90 Degree Opening Definition

Expand
title90° Normal Bevel Opening Full Definition

The 90° Bevel Opening is created by cutting a 90° Right Angle into the matboard.

The matboard core is hidden from view since there is no Bevel when cutting at a 90° Right Angle.

The Bevel Type refers to the angle at which the blade cuts the surface of the matboard when it deviates from the 90° right angle cut.

The Bevel Type for the 90° openings is the form of opening cut and determines the initial blade plunge position.

Select Normal Bevel or Normal Bevel-Front of Mat from the Current Bevel Type dropdown control to edit this configuration.

Expand
titleWhen Cutting from the Front

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

  • On the Configurations screen the Current Bevel Type dropdown control will display the bevel types in this manner:

    • Cut from the Back bevel type names will be displayed with no further label; i.e., Normal Bevel.

    • Cut from the Front bevel type names will be displayed with a Front label; i.e., Normal Bevel-Front of Mat.

    • V-Grooves have their own selection on the list.

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.

titleDepth Bias Definition
The Depth Bias is used to calculate the properBlade Depth when the SKUselected for the matboard contains the Matboard Thickness.

The formula is: [(Default Depth) - 10]

For example, if the normal Blade Depth for 4-ply is 11, then 11-10=1, so enter 1 for the Depth Bias.
