ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for cutting properly sized artwork mats utilizes a pivoting cutter guide that has only one locking point and scale rule. Such apparatus quickly speeds up the process and increases the ease at which artwork mats are prepared. Included with the apparatus is a special conversion ruler that eliminates any need to perform mathematical calculations during the marking and cutting process. A flat surface provided underneath the base of the apparatus acts as a stop for large sheets of mat material when the apparatus is placed atop the sheets. This ensures that straight square cuts are made when cutting up the initial mat stock. A special cutter head allows both bevel and straight cuts to be made on the same guide and cutter head.
