Logan 440-1 Team Cutting System Plus For Framing, Matting, Precision Cutting, and Design

This product is well made, substantial, easy to read, and very sturdy. I especially like that the cutter can be set in a ridge to keep it up tight against the straight edge, so it will not go off track, and yet even though it is secured, it can be easily moved. Shipping was well boxed and arrivedin great condition. Great job Logan.

I am very happy with the cutting result. I put cardboard beneath the mat boards. It is easy to hold and to cut. The mat board might move around a bit, so do not cut too fast, pay more attention to holding on tight. Also, if you have thick cardboard like me, it does not hurt to set the cut a bit deeper than necessary. If you expect your mat to be perfect, I do recommend some practice. When you first push the blade down, if the mat is thick and tough, the blade might push your hand backwards; so it is important to try and get used to it. I personally do not care much. If the mat does not look good enough, I just use paint to cover the problems up. To order one mat online may cost me 30 or 40 dollars. I already cut 5 mats so far and I am very happy to be able to save the money.

The box says it includes a set of 5 blades but there were no blades in the box. I ordered a replacement thinking the second box would finally come with the blades, but again the second order didn’t come with any. If the blades are removed from each box on purpose, it should be called out front and center on the product listing so that people know they have to buy blades separately if they’re planning to use this product as soon as it arrives.Edit: tried contacting the seller to ask if Logan 270-10 would fit, because the listing says Logan 270 and when I searched for that, those blades look different than the ones in the instruction videos. I never heard back, so I bought the 270-10 anyways and it did work. Overall the products works well and is simple to use. Great for my hobbyist needs. I just wish there was a bit more transparency with the listing and a little more product support.

It's great for the price, considering the cost difference for better mat cutters. I do love Logan products, but this is a little hard to use as one person. Maybe that's why they call it "team system"... I feel like I need someone to hold down the rail while I slide the cutting blade. I use it to cutand mat mostly 24” posters, and I've had some pretty good results. The bevel guide line is accurate and the rail has a little bit of grip to help it not slide.

works exceptional. I was able to custom size som inexpensive matts.

Mat blades were missing from the order.

I just used this to bevel cut my first matt board opening to frame a photograph. It was very easy to use and worked great. I watched the company's youtube video and it couldn't have been easier to accurately bevel cut the board. Can't beat it for the price.

After practice on at least three mattes to learn how to use this beveled matte system, it works perfectly as I am preparing for a show of my drawings. The archival mattes fit perfectly with museum quality! The best matte system for framing I have ever found.
