Logan 440-1 40" Mat Cutting System Plus — 3-Position Depth Knife & Push-Style Bevel Cutter

The Logan 440-1 Team Cutting System Plus is a complete 40" straight-edge and push-style bevel mat cutting kit with a three-position depth knife for accurate matting, foam board trimming, and framing prep.

This all-in-one combo brings together a 40-inch ruled straight edge, the Logan 302-1 push-style bevel mat cutter, and an upgraded three-depth handheld mat knife with slip-lock depth control. Designed for hobbyists, designers, and professional framers, the kit lets you mark borders, attach the cutting head and cut clean bevels or straight through cuts on mats up to 3/16" (5 mm) thick. The straight edge features non-slip rubberized backing and US/metric rulings for precise layout work.

How does this system improve accuracy when trimming mats?

The Logan system pairs a long, rigid straight edge with a guided cutting head so you get repeatable, square cuts without chase or wobble. The push-style bevel cutter maintains a consistent angle while the straight edge keeps your line true across the full 40" span.

• 40" (101 cm) straight edge with US and metric markings for exact measurements
• Non-slip rubberized base prevents movement during cuts
• 302-1 push-style bevel cutter holds a steady cutting angle for clean bevels
• Compatible with Logan 270 replacement blades for sharp results

What materials and thicknesses can I cut with the kit?

The included three-position mat knife is adjustable for downsizing and trimming common mat and foamboard thicknesses up to 3/16" (5 mm). Use the bevel cutter for standard matboard bevels and the straight cutter or glass cutter attachments for other straight cuts.

• Clean bevel cuts in standard matboard
• Trim foam board and thinner substrates up to 3/16" (5 mm)
• Interchangeable cutting heads for glass or straight cutting tasks
• Handheld knife with slip-lock depth control for consistent thickness control

How easy is it to use for beginners and in a studio workflow?

The system is built for straightforward setup: mark your border with the ruled straight edge, attach the appropriate cutting head, then push or guide the cutter from line to line. Its design balances precision with a low learning curve, making it useful for single projects or repeated production runs.

• Simple attach-and-cut process—no complex assembly
• Durable straight edge that doubles as a measuring guide
• Slip-lock feature keeps knife depth steady for repeat cuts
• Compact enough for home studios but robust for professional use

What accessories and maintenance should I expect?

Replacement blades (Logan 270) are the primary consumable; keep spares on hand for consistent, clean cuts. The cutter heads are compatible with Logan glass and straight cutters to expand capability, and periodic cleaning prevents residue buildup on the straight edge and rubber base.

• Uses Logan 270 blades—easy to replace for sharp performance
• Compatible with glass cutter and straight cutter attachments
• Wipe straight edge and rubber base to maintain grip and accuracy
• Store blades safely and follow manufacturer blade-change guidance
