[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 13132, member: 654"] I really can't say how many mats a blade will cut. I guess I'm going to find out. The only thing the demo people said about depth was that the blade has to be just deep enough to make a clean cut. Any more than that and it over cuts the corner, and any less and it won't make a clean cut and will under cut the corner. It was indicated that it was better to make an over cut than under. A slight over cut can be burnished out, but an under cut you have to try and do a recut which, according to the demo person, seldom works or you wind up with tears at the corner. Don't forget a blade has two cutting ends. So you should get at least four 8x10 window cut mats per blade. Developing groves in the mat backer board after several cuts can be a problem. They indicated that grooving could be a problem with any backer board and did not mention self healing. The blade can start tracking in an old cut line and go off track.
