Logan 747021 Compact Elite 350-1 Passepartout Cutter set

We pondered a long time over this (particularly as the UK price is so much more than the US so we were tempted to wait til our next trip to get one there) - almost gave it 4* as a result but the item is so good that we stuck to 5*. But it really does the job well. We have had it for a few weeks and cut about 50 mounts ranging from 4"x6" to just about A2 and it has been great. We've only really messed up one mount - we found the trick is to slightly (about <0.5mm) overcut the bevel cuts. Once you have the hang of it a mount can be cut in a couple of minutes. They look perfect. The actual device seems ok - we are treating it with care as it looks easily damaged but so far so good. We bought (too many!) additional blades - we are finding that we have only used 2 so far (and really they could have been used longer). Another 50'ish mounts and it would have paid for itself and it is so convenient to be able to cut a mount as needed. (We are using Daler Rowney mount board).

It seems pretty robust and accurate so far and is reasonably easy to use. The instructions don't explain bevel cutting ever so well, but you should be able to work it out - practice with some scrap card first! They don't mention that your slip sheet (which sits beneath your card to be cut, presumably to protect the blade when it emerges from the bottom of your card) will probably get very cut-up in time, so you will probably have to cut yourself a duplicate from piece of mounting card at some point. The machine is quite hefty and you need a decent sized space to store it (mine's being kept in its box under the bed!). Happy with it, just what I needed.

It’s incredibly easy to use with no difficulty at all, which, for me is quite surprising. I have a lot of upper body weakness and pain and I was worried that I might have over-stretched myself with this mat cutter. But I have to say it’s very easy both physically and skill levels required. Even before I had my difficulties I was never any good at anything requiring precision or any level of manual skill, but even I can use this. The blades cut into both mat board and foam board without any difficulty at all, it really is so simple even I can do it. I’m not sure what the person meant when he said you have to push it one way and then pull it the other, just go with the blade. I print A3+ and mount on A2 at my largest and this cutter is plenty big enough for my needs and to me this is a one off purchase that I can’t see me upgrading. Well worth every penny.

Having used a professional mount cutter for many years I didn't expect much from a low priced cutter. However, I was surprised by the good quality of the build of it and tried a few cuts straight away. This model is a push style cutter and I was used to the pull style but I was soon accustomed to this change of direction. The instructions are clear and I was soon cutting perfect mounts with no overcuts. The squaring arm simply drops into a groove in the baseboard and is rather loose but a bit of fine packing solved that minor irritation. There are two cutting heads, one for cutting mounts and the other for cutting boards to size, both we'll made and which run on the straight edge ensuring straight cuts. On the whole I would recommend this Logan cutter for good mounts at a good price if you don't need to cut large numbers.it ces with a tutorial cd and a book on DIY framing Prices vary and you can save £20 if you search enough.

Received in very good time, the packaging was robust and sound being double wrapped, upon opening the product was as expected, and well made, after assembling it, which was very easy I tried it out, the product is as stated and not only works well, but very well built and strong for use, although the price is high, you buy once and it last's, well worth the money.

The logan compact cutter makes cutting professional standard picture mats very easy. The price is a little high but worth it for the results it produces. Wish I had got it years ago instead of struggling with the Jakar cutter.

I was a bit sceptical that the mounts would come out as easily as they showed in the video but they did. I am impressed with this easy to use mount cutter and no doubt, over time it will pay for itself in savings from picture framers and pre-cut bought mounts. The one thing I did not like is that the video uses a female to demonstrate the product rather than a mix of males and females. Is there a subliminal message here that "even a woman" can do it right?

This new addition to my workroom has proven to to be an outstanding success! Firstly I carefully watched the instruction videos and then proceeded to give the matt cutting a try. Such a delight to do something which I had previously thought of as a professional job . WARNING: You MUST keep total concentration on the task, especially the measurement calculations, and also when to place the slip mat and when not. If you want to transform mediocre artwork into admirable images, then this is the equipment for you!

Per tagliare i passepartout e comunque per fare lavori di taglio di precisione è indispensabile, grazie alle guide precise e al fermo permette di fare dei lavori professionali

After practicing on a small piece of matboard, I was able to tackle a project and it worked perfectly. I only made one mistake as I was cutting out 3 openings in a 16x20 board but was able to fix it (need to ensure that board is rotated for each cut, not just move along from one side to the opposite side or the bevel will be reversed). It is much easier to use with the stops and they are easy to adjust.

Korzystam z niego już kilka lat, wycinam paspartu do swoich obrazów. Okienka wychodzą znakomite, dbam o to urządzenie i bardzo polecam.

facile d'emploi. Fragilitée des vis en pastique sur les butées de coupe. Seul hic de ce materiel. une vis s'est cassé sans avoir serrer très fort

Es muy práctica, fácil de usar y cumple con su propósito Muy satisfechos por el producto.
