Works great with a little elbow grease!
Pulling a cut though a matte board takes some muscle and a consistent, evenly paced pull across the board. I also have a large metal straight edge that I c-clamped to my work table so that it doesn't slip accidentally when cutting.
Works great - if you can do that all in one fluid stroke!
It's a great product, and honestly it does what what it's description says - I only wish there we're a little more detail on the effort and precision with which you are instructed to use this with. Instructions included are a little vague but the tool is easy enough to figure out. Hardest part is the corners of your matte window. I'd recommend stopping just a hair shy of the corner and finishing it with a sharp exacto or other fine knife. I overcut and had a couple of warpy corners on some test cuts. Lastly - it eats up razor blades pretty quick. I went through 3 of them them cutting 20x24 mattes. None of these are complaints though! Just observations and tips. Great product all in all!

Logan Graphics 4000 Mat Cutter
I've only cut 2 mats with this product but I've been hand cutting my own mats for years. I had trouble getting a clean cut through the mat board and had to run the cut twice to make sure. I admit I have to use it some more. My other (hand) mat cutter allows me to set the angle of the cut and that could be a negative. I do like how the blade retracts. I also like the fact that you cut the mat from the reverse side so as not to leave any marks on "good" side.
