[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 272613, member: 9240"] This frame game is making me crazy, and I'm enough a DIY-er that I will not pay someone to custom cut mats for me when I suspect I can justify the cost of one just with the framing jobs I want to do for the house. For those of you who do your own framing, what's a good mat cutter to get? I've heard good things about the Logan cutters, but in reading the reviews it seems like they may have gone down a notch in quality of late. I'm considering this one...

Anything bigger gets printed elsewhere, and usually by my brother who has a big old cutter that can handle bigger mats if I need them (he's just an hour away so borrowing isn't easy). Is that good enough, or is it worth it to invest 70% more in something like this?
