[Leica] Urgent advice please - mat cutters

[reid at mejac.palo-alto.ca.us (Brian Reid)]

I make mats all the time. I consider myself to be pretty good at it.

I stopped using dry mount presses 5 years ago. I use photographic tape 
and/or spray glue now. Faster, better, and less damaging to the prints.

I've always used a Dexter MC80 mat cutter; I use a new blade for every mat. 
I know you can spend a lot more money on mat cutters but I've never found 
the need.
I don't think a left-handed person could use this properly, but, not being 
one, I can't say for sure.
