Logan 5000 8-ply bevel mat cutter
What this tool is for
The Logan 5000 is made for beveling openings in 8-ply matboard. It is the model to compare if your current setup is built around thinner mats and the thicker edge is an intentional part of the presentation. Check the matboard specification before buying a cutter for the job.
Logan’s manual specifies the #271 single-bevel blade for this tool. If you already stock #270 blades for a 2000 or 4000, plan to keep the 5000’s replacements separately labeled. Run a trial corner on an offcut of the actual board before cutting the display opening.

Questions about this tool
Which side should I practice on first?
Follow Logan’s setup instructions and test from the back of an offcut. Turn it over to inspect the visible bevel and the meeting point of the two cuts.
Will a thicker mat change how the frame closes?
It adds to the stack of glazing, mat, print and backing. Measure that stack against the frame’s usable recess before choosing a fitting method.
How do I know whether I need this model?
Confirm that the mat is 8-ply. If the project uses standard thinner board, compare a cutter documented for that stock and the guide you already own.
