I can never get the same cut all the way through both sides, for the top to match the bottom. Too much resistance, as the bottom side gets bent under somehow, causing the 2 cuts to be imprecise and irregular.

Rick...
Do you own the mat cutter, or do you take it to a frame shop? I may try that method.... Thanks!
Mark, I have a Logan mat cutter that I use to cut all my own mats, works great and saves me a ton of money in framing costs. It also works well on cutting the rigid pennant holders using the straight edge blade that comes with the kit. It is easier to use than cutting on a flat surface since it has a channel cutout for the blade depth. You just need to make sure the pennant holder doesn't move as you cut.
