Logan 5000 8-ply Bevel Mat Cutter

I am an artist with some experience making mats and frames. I wanted to save money on frames for a show so I set out to frame all 23 pieces myself. Due to an over-sight on my part I purchased 8ply mat board instead of 6ply, so I had to purchase this to cut my mats.Like any mat cutter YOU HAVE TO GET USED TO IT before you can cut precise windows. The stop/start marks are really more like guidelines that can change depending on a number of factors like how much blade is exposed, what brand mat you’re cutting etc… I had to cut several practice mats before I was able to figure out where my start/stop marks actually were. Once I had it figured out cutting my mats was pretty streamlined.NOTE: Buy extra blades!!!!! You have to change the blades often to get clean cuts. I changed the blade every three or four mats to be certain.
