Yeah think the guys are right,a mount cutter is only way to go.A company here in kilkeny sells them very resonable called Scopas Mouldings. I suppose if youre doin high volume stuff this would be the way for you,they also do deals every now and then. If interested look for a guy called Jamie or Brian. i suppose they could put you in the right direction for something smaller and cost effective if it exist?
Ben 8)I’ve been cutting my own mounts for years and it’s a relatively straight forward process once you have the right tools for the job (isn’t anything!).
I’ve been using a Logan mount cutter – any good arts supplies store should have these in stock. The only other thing you need to get started are a decent straight edge and a piece of sacrificial mount board of the same material as the actual mount board you are going to be cutting. This last piece is quite important. Once you have the blade set to the correct depth, cutting your mount on top of a piece of scrap mountboard is the only way of avoiding curves and other imperfections in your cut.
If you have a large volume of mounts to do, you are better off asking a framing shop to do them for you (make sure you ask for a competitive price) because DIY cutting of mounts is not something you can comfortably do in high volumes. The most I cut in a single session was 20 mounts – after that it became both tedious and tiring.
