Introduction to the Model 703 Simplex
V-Groover
The Logan model 703 Simplex V-Groover uses a unique and innovative
procedure to cut V-Groove mats. It is important to recognize certain prin-
ciples of the procedure before reading the instructions:
1 All V-Grooving is done on the surface of the mat with measuring
stops so there is no need to mark the mat.
2 To ensure proper usage of the cutter, all V-Grooves must be cut
before cutting window with mat cutter.
3 Due to variations in Simplex Mat Cutter calibration, it will probably be
necessary to adjust overcuts on V-Groover until correct.
4 V-Groover will cut 1/2" away from the rail - not next to it as does the
Bevel Head (#702)
5 Always work from end of Simplex machine for easiest operation of V-
Groover.
Preparation for V-Grooving
Installing Blades
1 Start on either side. Loosen upper and lower knurled screws 3 full turns
(Fig. 1).
2 Insert blade into blade holder slot on reverse side of the cover plate, with
the blade point facing the same direction as the design on the cover
plate (Fig. 1 & 2).
Note: If blade hits knurled screw tips, loosen an
additional turn until blade is able to slide into slot easily.
3 Insert the blade so the round end is past the upper knurled screw (Fig. 3).
4 Pull blade top back against upper knurled screw.
5 Next, tighten lower knurled screw.
6 Repeat procedure for the opposite side.
Please Note
The Logan Simplex V-Groover requires a Logan #1258 blade. These
blades are specially ground for use in this V-Groover. No other blades
will work.
