NT Cutter MAT-45P bevel mat cutter
What this tool is for
The NT MAT-45P cuts a 45-degree bevel in a mat opening. Its adjustable blade depth is useful when you can test on an offcut from the actual sheet. Set the blade for that board before working around the opening so you can judge the cut from both faces.
Measure the part of the print you want visible before laying out the window. If it is important to show a signature or leave an even margin around an image, a test layout with the print is more helpful than copying the nominal print size.

Questions about this tool
Which replacement blade should I buy?
NT lists BMC-45P for the MAT-45P. Match that code to the cutter on your bench.
Does blade adjustment tell me the maximum board thickness?
The supplied instructions show how to match the blade setting to the board. Try the setup on scrap first. If the board is unusually thick, check the manufacturer’s instructions for that material.
Would a straight trim knife do the same job?
A straight trim cut gives a square edge. Choose the MAT-45P for the angled edge you want visible around the print.
