Anybody suggest a goood mount cutter, capable of cutting a max width 40" hole.

Anybody have one for sale?

I've got mount-cutting equipment made by Maped, but the ruler is 80cm (which is only around 31"). Aside from the fact it's not long enough for your needs, the Maped kit is very good. I imagine a ruler in excess of 40" will not come cheap!

I have a question about mounts actually: I need to cut a panoramic mount that is wider than a standard mount board is long! Anybody know where I can get mount board larger than the standard (A0?)???

Cheers,

Lion picture framing supplies should be able to sort both requests.

The last mountcutter I bought....and sold......was a 1200mm Keencut job I got from Lion, cost about £800 as far as I recall. It was very good, but for all the mounted prints I sell it wasn't worth holding on to it.

There is a minimum order of £50 unless you have a trade account with them. I have always found them to be a highly efficient and helpful company to deal with
