The V-Groove Exterior Overcut (red arrow) is where the cut continues into the corner before retracting the blade from the matboard on the outside cut of the V-Groove.

Exterior Cuts cut into the matboard, not the fallout of the V-Groove.

The inside of the V-Groove cuts first in a clockwise direction. These are internal cuts, which cut into the V-Groove fallout.

The outside of the V-Groove cuts second in a counter-clockwise direction. These are external cuts, which cut into the matboard.

The Exterior Overcut is part of the second pass.
