I have used this joiner for over 2 years, and have made over 1500 frames. It works fine if you read the directions, and use the frame vise provided with the unit. Logans customer service is outstanding! I damaged the unit on a couple of occasions, due to using excessive force. I contacted Logan to order replacement parts, and both times yhey sent the parts free of charge! The second time was even beyond the stated warranty period. The level of customer service alone would entice me to purchase Logan products in the future.

1.0 out of 5 stars Is it supposed to help novice framer??? I doubt it ..., May 31, 2006

This review is from: Logan STUDIO JOINER Logan Framing Tool Hardware (Kitchen)

I unsuccessfully framed a couple of picture frames. They came out just fine if it were for a weekend framer who could excuse 1/16" of uneven gap at each corner. The problem occurs when I had to flip entire frame while the corner is unstable. The kit comes with two pieces of spacer that should hold two frames so that the right angle V-shape is held stably. But they are hard to be used beneath the frame in the exact position they need while the joiner it self has such a small base board lacking any support to hold joining two pieces with the correct angle with the joint in the tightest contact. It is very frustrating as I struggled to stabilize the pieces together while I was pushing the V-nails into the frames. It has no suggestion of using frame clamp but the frame clamp to keep 4 pieces together must be used in conjunction of polyurethane glue such as gorilla glue otherwise joined pieces come lose a little. As I flipped the joining frames up side down, I could not see what was going on with the connection of V-nails. That just kills me. That was the gamble I always lost. I would purchase a joiner that does not require flipping a frame up side down. In fact, Logan has a higher line of joiner which offers the function. It also offers longer built in frame support to position two frames in stable places. I have eyes on Bench Master Frame joiner too. Now I have to think of how to get rid of the Studio Joiner. I paid less for this inexpensive model but it did cost me more.

I have used the logan studio joiner Logan STUDIO JOINER Logan Framing Tool Hardwaremany times with excellent results, but not by following their directions or using the worthless vice. The key is to use a strap clamp, and support the work on all sides. For absolutely perfect frames a miter trimmer is the ticket!!. By using the strap clamp you just move the joiner to each corner. No flipping of the frame. The drawback on the logan (either one) is the size limitation of the moulding width. I am going to sell my logan and get the benchmaster with the pushmaster. It will give me the ability to do octagonal frames. The pushmaster can be used independently, meaning moulding width is not an issue.
