Framing materials are expensive. If you avoid just ONE mistake, this tool has paid for itself.
One mis-cut mat or short length of moulding costs more than a month of Framer's Bench. Enter your artwork, choose a mat style, and get exact matboard, glass, backing and frame cut sizes in seconds - so you reach the cutter confident, work faster and stop throwing materials in the bin.
Every calculation on one single, easy-to-read page. 7-day free trial, no card needed.
Sound familiar?
Spent 20 minutes calculating… still not confident?
Rebates, reveals, overlaps, glazing clearance - one slip and the mat is scrap. Get every cut size in seconds and know it's right before the blade touches the board.
Why does framing feel harder than making the art?
Because the maths is fiddly and unforgiving. Framer's Bench does it for you, so finishing a piece feels as good as creating it.
Stop wasting matboard and mouldings.
Every wrong measurement ends up in the offcut bin. Precise matboard, backing, glass and moulding sizes mean perfect cuts the first time - and less money thrown away.
For artists who don't have time for maths - but can't afford mistakes.
Whether you frame one piece a month or fifty a week, Framer's Bench gives you the numbers fast, so your time goes into the work - not the arithmetic.
