Re: [Digital BW] Re: Mat Cutters

Tom, how in God's name can you get a clean cut with a Dexter mat cutter?
What holds your whole apparatus down without anything moving?  How do
you keep the mat cutter from weaving around while making a cut? I
majored in art when I was at the University, and nobody, not one person
could use a dexter and get a professional looking mat. Just wondering!! :)
