    Logan Graphics Compact Classic Versatile Portable Mat Cutter Model 301-1

    The Logan Graphics 301-1 Mat Cutter is tough enough to cut thick papers, long enough to cut papers up to 2.5 feet, and compact enough not to take up your entire work table. It cuts wrapping paper with the same precision it does thick papers. In the package, you get a cutting board, a bevel cutter, a mat guide, straight cut knife, and a user guide.

    What Consumers are Saying

    According to consumers, this mat cutter is ideal for home use as it is for professional use. You can use it to cut standard-sized photos and custom shapes. The cutter is easy to use and highly portable when you need a unit you can carry from home to your studio.

    Pros
    • Offers large capacity cutting
    • Infinite cutting length
    • Highly portable and durable
    • Easy to use for beginners and intermediates
    • Versatile use
    Cons
    • Only uses Logan 270 blades

    Conclusion

    If you are starting in business and need professional mat cutters, this might be a great choice.

    Education

    Why do you need a mat cutter?

    The answer to this question will determine the right type of mat cutter for you. For starters, consider the amount of time you need to spend learning because the learning curve does not reduce with price. Again, you do not want to break your bank for a cutter you will only use for a few DIY projects at home.

    Mat cutters cost between a meager $10 and a whopping $400. For this reason, you need to be careful when shopping for mat cutting tools.

    Factors to Consider When Buying the Best Mat Cutters

    Guided Cutting

    Logan Graphics Compact Classic Versatile Portable Mat Cutter Model 301-1A mat knife, coupled with guides, gives you perfect results every time. Guides are standard on paper trimmers, allowing you to cut accurately. If the device does not have guides, it should have a start-stop indicator to avoid overcuts and give you more accuracy.

    These features are great on straight mat cutters. Handheld rotary cutters might lack these features, but they are great when you need to cut shapes.

    The Use

    Do you need a paper trimmer, fabric cutter, or a mat board cutter?

    If you need a mat cutter for office papers, coupons, and cards, a paper trimmer with guides will work the best. If you need to cut upholstery, leather, vinyl, felt, fleece, papers, and so many more, a rotary cutter with a large wheel comes in handy.

    Rotary mat cutters are also great when you need to cut shapes, pinked, and wavy edges. If you need to cut matboards and foamboards, choose a heavy-duty metallic mat board cutter.

    When picking a device, consider one whose cutting capability matches the speed you need at the office or workshop. For instance, a business office can use a paper trimmer that cuts multiple sheets at once.

    Quality Construction

    Olfa Deluxe Rotary Cutter (60mm)Portable mat cutters sport aluminum or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic construction. A plastic construction is lighter, but less durable.

    However, the ABS plastic is more durable than any other form of plastic. Aluminum is lighter than other metals; it is durable, but is relatively expensive.

    Most cutters have carbide steel blades. These are very sharp and strong, and they retain their edge for long. A coated blade is better than a non-coated blade as it experiences less friction and consequently, less wear.

    Consider the ergonomic construction of the handle. A rubberized handle with grooves or curved loop is better at eliminating hand fatigue.

    Safety Features

    Because no one wants to end up with injured fingers, ensure you pick a device with hidden blades or one where the blade retracts after use. The safety features should not compromise the efficiency of the device.

    For your home projects, you may also need high-quality scissors and staplers.

    Mat Cutter FAQ

    How do you adjust the blade depth on Logan mat cutters?

    Different Logan mat cutters present different ways to adjust the blade. On most, you need to loosen the blade holding screw and adjust the blade adjustment knob. On others, such as the Logan Log2000, you only need to move the knob at the bottom of the unit clockwise or counterclockwise.

    Should you sharpen or replace blades?

    Heavy duty blades should be sharpened for a while before replacement. Light blades such as those on the WorkLion Portable Paper Trimmer require replacement. Some blades are self-sharpening and only require replacement after a while.

    How does blade coating help?

    Coated blades experience less friction and, therefore, less wear. The blades last longer with superior edge retention.

    Conclusion

    The Logan Graphics 301-1 Compact Classic Portable Mat Cutter is my favorite paper cutter. It is versatile, easy to use, safe, and gives smooth and accurate cuts. You can use it at the office, at home, and matting and framing shop.

    If this is out of your budget or you need a more versatile mat cutter, consider the Fiskars Classic Loop Rotary Cutter. It is a simple device, but it cuts so many materials with its 45mm blade. You can use it to cut leather, suede, upholstery, papers, wool, and felt, among others. It is also an ideal best mat cutter when you need shapes.
