What this tool is for

The 201 uses a pivoting cutter to make an oval or round window. Choose it for curved openings where a rectangular bevel head cannot follow the layout. Compare the actual window dimensions with Logan’s chart before marking the mat.

The cut deepens over successive rotations. Set the center and the shape on scrap first, especially when an oval needs to stay clear of a signature or come close to the print edge.

Questions about this tool

What measurements do I need for an oval?

Measure the opening’s width and height, then check the difference between them against the adjustment instructions.

Which replacement is used for the 201?

Logan specifies #324. Check that code if you also own a straight-line cutter with other blades.

When should I compare the NT OL-7000GP?

Compare both tools by the opening you need and the depth adjustment. The NT system has a different circle range and refill.
