Anyone cut one lately?

Same here. And an Olfa cutting mat. Yes, changing blades is a must. I usually use the metal frames and get pre-cut glass.

Years ago I was given two cartons of mat board -- a carton of black and one of an off-white). But once that supply runs out I'm gonna start using the pre-cut mats.
 
I'm interested in this Logan cutter 301-S. I have received the odd Mat which was slightly overcut at the corners by a "professional" framer. Would this cutter prevent this? I'm a total novice and would prefer something idiot proof.

Overcut corners can be avoided with any cutter if one is careful.
 
I use the Dexter cutter and actually enjoy the process of matting and framing. It is rewarding to see the photograph reach its presentation. No problems using the Dexter. I order pre-cut frames and pre-cut glass. I have only sliced my finger once on the glass and it is nasty when it happens.

Regards,
Bill
 
I am currently sporting a bandage on my knuckle that replaces some skin lost in a tragic glass cleaning accident. A real bleeder. I had to stop cutting mats for the day for fear of making my prints look like crime scenes.
