Logan F400-1 Picture Framing Fitting Tool - Clearance Sale

The Logan Fitting Tool is a handy device used to drive various points into the rabbet of a wooden frame to secure the glass, artwork, and backing for framed art. It features a unique rotating turret that will drive four different types of points, including flexible, rigid, Brad nails, and multipoints. It also features a drive lever, an adjustable foot that squeezes points into the rabbet of a wooden frame.

Now let’s talk about different point types. There are flexible points which can be driven and then bent up to replace artwork at a later date. There are Brad nails which traditionally have been used to mount stretched canvas paintings. There are multipoints which can also be used on stretched canvas paintings and allow the frame and stretcher bar to be screwed together.

And finally, the traditional rigid point can be used for hard wood frames.

Before using the fitting tool, you’ll first have to assemble your frame. Let’s take a look at the process that is involved with framing artwork. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the glass. Place the clean glass on the matted artwork. Then place the frame over the glass. Finally, flip the frame over and you’re ready to use the fitting tool to hold everything in place. Drive points 1 to 2 inches away from the corners and roughly 4 to 5 inches apart on the sides. To load a point, select the point type you are using on the rotating turret. Slide the adjustable foot away from the turret, insert a single point into the turret, and you’re ready to drive the point. Position the tip of the point on the inside of the frame rabbet and adjust the foot to squeeze against the outside of the frame. Squeeze the lever completely to drive the point in and then release the lever. Release the adjustable foot and twist it 90 degrees so the tool can be pulled flat and backwards away from the rabbet, leaving the point in the frame.
