Excellent With Adjustments!

By Sandeep
Rated 5 out of 5

It Is Excellent Cutter Once You Adjust It Properly For The Purpose. By Default, The Rubber Pieces That Rest On Rail Had Very Tight Setting Thereby Causing Friction And Difficulty In Movement. Adjusted The Screws To Reduces The Hook Tightness. Don't Know Why This Setting Is Missing From User Manual. Second Adjustment Recommended Is Adjusting The Blade Length Depending On Mat Thickness (4 Or 8 Ply). Blade Should Just Scratch The Slip Sheet, Not Put Deep Cut In Slip Sheet. This Also Reduces Friction And Makes Motion Easier. Third Issue I Faced Is If You Hold The Cutter Tight, The Screw Pinches The Finger. I Put In Sticky Leather Patch To Improve The Grip And Hide Screw Under Leather So That Palm And Fingers Rest On Leather. I Believe Logan Can Improve The Design To Help With Grip Or Include Optional Rubber/leather Grip. It Will Improve The Usability. Still Much Better Than Very Basic Logan 2000!

It's a learning curve

OK, B&H did everything to the best one could expect. Now, on to the cutter. After 20 + years with a push stroke mat cutter this is going to take some time to get comfortable with. The thickness of the mat is one thing, but to really be in control this is, even by Logan's instruction sheet, a two handed operation. Now, the good. The cuts are clean, the instructions are complete and readable, and with practice I will soon be making the 8-ply mats I've admired for so long.

question

How well does it work for cutting foam board?
Asked by: Alan N.
This is more for mat board, other cutters are more appropriate for foam board, you want one that cuts not at an angle and handles thicker material.

question

What is the maximum depth of cut?
Asked by: Anonymous
That depends on the blade you use. We cut foam board, for example, without any problems.I also found that blade packs sold at Home Depot will fit the Logan, and they are stiffer and last longer than standard blades. The Logan cutter also makes it easy to adjust the depth.I hope this is helpful.
