Abstract
A hand-held cutter for cutting sheet material, such as framing mats, which includes a body member of hemispheroidal shape, the diametral plane of which constitutes a flat bottom for moving over the sheet material. The body member has on the external surface thereof a pair of spaced-apart flat vertically oriented guiding surfaces between which are provided a pair of cutting blade-receiving slots, one disposed vertically and the other disposed at an angle with respect to the vertical. A cutting blade placed in either of the blade-receiving slots, after being adjusted to the desired cutting depth, is locked in position by a clamp which is actuated by a thumb-wheel which is largely contained within the body member.
