Digital BW, The Print

One of my colleagues is astounding with a dexter. Learned at Brooks. He
uses a nonskid (rubber-backed) cutting bar to guide the dexter.
That said, I bought a Logan Framer's Edge (mod 650). Excellent cutter.
Many, very precise, adjustments to control over/undercuts. Cutters are
attached to the cutting bar. (Straight and 45 degree cutters). Very
nice. It costs around $400

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!!
:)
