the underside of the long push rod to prevent denting of the surface of mats loaded under the rod…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Easy to use and gives professional results

I have cut several mats with this tool and I find it accurate, easy to use and inexpensive. The beveled cuts are really accurate and look professional with careful use. The bevel cutter itself runs along the unit and slides down the bevels without much effort and there is a very well calibrated parallel ruler to hold the mat in place for the bevel cut. (One caveat: you should probably stick with double-layer mats, although it's possible to achieve a layered look that's wider on the outside of…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
