Cos-Tools - Channel Rail

Channel Rail

Achieve perfectly straight cuts and v-grooves with dual-scale precision

Aluminum construction keeps this 32-inch rail straight under pressure while remaining light enough for single-handed repositioning. The channel rail side guides Cos-Tools Straight and V-Groove cutters through precise cuts in mat board, foam core, and similar materials without wandering or binding. Dual-scale edges on the reverse eliminate the need to flip the rail when measuring from different reference points, left-to-right or right-to-left readings are immediately available.

The channel design locks compatible cutters into position while allowing smooth travel along the full length. This prevents the blade drift that compromises accuracy in long cuts. Mat cutters appreciate how the rail's length handles standard 32-inch boards while the aluminum resists the warping that develops in shorter composite rails after repeated use. The dual-scale feature proves particularly valuable when cutting multiples or working with centered compositions where measurements run from multiple origins.
