FRAMER'S
EDGE
MAT CUTTER
MODELS 650, 655 & 660
A. Blade Depth Adjustment - Bevel Cutter
NOTE: The depth setting of your Framer’s Edge is pre-set to cut U.S. Standard thickness
mat board. (.055” or 2.2mm)
To adjust the blade depth on the bevel cut, use the screwdriver provided and turn the
screwdriver in the slotted screw on the cutting head as shown. To decrease depth of the
bevel blade, turn the screw clockwise into the cutting head. To increase the depth of the
bevel blade, turn the screw counter-clockwise out of the cutting head.
Fig 1
It is always ideal to have just enough blade depth to slice through the mat you are
cutting and score slightly into the backing sheet. Extra blade depth can allow the blade
to flex resulting in hooks or curves in the cut. Extra blade depth can also cause the
blade to start its cut sooner and stop its cut later than needed resulting in overcuts.
B. Blade Depth Adjustment to Cut 8-Ply Matboard
1. First remove the blade from the bevel blade holder.
2. Using the screwdriver supplied, tighten the small screw on the bevel blade holder
marked "8-ply setting"
.(Fig A)
3. Insert Logan 268 8-Ply Blade. Notice the blade has a bevel on only one edge. Be
careful to insert blade so bevel shows. Re-tighten the blade holding screw.
Note: #268 blade can only be used on one corner, bevel edge showing. It will not
operate properly installed with the opposite edge showing.

C. Blade Tip Adjustment
If curves in your bevel cut become a problem, it may warrant an adjustment to the blade
tip. At the end of the bevel blade holder nearest the tip of the blade you will find a
small blade tip adjustment screw. When adjusted this screw will put more pressure
against the blade tip causing it to ride closer to the cutting bar.
(Fig 2)
Do not turn this screw until you inspect the position of the blade tip in relation
to the edge of the cutting bar.
Ideally, the blade tip should just glide against the edge of the bar when activated. Raise
the handle bar and inspect this relationship by pivoting the blade holder down and
watching the blade tip as it passes by the edge of the cutting bar. If the blade tip is just
touching it, do not adjust the screw. If there is too much or too little contact between
the blade tip and the cutting bar then adjust the screw accordingly. Make only slight 1/4
turns on the screw and do test cuts to ensure accuracy.
