How? What? & Why?

How should I clean my machine?
To clean a Fletcher mat cutter, simply wipe down using a lint-free cloth moistened with lighter fluid. NEVER lubricate this mat cutter as oils will damage your matboard.

How often should I change my mat blade?
Frequently! A sharp blade guarantees crisp, clean cuts. Inserting a new blade every few mats is recommended and when you consider the cost of a blade compared to that of a matboard, it's worth the extra cost of a new blade.

What blade should I use?
This is really a matter of preference. The .012 is typically preferred as an all-around, general purpose blade. Some framers like the .015 and .016 for denser mats.

Why do I need a slipsheet?
All mat cutters perform best with a minimal support under the mat. It produces a cleaner, crisper edge to the bevel cut.

Overview
blade magazine

The exclusive removable blade magazine makes changing blades quick and easy. An adjustment screw allows you to adjust the blade depth to matboard thickness. Guide markings let you start/stop right on your mark to help eliminate overcuts and undercuts. Both the bevel and straight cutting utilize a magazine.

pin locater

A pin locator system makes it easy to accurately repeat mat borders and liner mats of common widths from 1 1/2" to 5" , in half inch increments. The mat gauge lets you cut liner mats automatically by extending mat widths to 1/8" , 3/16", 1/4" and 5/16".

cutting head

Our ergonomically designed cutting head and large finger pad provide maximum comfort and control. The patented three roller bearing system allows the head to glide effortlessly along the clamp bar. Includes both bevel cutting and straight cutting features.

Optional Features
base plate

Base Plate Option:

Doubles the width of the base work space. Includes longer Mat Guide Slide and Upper Measuring Stop with extended scales. Will permit setting the mat borders on larger multiple opening mats.

measuring stop option

Measuring Stop Option:

Will save time by eliminating the need to draw border lines. Overcuts and undercuts are controlled mat after mat. Repetitive cutting of the same mat dimensions is speeded up by the use of measuring stops.

angle mat guide

Provides "fool proof" cutting of multi-angle mat openings from 15° to 75°. Permits cutting elaborate and fancy mats with precise liner mat borders.

clamp lifter option

Clamp Lifter Option:

The clamp lifters hold the clamp bar off the mat so you can use both hands to position the mat. When ready to cut, push the mat clamp down and the unique spring design over rides the lifting feature.

right support arm

Right Support Arm Option:

The right support arm provides support for very large mats. It contains a scale for sizing to smaller mats with straight cut edges. A measuring stop is provided for repetitive sizing of the same dimensions.
