I have used a few NT products over the year so when I need to buy a bevel cutter to custom-cut the mat for my frames, I pick NT brand first. The blade is sharp and the instruction on the package is easy to comprehend. I cut the mat board on large cutting mat and a long metal ruler I already had. They came out nicely. The trick is to overlap the cut on each corner by 1/16 - 1/8 inch or so (you won't see the overlap cut mark anyway)

Make sure you practice on some scrap first since the instructions aren’t all that great and doing the corners is a bit odd. Use your test cuts to figure out the distance between the straight edge and the blade. At the corners go well past the intersection - even though it may seem too far it’s not. And use a good cutting mat and have a way to clamp a straight edge in place since the cutter’s springs are fairly stiff and you have to push down quite hard and that can move your straight edge and that’s a big problem when it occurs.

I bought the mats and this cutter for several Christmas presents that I needed to frame, this cutter worked perfectly, and my pictures look great!

NT mat cutter worked well for my purposes. Once I figured out the technique to get the right bevel — angle of the cut — I was happy with the end result. Lots of trial and error. Instructions need to be much clearer. I improvised to achieve the results I wanted.

Wow. Wow wow wow! I've tried multiple mat cutters from both Logan and Fletcher and never had an easy time of it. A "good" mat worth using was always a compromise and almost never the first effort.I did one practice cut with the NT cutter. I then cut two mats, first try, no flaws, no compromises. Draw the window the back of the board; mark a cutting guide 3/8" outside your window; set up your straight edge; and go. The NT blade lets you cut both directions; set the depth gauge, and you know when your cut is complete.Cutting mats has always been a trial for me. Now, I'm actually looking forward to my next framing projects.

I found this cutter to be awkward to use and did not cut the corners well. It is big, clunky and as such makes it harder to judge where cutting began and ended. It was also easy to get off the line even with I guide edge. Of course you can factor in operator error, but I would not recommend this product.

I didn't want to pay for framing a print - it seemed silly because I had the frame and just needed the right size matte (the print was an odd size so precuts didn't work). I bought a big matte and practiced on a piece about 8x8 until I felt confident to do the deed. It worked great and my picture is framed & looks wonderful! An artist friend gave it his approval when he visited recently. As an art lover who likes to pick up frames at thrift stores, this cutter will get plenty of use!

Yikes. This thing was a disaster and no mistake.I did read the reviews before buying so I was ready to test it out before making final cuts, but goodNESS! I had to test an entire piece of museum mat board before I finally figured this thing out.Here are a few things worth mentioning:1. I never was able to find the sweet spot where the blade could cut through the museum board, which is dense, but not cut too far into my cutting mat. The blade either didn't cut all the way through, or it sliced right through and far into my cutting mat. The issue for me was, I had to press down so hard for it to cut through the mat that my wrists were sore from the effort.2. The blade would line up right on the line I wanted to cut at the beginning, but as soon as I pressed down hard enough for it to cut through the museum board, it veered off by about 1/8", sometimes more. I had to learn to angle in my straight edge to accommodate this. Angle it too much, though, and the blade would go too far in the opposite direction.3. Okay, the edge of my cutter, I found, was 3/8 of an inch away from the blade. I needed to get a clean, accurate cut, and the dashes on the side of this thing, intended to help you line up your blade to the line you want to cut, are useless. I'd measure out my cutting line, and then I'd measure out the line I used for the straight edge you need to press your cutter against. Once this was done, I'd then angle my straight edge about 1/8" to accommodate the veering issue.4. At first I used a ruler as a straight edge, which slipped all over the place. I got out my skid-proof ruler but this too slid away because I had to use a lot of pressure and I'd end up pressing the blade too hard into the straight edge. Lucky for me, I have a big piece of tempered, 1/4" thick and 24 x 36" glass that I set against the cutter and I STILL got some slippage, but not as much.I finally was able to cut my museum board and make an acceptable, passable mat for my print, but my gosh it took a lot of fiddling and in the end I wish I'd just bought the $150 one at the art store and saved myself the wrist aches and the wasted piece of museum board.

Au début un peu difficile car mode d emplois limité mais il y a les images. Après 2 pas partout c est partout . Pour le prix je le préfère de loin à u maper cuter qui est prix x2 à suivre dans le temps et y a t il des lames de rechange? Attachez bien vos feuilles pour ne pas qu elles glissent.

Takes a little practice but works well & gives a good finish.I made a mess of two boards at first, but 3rd was a charm.

Es ist nicht so einfach einen Passpartout schön zu schneiden. Trotz diesem Tool.
