I tried to economize and bought one of the little Dexter hand cutters before I realized that was a bad time to be cheap, and I will GLEEFULLY send said Dexter POS, for the cost of postage, to anyone I will never meet. (I wouldn't wish it on a friend, but I'm too much of a Scot to throw it away and the world is full of strange people, so SOMEONE probably likes the things....) I'm currently using a 301S, the mini model, which came with straight and bevel cutters, eats anything up to 32", and has always done exactly what I wanted. Simple, easy to use, and difficult to screw up. Perfect for me. The mat cutter at the framing shop / sales gallery I use works with a couple of commercial C&H rigs which are also very nice but quite larger than I want.
