Logan 701-1 Straight Cutter Elite Straight Matboard and Foamboard Cutter For Framing and Matting

Works great but it is a straight cutter and does 't cut bevels it won't cut bevels

Used with the "Logan 440-1 Team Cutting System" and now I can easily size and cut mats. Nice straight edges. I've mainly used it for mat board but it also has a foamboard setting that works well for cutting cardboard backing.

I concur with the reviewers who aren't satisfied due to the blade not being sharp enough and the design being a tad too flimsy. When using with Elmer's foam board, I've never successfully made a nice, one-pass cut. If I apply steady pressure, and start the incision on the inside of the board (not outside the edges,) I can start a nice, clean cut. But as I begin to approach the other edge, the blade begins to catch, resulting in a tearing along the incision line. I attribute this to insufficient sharpness of the blade and the light, plastic design. When you start, there is plenty of board to provide the resistance necessary to make this cutter work well. But when the board/cut-piece get closer to separating, the blade starts to catch, due to the low weight of the cutter and the blade not being sufficiently sharp. The best I've been able to manage is to make multiple, small passes instead of trying to cut all the way through the first attempt. It's never resulted in what I want, and I usually have to try and clean up manually with an X-acto blade (never finishes clean,) or toss the piece completely and try again. I really wanted this to work, and I've given it plenty of trial and error attempts, but without great results. I'm looking elsewhere and keeping my fingers crossed for something quicker, cleaner and more reliable.

This works fine but one tiny improvement would make a big difference. There is to mark on the tool that lets you know if the blade is lined up with the line you marked on your mat to cut. My mat cutter has a mark where the blade is so I know when to stop, preventing overcutting. This straight cutter has nothing to let you know where to place the blade. Lining it up on the line is a bit cumbersome and not as accurate. I'll probably make my own mark as best I can. The quality of the item is just okay. It's plastic, like everything else around us these days. At least it came with extra blades.

I've tried multiple things to try to make straight cuts for pieces of mat backing boards to mount artwork, but always had trouble getting all the way through the mat for the full cut, accidentally cutting at an angle, or coming off the guide at some point. This cutter holds the blade securely, is easy to hold, has settings for cutting foam or mat board, and rides on the edge and the top of the straightedge being used. Since you use your whole hand to hold and pull this to cut, it is much easier to work with than the less expensive cutters that are sized to use with just your fingers. It comes with some additional blades, and I like that it uses the same blades as Logan's other mat cutters. It is quite sturdy and feels like it will last a long time.

I do not plan on keeping this. It's very awkward to use as a right-handed person. I found it difficult to hold the foam board and apply enough pressure to pull the cutter without causing the board to bend and crease. For me, it's not working as advertised and is a hinderance more than a tool.

It’s slides on so smoothly. I do not like to use the knife that came with it. This makes it so much easier with great results. Would highly recommend it.

This is an attachment that fits into full sized mat cutters. I have not tried matting without the full sized mat cutter so I do not really know how it will go with using only a T-Square and ruler. But what can I say, this straight cutter cuts very straight and smooth lines. It came with a small package of blades to replace in case they get dull and the blades are super easy to change. Don't think I can say anything bad about something that does it's job so well. The only complaint would be the small package of blades it comes with. It could be easy to lose or misplace.

Wenn als Material Stahl angegeben ist, dann erwartet man das als Kunde auch. Der graue Korpus ist aus Plastik und lässt sich nicht sauber in der (original) Schiene von Logan führen. Der Artikel sollte aus dem Programm entfernt werden, oder die Artikelbeschreibung muss geändert werden. Leider liegt die Bestellung schon länger zurück und ich habe jetzt erst wieder ein Passepartout schneiden wollen. In der Verpackung konnte man das nicht unbedingt erkennen. Wenn ich könnte, würde ich den Artikel zurück senden, da der Artikel nicht der Beschreibung entspricht.

I use it for cutting a straight edge on my mats using my Logan mat cutter. You don’t wanna try a cutting a mat using scissors. That’s a huge No! use one of these. They glide smoothly along the rail on my Logan mat cutter.

Tiene un diseño muy ergonómico y puedes graduar para profundizar el corte, excepto para foam de 10mm que no llega.

J'ai commandé cet article qui vient en complément de ma règle Logan. Ce traction droit est très pratique il n'y a pas besoin de forcer pour faire des coupes droites, beaucoup plus pratique que le cuter à main et fait des coupes très propres.La livraison est arrivée beaucoup plus tôt que prévue. Un objet qui me facilite mon travail sans effort, je coupe beaucoup de contrecollé pour réalisé mes maries-louises.

Have been using Logan mat cutting equipment for 30 years. Its all 100% fit for purpose, and this cutter I bought recently purchased is right up to the mark in every way. A valuable tool for cutting matboard accurately and easily. Great tool. Worth every cent.
