We cut mounts for 50 cards on our Valiani CMC. First of all we do a practice on a scrap piece of mount board to get the aperture size just right as we have found some sets of cards to be slightly different sizes to others. Having tried the pre cut mounts we find this much more satisfactory.
Customers seem happy as they come back for more.

Another John and a Valiani as well.
I wasnt going to advertise on here, but will now.
Likewise we cut cigarette mounts and have recently won a good contract with a 'major player' who is an end product seller.
To see examples and cost visit my site at the link below.
As with others on this thread, we have cut many 50 aperture mounts on the manual Keencut. What a pain - literally -it is. Like some of you it magically goes wrong with the last few cuts. Hence the CMC. What a Godsend.

Put a nice big pencilled X in the middle of each dropout. If you see the X when cutting, you're doing it wrong.prospero wrote:The Golden Rule for all us non-CMC types when cutting any multi-aperture mounts to pencil lines:
Always keep the dropout area under the cutter bar and all your bevels will go the right way.
