I'm looking to purchase a mat cutter very soon, as I have projects piling up, and its getting kind of out of control. I'll probably buy one in the next couple of days. My question is- knowing nothing about mat cutters, what should I really be looking for, option-wise? I don't want to spend a ton of money- maybe in the sub-$150 range - but I don't want to get something that I'll be regretting next year. Does anyone have any suggestions/favorites?

I assume you are talking picture framing?

If so, I can check with my sister who closed her frame shop about a year ago?

Don't know if she has it or not???

What part of Texas is Massachusetts in?

yes, as in picture framing... I have all the tools to build the frames, but no way to cut the mats. In the past year, I've managed to acquire a pretty good workworking shop (which included acquiring a house with enough room to put a shop in the basement), and would like to be able to frame my own stuff- instead of just building furniture & cabinets. framing would be a much welcomed, smaller scale diversion from rebuilding the kitchen

lets see... Massachusetts is about 2,200 miles NE of San Antonio... so its not in Texas at all. (i USED to live in S.A., but moved, and promised to stop by Wild Texas on occassion after I left).

(and if anyone cares, we are having a heck of a time getting above 60 degrees farenheit up here these days... it figures that the year I leave texas and come home, we have one of the top 5 years of snowfall ever, and summer's not looking much better...)
