Logan Graphics 32" Compact Elite Mat Cutter

Yes

32” mat is the max. There is no room for a larger mat.

Hello. Yes you can accomplish a border smaller than 3/4" using the mat guide on a Logan board mounted mat cutter. The easiest way is to cut the exact opening you need on a larger mat blank with borders wider than 3/4". Like for instance create your mat with 1 1/2" borders instead. Then after the mat is done, go back with your straight cutter and reduce each of the 4 sides by 3/4" and what will remain is the mat opening you needed with 3/4" borders. I hope that helps. Thanks.

8 ply = 10 mm

I bought the above cutter as a spare in case the cutter I was using would not work well.So far, I haven't used your cutter. I don't know about the 8 ply board, but I am definitely sure itcan cut foam board.Ray Gaietto

This may cutter, like Logan's other mat cutters, does come with both a straight cutter (intended for mats or foam core) and a bevel cutter (intended for cutting bevels on mats). It may be impracticable, though, to use the straight cutter for cutting a substrate much thinner than mat or foam, as the cutting board has a groove in which the blade of the straight cutter rides. For a thick substrate like foam or matboard (2- or 4-ply) that is rigid on its own there is no risk of an inconsistent cut due to material bending down into that groove, but with a thinner material that might be a risk. The thinnest material I've cut on my Logan mat cutter was linen (trimming the linen on a linen-backed piece of art), which worked fine, but for anything thinner for which you want absolutely precise cuts you might be better off with a good straightedge (the Logan Adapt-A-Rule is excellent -- I have the 40-inch model) and a sharp knife on a cutting surface without such a groove as this has. That said, for mats and foam I wouldn't use anything other than this device; it's really quite excellent.
