Questions & Answers

What is the relationship between oak frames and it?

Thanks for stopping by, Fred. Oak as well as all the other woods we have for frames work well with it. It has been the best fitting of all the ways we've tried!

Upon viewing Logan's website, I noticed it drives 18ga brad nails, but it doesn't mention the nail length. Can you explain this?

As long as the nails are handled carefully, you can choose any 19 ga. nails length you want. There are a few things you have to be aware of when over-eating You can bend the brads by leveraging them and bending them.

Could you please tell me the model number?

It is the Logan F400-class aircraft.

Selected User Reviews For Logan Pro-Framing F400-1 Fitting Tool

The glazing points (the kinds with the right angle "wings" that make them easy to insert) and the stiff pu have been my favorites for years
3/5

Due to the fact that I have been making frames for over 40 years, I am very knowledgeable about how to hold the backing material(s). Years ago, I used glazing points (the ones that have little right-angled "wings" that make insertion easy) and a stiff putty knife. That way, I could control the angle of the point as I worked. You can drive those points so that the wings are quite flush to the inside of the frame, and if you need to remove one, they can be removed with the same putty knife. I have yet to find a tool that I liked, and this one does not disappoint. Though the quality is marginal, the tool is not too expensive, and it does the job as expected. However, several problems plague it, including 1) You don't have much control over the depth of where the "point" sits in the tool (I think it's excessive). There are a variety of ways to medicate the situation, but the design in general is not the best. 2) it is impossible to get the point parallel to the backing material when it is pressed This tends to crush the edges of the backing material as a result. It bothers me however even though I'm not sure whether it is necessarily a significant issue. 2) Although hard frame materials should work, I am not sure if the tool will. It was not trivial to bend and twist the tool a few times as it was driven in. So far I have been using it on pine frames. To conclude, I was cautious about applying too much force to the squeeze. It's time to go back to the old, manual way of doing things.

I couldn't have asked for anything better! For what I need, I do not need anything more fancy
5/5

A perfect translation! As I was putting my own art and photos into old frames that I got from thrift stores, I was able to collect a bunch of old frames. The only way I could find to repurpose frames like these for an affordable price was to do it this way. My brad nails (about 34 inches) and the flexible points came with the package were already the right size, so I didn't have to get new ones. Approximately 1/3 of the flexible points are too far into the tool, so the driver is not able to drive the point deep enough into the frames. I agree with another reviewer who said the flexible points sit far into the tool. The software isn't perfect, but it is still good enough to do most tasks. This aluminum foil folding technique might be worth a try for me. However, my initial reaction to this tool is nothing less than ecstatic. As I found out rather quickly that the points supplied with the tool were not enough, I bought a box of Logan brand flexible points to use in the frames that I may be changing quite frequently. The weight and size of the frame may need to be adjusted If you want to use brads, you should.

The program works fine
5/5

The program does what it is supposed to do. Deftly inserts little, Fergit about it) much easier than pounding tiny nails with a tiny The tabe is hard to pick up because of its small size. It doesn't matter. What more could you ask for? It does the job, so what is there to ask for?.

This is a well-made tool
4/5

The flexible type of metal diamonds I use in picture frames can be inserted with this tool. In that case, it works very well. The width of the frame can be adjusted according to how wide it is. As far as build quality is concerned, I would rate it quite well. haven't been heavily involved in it, but I've used it a few times. In inserting the diamonds into wood of soft to medium hardness, this method often works well. You should file the pointy ends of diamonds before using them on a harder wood like oak so that they are sharp to begin with. The inserts are able to embed into harder wood easier as a result. As a result, I often use flexible diamond punches as they are thinner, can be bent back and forth (at least a few times), and seem to insert more easily.

It is what it is advertised to be
5/5

My shadow boxes were damaged by a broken insert, so I purchased this tool to replace them. I was very pleased with the seller's response. We were not expecting the tool to arrive so soon. There is only one negative about the tool, namely that the lock plate slides when pressure is applied and the foot is able My next step will be to roughen the rod's surface.

This function provides a lot of picture frame fitting points
5/5

We needed to replace our picture frame point installer, since we lent it out and it didn't come back to us. Our old one was metal, but this one is plastic but does a better job of installing points for picture frames The fastener has the ability to be used on picture frames, it is a very nice tool. I'm glad you thought it through.

Tabs can then be shoved into a frame using this tool
5/5

This is a pretty basic and simple exercise. There is nothing springlike about this weather A loaded disk To put it simply, it just helps you stick a tab in a frame at just Nothing to be desired, it simply does what it should. While it is pretty expensive for the value it provides, it tends to be much cheaper than having all your artwork framed by a framing service in the long run.

This product offers versatility and ease of It is much easier and less difficult to use this tool instead of trying to hammer brads or glaziers' points into In addition to the clear instructions provided by the tool, it is also I would describe it as a jazzed version of It is a hand stapler that you load one by one and don't need much strength to operate
5/5

For flexible point inserts, I generally used flexible points. I think about 8 average-sized inserts are in there. (50 inserts are included. This is the size of the The hammer is not used. * Based on my experience with flexible inserts and brads, I find the rigid and multi-part inserts to be more effective The next step should be easy too, inserting point figures. I'm so glad that the glass and artwork in the frames are staying in place after all. I love it!.
