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.
