Logan 550-1 Simplex Classic 40-inch mat cutter
What this tool is for
The 550-1 pairs a pull bevel head with a separate straight head on one bed. Choose it for standard mats when you want to size the blank and cut the window at the same station.
The squaring arm and production stops help repeat the layout across a batch. The 750-1 adds material-specific heads for jobs such as scoring glazing and beveling 8-ply board, so compare the Elite if those tasks belong at the same bench.

Documentation
Questions about this tool
Can I share a #270 supply with a Logan 4000?
Logan documents #270 for the standard mat cutters on the 550-1 and for the handheld 4000.
What does the squaring arm do while I size the board?
It gives the board an edge to register against. Check the squareness of the first blank before cutting a batch.
Does the Classic kit cover 8-ply bevel cutting?
Choose an Elite or another setup documented for 8-ply if that is part of your work.
