FRAMER'S EDGE
MAT CUTTER MODELS 650, 655 & 660
The Logan Framer’s Edge Mat
Cutter has been designed
specifically with the framer in
mind. All the materials are heavy-
duty to withstand the rigors of
professional mat cutting and to
provide the accuracy framers
demand.
Features which Logan introduced
to the industry years ago like the
squaring arm, mat guide, the
movable production stop and the
high-tech aluminum cutting bar
have all been re-designed for
reduced fatigue, simple blade
change and precise adjustment of
the blade to maintain straight cuts
with no overcuts. In addition, the
cutting head contains a new
gauge which eliminates overcuts.
We are confident that the quality,
accuracy and dependability of the
Framer’s Edge will be everything
you expect in a professional mat
cutter.
This instructional manual is
written to acquaint you thoroughly
with this product. Referred to at
the outset, it will answer many
questions that may arise during
use. You will find that the time
taken will be well worth it and you
will be cutting top quality mats in
no time.
