ABSTRACT:
A system for the precision cutting of picture mats includes a flat base on which an elongate mounting arm is provided. A mat guide bar is adjustably and detachably mounted to the mat guide bar and includes a first mat engaging edge surface and opposed edge surface. A mat cutter device is also mounted on the base for cutting a mat along a line parallel to the first edge surface. A plurality of bar stops are provided which include opposed flat sides and a bar stop mounting mechanism for detachably mounting each bar stop to the mounting arm. The bar stops are mounted so that opposed flat sides are positioned parallel to the edge surfaces of the mat guide bar for selective abutment therewith. Two mat stops are also provided which include a second mat engaging surface. These mat stops are detachably mounted to the guide bar. The second engaging surface is adjustable with respect to the first edge surface of the mat guide bar. Preferably, the bar stops are adapted to receive an elongate cross member therein. A depending stop is attached at the distal end of the cross member which is adjustably positioned into and out of abutting engagement with the mat guide bar. The cross member is also preferably adjustably mounted to the bar stop. Each second mat engaging edge surface of the associated mat stop is adjustable by the addition of one or more of a plurality of blocks.
