If the Non-Oval Outside cuts with a Swoop, Increase the Rotation.

If the Non-Oval Outside cuts with a Flare, Decrease the Rotation.

 Swoop Definition

A Swoop in a Non-Oval Outside is where the corners curve inward toward the opening.

If the Non-Oval Outside cuts with a Swoop, Increase the Rotation.

 Flare Definition

A Flare in a Non-Oval Outside is where the corners curve away from the opening.

If the Non-Oval Outside cuts with a Flare, Decrease the Rotation.

Adjusting the Rotation

  • To adjust, click plus/minus on the desired field about five times.

  • Click OK and do another test cut.

  • Continue making adjustments until the desired outcome is achieved.

Current Bevel Type

Outside has a Swoop

Problem:

  • A Swoop in a Non-Oval Outside is where the corners curve inward toward the opening.

Resolution:

  • If the Non-Oval Outside cuts with a Swoop, Increase the Rotation.

Outside has a Flare

Problem:

  • A Flare in a Non-Oval Outside is where the corners curve away from the opening.

Resolution:

  • If the Non-Oval Outside cuts with a Flare, Decrease the Rotation.

Twisted Corner

Problem:

  • 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.

Resolution:

  • 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 Foot Block procedure for cleaning the foot block. 

  • No labels
