[LargeFormat] Film Cutter (was Big Old Cave)

[Paul Moshay]

Sounds like a good idea and it seems to work for you.  How about a rubber
roller that has a small groove in the center to hold the film down over the
cutter.  That way it would not scratch the film like a sliding clampdown
would and keep the bloodletting to as minimum.
