Yes, I need a mount cutter, too!

Hi folks,

Thanks to the browser on my mobile phone being too darn slow, I just missed out on a Keencut Ultimat on eBay, today

I currently use a Longridge Duo but I want upgrade it to a good quality 48" cutter with a squaring arm.

Obviously, I'd love an Ultimat (which is why I was bidding on one, of course) but I can afford a new one. About £400-odd quid is my limit.

Could anyone recommend an appropriate alternative? Or better still, anyone got an Ultimat they don't want?

Thanks is advance.
Steve

If you are still interested I have a Keencut Ultimat 48" available- please note it is the Ultimat model not the Ultimat Gold.

It was previously owned by a framer and has had regular use but is in good condition.
The only reason I am selling is that I now have a 32" Gold model which better suits the space I have available and the size of mounts that I make.

I would be looking for £250 for the Ultimat. I would prefer it to be collected (North Manchester) but coudl arrange delivery by courier - probably around £20-£25

Sounds like a bargain and if I wasn't so weak-willed, I'd take you up on it.

Unfortunately, I allowed myself to be seduced when I popped into Lion today and ended up walking away with a 40" Artist+. I'd have preferred a 48" and the squaring arm is at least 2" shorter than I could do with, but otherwise it seems a lovely piece of kit.

I fear I may have left drool over the Ultimat Gold that I tried but I just couldn't bring myself to spend an extra £330-odd.

Thanks for your reply, anyway.

Cheers,
Steve
