Rotation on the Outsides

  • If the Outside has a Swoop, Increase the Rotation.

  • If the Outside has a Flare, Decrease the Rotation.

 How to Select the Bevel Type to Edit

Select desired Cartridge Tab. 

Select the desired Bevel Type from Current Bevel Type.

Edit the desired Configuration field.

 Cut from Front Full Definition

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.

Twisted Corner

  • 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. 

 Twisted Corner Definition

A Twisted Corner is when the Blade Rotates before fully Retracting from the matboard, which tears the matboard and twists the corner.

This is especially visible from the back of the mat.

The FootBlock may become clogged with matboard debris over time, keeping it from plunging/retracting properly. See the Clean the Footblock procedure for instructions on cleaning it. 

Check to make sure the Rotation hasn't been set to too 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.
