Logan Mount Cutter

Mount-boards have always been part of the essential accessories for Graphic Designers

, Architects, photographers and even artists or illustrators. The mount-boards are used, among others things, for professional and impressive final presentation of works be-it graphic designs, illustrations, photographs and even for sales presentations as used by marketing professionals.

The process of using mount-boards by artists was straightforward before because all they had to do was place the artwork or illustration on the mount-board with extra spaces around the piece. While photographers use the window mounting method! The window mounting method is a process of mounting pictures in sandwiched boards. Meaning two mount-boards are cut to size, with extra spaces around the photograph. The photograph is placed on one of the mount-boards, while a window is cut into the other mount-board to reveal the picture when placed on top of the photograph. This window mounting method eventually became the norm for mounting any project because of its professional and prcised presentation style, albeit not easy or cheap. In fact, the process got so technical that it required trained professional framers to do it in ways that will properly showcase the creative jobs appropriately.

However, the advent of cutters, like Logan Mount Cutters, changed everything, making cutting mount-boards less of a challenge because of the precision and accuracy required. Mount cutters make the mounting process much more affordable whilst making the practise much more common for presentations of all forms of creative projects. Mount cutters also give every creative individual the easier choice and opportunity to develop the skills needed for mount cutting, especially as manufacturers like Logan introduced Logan Complete Mount Cutting Kit. These kits come in packages that include basic cutter, retractable blade, straight edge guide and even spare blades. The do-it-yourself mounting process means any creative professionals dont have to get standard size mounts, which are often the wrong size that would compromise the finished projects and their presentations.

Mount Cutters can be either freestyle hand-held or tabletop. Hand-held is obviously cheaper than the tabletop, which invariably affects the cutting quality. However, tabletop mount cutters come in various sizes, depending on the size of mount boards, projects and or budgets. Whatever the case may be, a good tabletop mount cutter must have vertical cutter to cut the outside part of the mount board and at the same time equipped with the mechanism to square the board. Using mount cutters means you should be able to alter the depth to suit the thickness of your mount board for better effect. And the mount cutter must also come equipped with onboard marking facility to avoid you manually marking the underside of the mount board with pencil as it used to be without mount cutter.

If budget permits, blades come in different quality and the higher the quality the better they cut and the longer the blades last. The cost of Mount Cutters also increases when expecting higher quality in bevel-edge window mounts. Cheaper Mount Cutters have a tendency to produce ragged edge whilst involving more effort without the guarantee of superior finishing. Logan has a range of Mount Cutters for various needs and budgets: from simple Models 424, 440 and 301-1 to high-end cutters like Models 450-1, 750 to 655. Therefore, as budget permits, you can add bevel-edge cutting medium not only for producing superior cuttings but to also make the blade last longer. With even more money to invest, you can get a mount cutter designed specifically for either right-handed user or left-handed users.
