Good grief, that is flaming brilliant!

I have one of these

cutters/logan-301-1-compact-classic/">http://www.logangraphic.com/product/board-
mounted-mat-cutters/logan-301-1-compact-classic/

Which uses this as the cutter (fixed depth cut, may need some shims to stop
its depth early)

Only issue is it only cuts one side at a time.  I also have a 90° cutter
somewhere.

This cutter is made for use without their "rail" system, and isn't as easy
to use.   I learned on this, then upgraded to the rail system after
screwing up a few $10 mat boards.

The free hand V Groove cutter is a bit hard to hold as well, in my
opinion.  But cuts both sides at the same time.
