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.

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.

• A Twisted Corner is when the blade turns before retracting from the matboard, which tears the matboard and twists the corner.

• This is especially visible from the back of the mat.

• Check to make sure the Rotation hasn't been set to a high number. 

• Twisted corners can also be a symptom of oil/water in the Air Valve, or an issue with the Head.

• Check the Air Regulator for excess water.

• Use the Clean the Footblock procedure for cleaning the Footblock.
