Backups and Overcuts: FrameShop Configurations Screen

Adjust the Backups and Overcuts to control specifically where the blade plunges into and retracts from the matboard or the fallout when cutting an opening, drop, outside or V-Groove with a bladed cartridge.

Select the desired bevel type from the Current Bevel Type dropdown control before making adjustments. The different Bevel Types, including whether it is cutting from the front or the back of the mat, will determine the direction the head travels as it cuts, and dictates whether the corner is a backup or an overcut.
