4501 Mat Cutting System

The 4501 is perfect for anyone who needs a simple tool to cut perfect, professional quality mats. There are other inexpensive machines, but nothing in this price range works as well as the Alto’s 4501. Measuring and layout is simple and uses the same techniques as our larger machines. Because it is open-ended, the 4501 will cut any length mat with border widths up to 6″. The professional-quality Model 45 Cutting Head cuts true 45° bevels, with crisp corners and no overcuts. Anyone can cut single and double mats, inlays, complex corners, mosaic corners, multiple openings and any style of mat. Use right- or left-handed. The 4501 Mat Cutting system comes complete with 8″ x 32″ base, patented “Post and Hole” measuring system, Model 45 Cutting Head, complete instructions, a couple pieces of practice matboard and 5 blades, everything you need except a good, sharp pencil.
