What this tool is for

The 440-1 supplies a long straightedge, bevel head and sizing knife without a permanent base. Choose it if you have a large flat table that also needs to be clear between framing projects.

The 40 inches describes the straightedge. Measure the longest cut and leave space to hold the board and set the cutter at both ends. Use the shorter 424-1 if your stock fits that guide and storage is limited.

Documentation

Questions about this tool

Will the 40-inch guide alone keep all four borders square?

Lay out the borders from a square blank first. The guide supports each individual cut.

What is the knife’s documented foam-board use?

Logan lists up to 3/16-inch foam board for downsizing with the included knife.

When would I use a mounted system instead?

Compare a mounted bed if you need to reset the same border frequently and want a fixed squaring reference.
