This is my 2nd Logan mat cutter. I lost my 1st one which I've had for years from moving. The quality of the mat cutter is nice and I like the extra blades are included. It's very easy to use for anyone.Customer Review: I love learning to cut mats!

I have just learned to cut mats so I can do my own framing. It is fun and soooooo much cheaper than taking your painting to a store to get it framed.
Thank you for making such a product.

Customer Review: Just a bit of patience, well worth the results
Summary: 5 Stars
I got my Logan 301 yesterday, and have already gotten the hang of it. I bought some practice sheets and spent an hour or two with it, and now I am cutting real mats! It took a little practice, but I think it's well worth it.
The machine is well built and comes with five replacement blades. The blades seem to wear quickly, so I've already ordered a pack of 100 replacements. Unlike a reviewer below, I am able to adjust the depth of the blade with a little screw on the bottom of the cutter. In fact, it's necessary! You have to get the depth just right or the cuts won't come out straight. (I learned the hard way). I recommend visiting the Logan web site and reading over their FAQ and troubleshooting tips. They also have a downloadable form that shows you how to get the most out of a single piece of 32X40 matboard.
The only minus so far is that it is impossible to straight cut a full 32x40 matboard. Due to the size of the device, straight cuts are limited to boards no wider than 28 inches, which means that you must use a straight-edge or t-square to subdivide a full size matboard before you begin matting. It can create mats from board that size, but not straight-cut them. I may start buying 1/4 sheets just for convenience sake, even though they are a little bit more expensive. Otherwise, I am highly satisfied.
