Can anybody out there recommend a good mat cutter at a reasonable
price? I've got a logan hand cutter, and it's great for small jobs,
but guide rails that keep things at precise 90 degree angles are
really needed. I haven't seen anything cheaper than $300 at art
supply stores, and I'd like to keep to half that price.
I've seet Rotatrim listed in a couple of the photo rags. Is that for
mats, or just a print trimmer? Their address to write for info would
be most appreciated. Please mail info, if I get anything interesting,
I'll summarize.
Thanks - as they say - in advance

I think the Rotatrim is just a print/paper trimmer, but... I have a mat cutter called an EZ/MAT by Alto, which is a cutter (similar in function to a Logan, if not in design) and a set of guide rails that are adjustable in 1/8" increments (from 2" up to about 6"). The cutter is not attached to the rails, so a little care is needed. I have been using it for almost a year, with results as good as (sometimes better than) I used to pay a frame shop for. It comes with good instructions, and only took me about ten or twenty minutes to learn to use. The best news is that it is (or was) less than $60. I got it from Light Impressions, but I have seen it advertised in other places (sorry, I don't remember where). It works very well. Steve Stepoway smu!stepoway
