Yep...use a Logan all the time...the one with the little tape measure
attached at each end which makes it easier to cut to the marks you draft
on the reverse of the mount.

Makes sense but didn't find anything like that that worked well at
sensible prices.
I finished up buying a really heavy steel straight edge from
Origin(croydon). Its 3 feet long about 3" wide and quarter of an inch
thick and very heavy with a bevelled edge (but no measurement marks).
With a strip of wet and dry stuck to the underside with double sided
tape it aint going nowhere but stays well and truly where you put it
with just light hand pressure while you run the cutter along it.

So did I......;-)
