NT Cutter CUT-45 handheld bevel cutter
What this tool is for
The CUT-45 uses a low oval grip and adjustable blade depth. Choose it for a beveled window with straight sides, where you can steady a ruler across the mat and set the blade on an offcut first.
It uses the same BMC-45P as NT’s red MAT-45P. If you already keep those blades, compare the two grip shapes and which one lets you apply pressure while keeping the ruler in place.

Questions about this tool
Can it cut an oval around a portrait?
Choose a guided oval cutter such as NT’s OL-7000GP if both opening dimensions are within its range.
Why set the blade on the same board first?
The depth needed changes with the material. A scrap lets you see whether the cut reaches through the board before you work around the finished opening.
What part of the mat does this tool shape?
It bevels the opening. Use a straight sizing cutter if the outside of the mat must fit squarely into a frame.
