I tried a couple print shops with no luck. I ended up going to a picture framer and used his old manual matting cutter.

Same here. No luck with Print shops.

Wonder when SGC will start and what the price will be? Anyone know?

Ding, Ding, Ding! I have a mat cutter!!
I thought the deal with a mat cutter (razor blade) was that under close scrutiny one could tell that It wasn't cut at the factory. I realize that Jell-O and Post Cereal cards should be cut with a razor but is that what the original poster is asking?

Print shops have power cutters that cut with a guillotine blade. Only draw back is that you need 30 or more sheets of scrap paper to make any cuts. The guillotine blade would dull if you only cut a sheet at a time. Bring a ream of paper with you when you ask them to cut to size. The power cutter is super precise as long as the user knows what they're doing. You need to find a print shop that isn't busy.
If you're cutting sheets, you need a pile of scrap paper the same size of the sheet.
