Rotation on Openings: FrameShop Configurations Screen
- dani.simmonds
Rotation on Openings | |
|---|---|
The Rotation field controls how much the foot block will rotate before cutting. Adjust the Rotation if you are getting Swoops or Flares in the corners on a non-oval opening. If you have too much Rotation on a non-oval opening you will get a Flare, too little rotation and you will get a Swoop. |  Rotation Adjusts for Swoops or Flares in the Corners on a Non-Oval Opening |
Current Bevel Type | |
|---|---|
Select the desired Cartridge Type Tab and then the bevel type you want to edit from the Current Bevel Type dropdown control before making adjustments. Select Current Bevel Type-Front of Mat if it is being cut from the front of the mat. |  Select the Desired Bevel Type From the Bevel Type Dropdown Control |
Degrees of Rotation for Non-Oval Openings | |
|---|---|
In Rotation, eight points equals one degree of rotation. Users usually make adjustments four points at a time. Increase the Rotation to turn the foot block clockwise to correct for a Swoop. Decrease the Rotation to turn the foot block counterclockwise to correct for a Flare. | |
Opening has a Swoop | |
|---|---|
The beginning of the cut swoops toward the non-oval opening. | |
Increase the Rotation. | |
The object will now cut correctly. | |
When making adjustments, click either the minus or plus button (-/+) at the end of the desired field about five or six times in the direction indicated. Click OK and do a test cut. Check the results of the cut and continue making adjustments until the desired outcome is achieved. | |
Opening has a Flare | |
|---|---|
The beginning of the cut flares away from the non-oval opening. | |
Decrease the Rotation. | |
The object will now cut correctly. | |
When making adjustments, click either the minus or plus button (-/+) at the end of the desired field about five or six times in the direction indicated. Click OK and do a test cut. Check the results of the cut and continue making adjustments until the desired outcome is achieved. | |
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. Optionally, see the Clean the Foot Block procedure for information on cleaning the foot block. 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. | |
