OPERATION
Cutting a Board to Size
Helpful Hint - Matboard is sold in 32” x 40” sizes. Sometimes stores will sell smaller
sizes or cut a sheet down at no charge. Simply ask.
1. Using a measuring device, measure dimension of board to be cut.
2. Slide matboard under guidebar and against squaring bars. Align mark with guide-
bar edge. (Fig. 5 )
Helpful Hint - Mat cutter only cuts up to 23”. Anything larger will have to be cut using
any longer straight edge. If cutting without board, be sure to use a backing sheet to
protect cutting surface.
3. Stand with squaring bars furthest from you, hold knife vertically along edge of
guidebar at 45 degree angle. Place blade tip beyond edge of matboard. Draw
knife across matboard towards yourself. (Fig. 6)

DELUXE MAT CUTTING KIT
Cutting a Beveled Opening
1. Determine opening by measuring artwork and subtracting 1/2 inch from
each dimension.
Helpful Hint - If artwork measures 5” x 7” then opening should
be 4-1/2” x 6-1/2” so mat covers artwork.
2. Determine border by subtracting opening dimension from matboard dimension and
taking half of that.
Helpful Hint - If matboard dimension is 8” x 10” and opening is 4-1/2” x
6-1/2” then subtract 8 - 4-1/2” = 3-1/2” and 10 - 6 1/2” = 3 1/2”.
Half of 3-1/2” is 1-3/4” so border is 1-3/4”.
3. Put a slip sheet under the mat to be cut.
4. Mark borders on back of mat. Slide mat board under guide bar and against squaring
bars. Align edge of matboard to desired dimension. (Fig.7 )
5. Using a pencil, draw lines full length of back of matboard. Repeat this for remaining
three sides.

6. Standing with the squaring bars away from you,
position model 2000 bevel cutter so the silver line
lines up with bottom intersecting pencil line. (Fig. 8)
7. Hold down guidebar with your left hand. Place thumb of
right hand on thumb divot on blade holder. (Fig. 8)
8. Plunge the blade down into the mat. Keep down-
ward pressure, slide cutter against guidebar until
silver line intersects with top pencil line. (Fig. 9)
Helpful Hint - Lower heel of right hand behind cutter
to get better leverage. For best results do not go beyond
intersecting lines.
9. Remove blade from mat by pulling up on blade
holder using your thumb.
10. Rotate the mat to 1/4 turn and repeat steps 6-9 to
complete cutting.

Helpful Hints
1. Bevel blade adjustment - Turning depth adjustment screw in (clockwise) will decrease depth and turning screw out (counter-clockwise) will increase depth.
(Fig. 10) Note that proper blade depth will result in the blade just clearing the matboard and lightly scoring the slip sheet underneath.
2. Always use a slip sheet when bevel cutting. A piece of scrap matboard used under mat being cut provides the highest quality cut.
3. Change blades -When edge of cut looks ragged. Blade sharpness varies so blade life varies.

Trouble Shooting
Bevel Cut has a Rough Edge
1. You may need to change your blade more often. Dull blades drag through the mat instead of cut.
2. Change your Slip Sheet. Cutting over the same area on the Slip Sheet repeatedly can cause rough cuts.
Not Cutting Through the Mat
1. Keep even downward pressure on the Chrome Blade Holder throughout the cut. Letting pressure off will allow the blade to come out of the mat.
2. Check your blade depth. Insufficient blade depth can result in undercut mats.To adjust the blade depth on the Bevel Cutter, turn the screw on the under-
side of the cutting head clockwise to decrease or counter-clockwise to increase the amount of the exposed blade.
Overcuts In Corners
1. Check your blade depth. Extra blade depth can cause the blade tip to cut past the marked lines producing an overcut. Using the recessed screw on the
bottom of the Bevel Cutter, adjust the blade tip to allow for 1/8” exposure. The blade should just score into the surface of the Slip Sheet.
To adjust the blade depth on the Bevel Cutter, turn the screw on the underside of the cutting head clockwise to decrease or counter-clockwise to increase
the amount of the exposed blade.
Hooks or Curves in Cut
1. Check your blade depth. Extra blade depth can cause the blade tip to flare out producing a hook or curve. Using the recessed screw on the bottom of the
Bevel Cutter, adjust the blade tip to allow for 1/8” exposure. The blade should just score into the surface of the Slip Sheet.
To adjust the blade depth on the Bevel Cutter, turn the screw on the underside of the cutting head clockwise to decrease or counter-clockwise to increase
the amount of the exposed blade.
2. Change the blade. A dull blade will flare out causing a hook or curve.
A NOTE ON BLADES: No two blades will have the same lifespan. Always start with a new blade before each project to ensure best results.
