Hi Paul, I have used a Maped ruler with 45 degree (can't find the symbol) cutter for a while. I don't use it a great deal but its is relatively easy to use. It is not for a high volume of mounts though. Don't use a cutting board underneath the 45 degree cutter though as it will take gouges out of your board. You need another piece or two of card to cut on which is a pain. Through carelessness I have screwed up a couple of times but you basically draw your frame size with another frame 25/26mm inside along which you position the ruler. Make sure the blade is the right way round or you'll get anything but a straight line. I found that out the hard way. Hope this helps.
