What this tool is for

The 701-1 sizes the outer edge of matboard or foam board. This is the cut that lets the blank sit squarely inside the frame before you cut the visible opening.

It is a separate straight cutting head, so check the rail listed in Logan’s instructions if you want it to attach to equipment you own. For the angled edge around the artwork, pair the 701-1 with a bevel head.

Questions about this tool

Does the 701-1 share blades with the Logan 2000?

Logan specifies #270 for both tools. Their cut profiles and tasks still differ.

Which frame measurement guides the outer cut?

Measure inside the recess behind the frame where the blank sits. The visible artwork opening serves a separate measurement.

When would a larger sizing station help?

For repeated wide blanks, compare a board-mounted straight trimmer with a squaring arm and enough working length.
