Bevel Type Definition | |
|---|---|
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.
| |
Examples: | |
Normal Bevel
The Normal Bevel Opening is created by cutting into the matboard surface with the blade angled at 45°/52°, thereby slanting the bevel away from the matboard surface. The matboard core is visible from the front. 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. | |
Reverse Bevel
The Reverse Bevel Opening is created by cutting into the matboard surface with the blade angled at 45°/52°, thereby slanting the bevel under the matboard surface. The matboard core is not visible from the front. 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. | |
Normal Drop
The Normal Bevel Drop is created by cutting into the fallout surface with the blade angled at 45°/52°, 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. | |
Reverse Drop
The Reverse Bevel Drop is created by cutting into the fallout surface with the blade angled at 45°/52°, thereby slanting the bevel under the fallout surface. The matboard core is not 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. | |
90° Straight Cut “Bevel”
A 90° Cartridge cuts a 90° Right Angle into the matboard. The matboard core is not visible from the front. 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. | |
Outside Bevel
The Outside Bevel is created by cutting into the fallout surface with the blade angled at 45°/52°, thereby slanting the bevel under the fallout surface or simply cut at 90°. The matboard core is not visible from the front. 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. | |
Closed V-Groove
The Normal Bevel Closed V-Groove involves two symmetrical cuts: one in the matboard and a corresponding cut in the fallout, both forming a mirrored arrangement. The matboard is sliced halfway through the thickness and the core is visible from the front. First Cut: Cuts the Interior cut into the Fallout Clockwise. Second Cut: Cuts the Exterior cut into the Matboard Counter-Clockwise. | |
Normal Bevel Open V-Groove
The 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. 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 Bevel Type determines the initial blade plunge position. 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. 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. | |
Reverse Bevel Open V-Groove
The Reverse Bevel Open V-Groove involves two symmetrical cuts: one in the fallout and a corresponding cut in the matboard, both forming a mirrored arrangement a specified distance apart. The matboard core is not visible but the lower layer matboard is visible from the front. 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 Bevel Type determines the initial blade plunge position. 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. First Cut: Cuts the Interior cut into the Fallout Clockwise: Reverse Bevel Drop. Second Cut: Cuts the Exterior cut into the Matboard Counter-Clockwise: Reverse Bevel Opening. | |
90° Open V-Groove
The 90° Open V-Groove involves two symmetrical cuts: one in the fallout and a corresponding cut in the matboard, both forming a mirrored arrangement a specified distance apart. The matboard core is hidden from view since there is no Bevel when cutting at a 90° Right Angle, but the lower layer matboard is visible from the front. 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 Bevel Type for the 90° openings is the form of opening cut and determines the initial blade plunge position. 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. First Cut: Cuts the Interior cut into the Fallout Clockwise: 90 Degree Bevel Drop. Second Cut: Cuts the Exterior cut into the Matboard Counter-Clockwise: 90 Degree Bevel Opening. | |
