Tools and Hardware Reviews of Logan Mat Cutter Board Mounted Compact
Customer Review: Short learning curve with great results
Summary: 4 Stars
I borrowed this from a friend to "try it before I buy it," and was really impressed how easy it was to use. I don't have the steadiest of hands and was concerned that would affect the finished mat, but since the cutter does most of the work it turned out fine. If you have reached a point where you would rather take a little more time to mat artwork yourself rather than pay a framing store's outrageous prices, then this will pay for itself in no time. I'm ordering mine today!Customer Review: Sufficient for most mat board cutting for public
Summary: 4 Stars
Although it may not be common to public use, I frequently use 8 ply musium style mat boards and the cutter has no provision to change the depth to the thickness. However using diamond bar bit on miniture dril/grinder, I was able to enlarge the hole on the blade for the stopper screw. The enlargement is just enough to move the cutter below the mat surface of 8 ply mat. This model may be enough size to me for a while. Sure, larger cutter would be nice but for the cost so much more? Perhaps not. Other than the depth adjustment and smaller size, there is nothing to complain to. In fact, it is functionally near perfect for individual use even for use of independent artist.Customer Review: Very versatile and useful tool. Nice buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
This tool allowed me to frame my pics with a foam board back and a mat board bevel cut in framed in front. It's easy to use and the video that comes in the package is very explicit. If you want to make your own framing this is a must have. Caution: It only cuts mat boards and foam boards up to 30 inches long. Use a photo spray adhesive to glue the pic to the boards. Follow the intructions on cutting foam board and to make the bevel in the mat boards, otherwise you can cause damage to the tool or your work won't be that nicely sliced and cut. Watch out with the blades: they're really sharp.

Quality unit that, with a little time, makes professional (sometimes better) results. Went to a Logan demo at a Tall Mouse in LA and learned how to tape the first mat with the second for fantastic double matting. Saves money and time not having to drive for custom matting.Customer Review: diy fabulous!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this model for home use after years of using a larger version of it at my work place. It's a great tool for those who want to do intermediate framing. With some practice, you can make beautiful bevel cuts that mimic those that you'd pay big bucks for. It's eally quite easy to master. The instructions are very clear. And it's versatile... a wide variety of mat sizes can be cut. If you're agonizing over whether or not to purchase a Logan mat cutter, I say go for it. It's money well spent if you like to create your own art, but need to save some cash by using pre-existing frames. With this cutter you can customize any store bought frame to suit your "frameables". Enjoy!
