45 Degree Normal Bevel Drop Definition
| title | 45° Normal Bevel Drop Full Definition |
|---|
The 45° Normal Bevel Drop is created by cutting into the fallout surface with the blade angled at 45°, thereby slanting the bevel away from the fallout surface. The matboard core is visible from the front.
The Drop is one of the categories within certain opening styles, like the initial section cut of an Open V-Groove. However, it cannot be chosen as a standalone bevel type within Designer.
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 45° Normal Bevel Open V-Groove involves two symmetrical cuts: one in the matboard and a corresponding cut in the fallout, both forming a mirrored arrangement a specified distance apart. Both the matboard core and the lower layer matboard are visible from the front.
First Cut: Cuts the Interior cut into the Fallout Clockwise: Normal Bevel Drop*.
Second Cut: Cuts the Exterior cut into the Matboard Counter-Clockwise: Normal Bevel Opening.

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

| title | Depth Bias Definition |
|---|
If the Blade Depth is cut Too Deep, Decrease the Depth Bias.
If the Blade Depth is cut Too Shallow, Increase the Depth Bias.
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.
