Can any one tell if this is are was a good cutter

[Not your average framer]

That's a very old mount cutter. The chance of getting spares for are very poor. It does not even take normal mount cutting blades, but it was designed to use Stanley Knife 080 blades. This is from the days when most people were using neutral pH cream core mountboard, which was much less dense than the denser mountboard which most people use today. The arrow is quite hard work trying to get that type of blade to cut through todays more modern and denser mountboards.

It was not really a serious contender as a professional mountcutter against the competition of the like the C & H,the Magnolia and the Keeton. It was the first generation of Keencut mountcutters and was replaced by the Keencut Laser ( which was not all that great either), after this came the Ultimat, , the Ultimat gold and then the futura. You have to get back 5 generations of Keencut mountcutters from what's currently in production. That's a very long time!

If you have already got one, don't expect anyone to be interested in buying it from you, sorry they might have been a reasonable mountcutter in 1980's, but that was a long time ago, If you are thinking of buying one, don't bother. The modern day value is near enough nothing!
