52 Degree Outside Definition |
|---|
The 52° Outside is created by cutting into the fallout surface with the blade angled at 52°, thereby slanting the bevel under the fallout 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. The Bevel Type determines the initial blade plunge position. Select Outside or Outside-Front of Mat from the Current Bevel Type dropdown control to edit this configuration. Cutting from the Front will cut with the face of the mat toward the operator, and can be selected on the Cutting Preview.
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. |
52 Degree Outside Cuts the Wrong Depth When Using a SKU | |
|---|---|
The Depth Bias is used to calculate the proper Blade Depth when the SKU selected for the matboard contains the Matboard Thickness. If the Blade Depth is cut Too Deep, Decrease the Depth Bias. If the Blade Depth is cut Too Shallow, Increase the Depth Bias. The formula is: [(Default Depth) - 10] For example, if the normal Blade Depth for 4-ply is 11, then 11-10=1, so enter 1 for the Depth Bias. See: Depth Bias | |
