Yep, the Alto's QuiltCut2. It isn't a machine but rather a surface with a cutting mat and a guide that goes either horizontally or vertically ... or even at angles. There is a measuring attachments so that you have consistency in cutting
I have both too.. I use the go more often than the Alto and IMHO the Alto is just a cutting mat with guides and you use your own rotary cutter.. The go you buy the dies you like/want. and the mats are basically disposable so they need to be replaced depending on how often and how much you abuse them.. I have back up mats for my back up mats, just in case..
