Logan 2000 push-style bevel mat cutter
What this tool is for
The Logan 2000 makes the beveled opening in a mat with a forward push. It suits a bench where you already have a suitable straight guide and want to set up a few windows without keeping a board-mounted system on the table. If you prefer pulling the cutter toward you, compare the action of the Logan 4000 before choosing.
For a rectangular window, mark the opening on the back of the mat and test the depth and starting position on a scrap of the same board. A practice corner lets you see whether the cuts meet cleanly before working on the finished mat.

Questions about this tool
Which spare blade fits the 2000?
Logan specifies its #270. Use the model number when you order replacements, especially if another cutter on the same bench uses the #271.
Where does a straight cutter fit in the workflow?
Use a straight cutter when the outer edge of the mat needs a square cut to fit the frame. The 2000 makes the bevel around the visible opening.
When is a board-mounted system worth comparing?
If you make the same border on a batch of mats, compare a system with an integrated rail and repeatable mat placement to the separate guide setup.
