    GrooveMaster - V-Groove and Freestyle Cutter

    The GrooveMaster is a revolutionary new hand tool for cutting decorative V-Grooves into all types of picture framing mat board.
    V-Grooves add a stylish look to all your framing. It is that creative touch that gives your picture a professional finish.
    The GrooveMaster has been designed to attach to any MatMaster System Rule or Mat Cutter. Cuts a clean, even V-Groove in one pass - faster and easier than the standard method.

    Turn your GrooveMaster into a versatile hand carving tool by changing the blade setting. Remove one blade carefully, or position it so that it will not cut into the board. Position the other blade further out so that it cuts all the way through the board you are decorating. Now you can use your GrooveMaster as a carving tool. You can get ideas for cutouts from stencils. Simply trace around the stencil on to the face of the mount board, then cut out the pattern.
