What this tool is for

The 650-1 is a 40-inch bench system for cutting standard and thick matboard. Choose it for repeated mat openings when you want movable stops and a guided head for sizing and beveling.

Its key distinction from the 40-inch Simplex Classic is the documented 8-ply bevel setup. You change from the #269 to the #268 for that stock. Plan for the two blade references if the bench handles both kinds of mat.

Questions about this tool

What do the two squaring-arm sizes describe?

They are separate supports for registering the board. The bed’s working capacity is the stated 40 inches.

Can the 8-ply blade stay in place for standard board?

Logan assigns #269 to standard beveling. Follow the manual when switching from the #268 thick-board setting.

When should I set the production stops?

Use a sample of the actual board to confirm your start and end points, then preserve the positions for matching mats.
