Review on πŸ–ΌοΈ Efficient Picture Framing Dust Cover Trimmer: Logan Graphic Products F60 by Heather Shaw

Reviewed by a professional picture framer

This product is suitable for those who only occasionally frame pictures. Otherwise this cutter is a bit clunky, clunky and not as practical as it should be. The most off-putting feature is the single blade, which is designed for left- or right-handed users. The guard must be removed each time you want to cross to the other side. If they literally lengthened this tool by 1/16 inch, it would fit 2 blades. I use both hands - this saves me from lifting and turning the frame more than necessary. The awkward shape of it makes me feel like I'm putting my finger too close to the blade every time I pick it up again. Its design also allows it to fuse with other tools, making it easier to accidentally cut yourself when reaching for other things. I recommend the BRIGHT Red Plastic Cutter which holds 2 blades at once. If the blades begin to dull when changing hands, remove the guards and reposition the blades to expose the unused corners. You double the use of each blade without changing them as often. Amazon doesn't carry these for some reason. Just google "conventional dust cover trimmer" and you can easily find it. It's much more comfortable to hold; It's very light, fits in the palm of your hand and feels a lot more natural when you choose an angle, unlike the Logan cutter where you have to hold it tight, while awkwardly squeezing its odd shape. his heavy butt makes me feel like I'll keep dropping it. It looks and feels like it's just extra scrap crafted from their other tools. The biggest downside (for pros) of the Logan cutter is the fold-down length of metal under the blade. It's 1/8 inch longer than it should be. This cutter CANNOT cut the backing for MOST folded frames as the blade will not reach the metal in the way. The red blades are shorter at the bottom, allowing you to cut through any folded frame. I find it odd that Logan designed such a poorly thought out tool. When I first bought it I had to put it aside and just cut, while holding the blade between my fingers (at an angle to the edge/corner of the blade). frame) because I had to work on a composite frame. I couldn't help but laugh at how much of a joke that was. like it's just extra scrap from their other tools.
