NT Professional Mat Cutter,Red, 45 Degree Bevel Mat Board Cutter, 1 Cutter (MAT-45P), Aluminum Die-Cast Grip

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.

This cutter is sturdy and reasonably easy to control, far better than the cheaper, plastic ones. Well worth the extra money

There's a knack to using this cutter, so it's worth doing some test runs on spare mount board before you use it for the real pieces. It took me a few cuts to get the method and pressure to use on the cutter right. So, be patient and steadily learn how to use it properly. The blade is sharp and precise. A great tool!

Looking to replace an old Mat cutter, I went for this as it's reviews were good. I don't particularly like its operation, and find it difficult to get the optimum 'cut' as it's a bit 'clumsy' in the hand? Maybe just me.

I used a plastic bodied cutter for years to cut mounts for my paintings but I was never really happy with it. After a recent clear out, I mislaid it so after a search on Amazon for a replacement and reading the reviews, I opted for the NT cutter. It was reasonably priced, looked very robust and had good reviews, so I went ahead and placed the order. It's much larger than my old one and takes a bit of practice to get used to it but it works very well. Cuts cleanly right into the corners and the large domed top means you can apply a bit of pressure. One thing I would suggest is make sure you have a good straight edge to guide the cutter along, preferably metal.

This product was very disappointing for the price!!! The instructions are in Chinese. It is not easy to get a good cut by just using a ruler!!

...and I don't have it.Can't get it to cut straight. I think it needs very careful setting of the cutting depth, so you're cutting the mount card and not cutting too deeply into the mat beneath.It's hard to hold the mount, the straight edge and the tool so that nothing slips.

At first I wasn't too sure as the product is substantially cheaper than the other professional cutters, but this is certainly a great little cutter, good, clean, sharp edges across a variety of thick card and glides nicely with a metal ruler.Downsides - the measuring isn't that accurate so you'll need to test on a piece of scrap card beforehand to get the correct depthWould I recommend it? Absolutely!
