Abstract
A material cutting system for trimming sheet material having a base, a blade engageable with the sheet material along a cut line and a material guide including an illuminated surface indicative of the location of the cut line. In one set of embodiments, an illuminating assembly produces light that is internally transmitted through a light guide portion of the material guide to the illuminated surface. The illuminated surface provides for ready and correct orientation of the sheet material to the desired position for cutting by the material trimmer.
