I’ve just cut my first oval matte, luckily I had 2 pieces as I got it right second time!
Thanks for the hands on tutorial as I would not have made sense of it from the instruction book alone.😁

I have just bought this cutter, its very good considering I'm a beginner, but not that easy to use, you will need to practice a few times untill your confident, i found that if you dont hold the centre block down firm it has the tendency to lift up making it awkward to realign,but it still makes a nice job.

Does the blade holder suppose to be stable? Mine seems to move alot

[@melbendigo]

Great! Thank you! Is that a 45-degree bevel? I can't find any literature or video that mentions the angle adjustment for the bevel. Thank you!

[@DavidAntalSchummy]

+Meisha Bendigo Yes it is close to a 45 degree bevel. With the Logan machine the angle cannot be varied. I will check it for you. With our computerised cutter the Valiani Libra we are able to cut ovals and any shape with either a 40 degree, 45 degree or 90 degree angle.

Thanks Tina, Glad the video helped. Best regards, David Schummy

The easiest way to mark a centre point is to go from corner to corner diagonally and when they cross thats your centre.

What is the largest oval this cutter can extend to?

[@Endurart]

The largest oval is 508 x 584mm. The Logan Oval and Circle Mat Cutter cuts ovals from 3"x 4-1/2" (76mm x 115mm) up to 20" x 23" (508mm x 584mm) and circles from 4" to 20" (102mm to 508mm). Kind regards, David Schummy

[@ksmithkatcarving]

wouldn't it be easier to just get the shaoe and trace it

[@DavidAntalSchummy]

+k CARVING It is not easy to cut a beveled oval window with a normal knife or scalpel. You could run a knife around a hard template and potentially sandpaper the join where you put the blade in and out. It is far easier to use a tool designed for the task. Best regards, David Schummy

[@PENFOLD1962]

Tooooooooooo expensive for my measly pension, I'll have to go back to the old school method of 2 map pins.... String and a steady scalpel hand.

[@marybraun5760]

Too complicated

IF YOU USE THE FORMULA GIVEN ..... IT DOES NOT WORK
