Placing Matboard When Cutting from the Front

Info

When the Cutting Preview screen indicates that the current layer is to be cut from the Front of the mat, this also determines how to place the matboard onto the CMC.

  • Have Two Layers of adequate size of disposable matboard under the Mat to be Cut; a Layer can be temporarily removed when cutting thicker matboard.

  • Place the matboard into the left corner of the CMC, making sure that the matboard nestles tightly into the Horizontal and Vertical Clamps.

Cutting

From

from the Front will cut with the face of the mat toward the operator, and can be selected on the Cutting Preview

or by cutting a Cut-From-Front element such as a Deboss or V-Groove.

.

Configurations cut from the Back will only display the bevel type name with no further label; i.e., Normal Bevel.

If you are cutting an element that must be applied to the front of the mat, such as a V-Groove or Pen design, any openings on that layer will also cut from the front and use the Front of Mat configuration item; i.e., Normal Bevel - Front of Mat.

So if you are having problems with a Normal Bevel cut on the same layer as a V-Groove, make sure you select Normal Bevel-Front of Mat to edit the configurations for that opening.

titleBacking Board Definition

The Backing Boards are Two Sheets of matboard placed on the CMC behind the sheet of matboard being cut.

This protects the CMC’s metal surface and helps stabilize the mat being cut.

One sheet can be removed when cutting thicker material if needed.
