RE: [Digital BW] 2B pencil did the trick / pricing question

Yeah, me too. But I've used the pro equipment in my short life as a
framer, and once you have it's pretty hard to go back. It makes cutting
glass and mat board down to size like a two-second job - no measuring
and marking and sliding straight-edges, just slap it on the machine,
line it up with the measuring gauge and cut. Not really a practical
piece of equipment for the home framer though.

I have always cut glass on a flat table with a piece of thin cardboard
underneath.  Thin carpet is often used too.

The pros use a wall-mounted vertical cutter that makes it
pretty easy, but that's like a $1500 piece of equipment.
