Logan 4000 deluxe pull-style mat cutter
What this tool is for
The Logan 4000 is a pull-action bevel cutter for mat openings. It makes sense if you can hold the guide steadily and draw the tool toward you without changing the pressure halfway through a cut. Compare the motion with the forward-pushing Logan 2000 if you are building your first setup.
Work through a test opening on the same board before making the final window. Check how the corners meet from the face of the mat. The first adjustment to make depends on where the cut begins and ends on the back.

Questions about this tool
Can I share blades between the 4000 and the 2000?
Logan specifies #270 blades for both. You can keep one labeled supply for those two cutters.
Can I use the same setup for an 8-ply mat?
Check the board you actually plan to cut. Logan sells a dedicated 5000 for 8-ply mats, and its blade specification is different.
What should I allow for on a small workbench?
Set aside enough flat space for the board and guide, plus clear space in the direction you draw the tool. Try the motion on a scrap before setting the final opening.
