In this youtube movie Carla is seen setting up the wizard computerized mat cutter to cut a mat with multiple openings. Without the wizard mat cutter she would have spent lots of time drawing the arrangement on the back of the mat and then manually cutting each opening – a very time-consuming and costly (for the customer) operation which is prone to error. With this mat cutter, the cuts are technically perfect and the time savings are passed on to the customer.
The first thing you see is Carla changing the blade on the cutter and then putting the mat board into the machine for cutting. The whole process then is automatic, including cutting the mat to the proper size to fit into the frame.
