Does anyone know how much the Standard model costs?

Mark,
I have seen these cutters in use and believe they sell for over $1000. They are a great cutter for volume jobs. You may be able to pick one up used for a good price. A lot of frame shops, like myself, are switching to computerized mat cutters which may put some good used equipment on the market.

Thanks, Ron.

I had them send me a quote earlier this year, for the standard it was around $3000. I'd love to get my hands on a used one, but I'm not sure I could afford even that.

Hmmm... that Logan 750 I got for $199 a few years back, and still doing a fine job, is looking really good right now!

I got one last year for a little over $3000. I would never go back to a table top cutter :smile:

Got a spare three grand hanging around?

What size wall do you need to hang it on? a foot or two more on each side? I have serious envy.
