Cartridges Involved
This Configuration element involves the following Cartridges.
Note: Not all cartridges are available for all CMC models.
V-Groove Outside has a Flare
The beginning of the outside cut of the V-Groove Flares away from the non-oval V-Groove opening.
Increase the Outside Rotation value.
The object will now cut correctly.
When making adjustments, click either the minus or plus button (-/+) at the end of the desired field about five or six times in the direction indicated.
Click OK and do a test cut.
Check the results of the cut and continue making adjustments until the desired outcome is achieved.
V-Groove Inside Rotation
Select this topic to see information on the Inside Rotation (V-Groove) to adjust the rotation for the inside cut of the non-oval V-Groove.
Outside Rotation on V-Grooves | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Adjust the Outside Rotation if you are getting Swoops or Flares in the corners of a non-oval V-Groove.
The Outside Rotation controls how much the foot block will rotate before cutting the outside of the V-Groove.
The outside cuts of the V-Groove are Exterior cuts, and cut into the matboard and not the V-Groove fallout.
They cut on the second pass of the V-Groove, and are cut in a counterclockwise direction.
If you have too much Outside Rotation on a non-oval V-Groove you will get a Swoop, too little rotation and you will get a Flare.
V-Groove Outside has a Swoop
The beginning of the outside cut of the V-Groove Swoops toward the non-oval V-Groove opening.
Decrease the Outside Rotation.
The object will now cut correctly.
When making adjustments, click either the minus or plus button (-/+) at the end of the desired field about five or six times in the direction indicated.
Click OK and do a test cut.
Check the results of the cut and continue making adjustments until the desired outcome is achieved.
