Daler - Rowney 804424420 Logan Team Systeem

This is perfect for my purposes. I can mat all the artwork I have collected with ease.I agree with others’ recommendations to get clamps to hold the straight edge in place. This helps. I wish I had been able to buy the complete kit, but this is a great start.

I took some artwork to be framed at Michaels Craft Store and they gave me an estimate that made me cringe. So, I decided to try framing the pieces myself. I bought some cheaper frames and since the size of my pieces were a bit odd, I would need to custom cut the mats. After doing some research, I found this mat cutter and decided to go for it. The process was very easy to learn and the most difficult part was keeping the mat and cutting board straight as I moved the blade across the mat. Once I got the hang of using the mat cutter, my artwork came out looking great and the mats were cut very straight and professional looking. I am very happy with this purchase, as I was able to frame the three pieces for about $50 each with frames and mats, compared to about $100 each if I went with Michaels Craft Store.

Have managed to do several excellent mounts but it does require strength to use and best for right handlers.There is nothing in the instructions to tell you to adjust the cutting depth - with the screw marked in photo.After adjusting the cutting depth so it only cuts through the mount and a piece of normal paper (80gsm) it is much easier to use.It has also been possible to recut mounts as long as you put some scrap in the old cutout to support the cutter.All in all well worth having despite the minor problems.

La graduation de la règle est en mesures impériales ce qui rend son usage peu pratique. En France, nous utilisons le système métrique que je sache ! Du coup il faut jongler avec deux règles.

Written instructions are not very clear but if you search youtube you will find a great instruction video showing everything step by step. No learning curve when you watch the video. This does the same job as $3000 bevel cutting tools, works wonders for DIY framing. I love it!
