Logan Team System Plus Mat Cutters

The Team System Plus suits people who want a guided straightedge, bevel cutting head, and mat knife in a portable setup. It can be a sensible fit for occasional framing, studios with limited space, mobile work, or users moving beyond an unsupported handheld cutter. A board mounted machine becomes more useful when cutting volume is higher, repeated dimensions are common, or built in squaring and production stops are needed. Think about how often the cutter will be used and how much setup time is acceptable. The Team System Plus provides guidance and stability without requiring a permanent bench installation, but consistent measuring and careful board positioning remain important for every opening.

The bevel cutter is intended for the angled window edge normally seen around framed artwork, while the mat knife handles straight cuts and material reduction. Keeping these jobs separate helps preserve the intended edge and makes it easier to control blade depth. Mark the border clearly, keep the rail from moving, and use the cutting head that matches the required finish. Logan mat cutter accessories can support alignment, guidance, and related setup needs when the standard kit does not cover a recurring task. Avoid using the bevel head as a general trimming blade or forcing the mat knife through unsupported material. Each cutting tool performs best when the board is flat, measurements are clear, and the blade follows the rail without twisting.

Use a flat work surface, clean the rubberized base, and support the full board before measuring. Mark the opening from the back of the mat so guide lines do not remain visible on the finished face. Keep the straightedge firmly positioned and make the cut from the marked beginning to the stopping point without lifting or changing angle. Blade depth should match the material, and a scrap piece underneath can protect the bench while supporting a complete cut. For repeated sizes, create a written measurement routine rather than relying on memory. Accuracy improves when the same sequence is followed every time: square the board, mark the borders, secure the guide, confirm the blade, and cut with even pressure.

Keep a record of the blade reference used by the cutting heads and replace blades when edges begin to tear, hook, or require extra pressure. It is also worth identifying any guide, straight cutting, acrylic cutting, or measuring tools that may be needed for future work. The wider Logan mat cutters range shows how the Team System Plus fits alongside handheld tools, board mounted equipment, blades, and supporting accessories. This can help when the workload grows or the materials become more varied. Avoid buying accessories simply because they fit the brand. Each addition should address a regular task, improve alignment, support another material, or reduce interruptions caused by worn supplies.
