Inside Rotation (V-Groove): FrameShop Configurations Screen

Adjust the Inside Rotation if you are getting Swoops or Flares in the corners of a non-oval V-Groove.

The Inside Rotation controls how much the foot block will rotate before cutting the outside of the V-Groove.

The inside cuts of the V-Groove are Interior cuts, and cut into the V-Groove fallout and not the matboard. They cut on the first pass of the V-Groove, and are cut in a clockwise direction.

If you have too little Inside Rotation on a non-oval V-Groove you will get a Swoop, too much rotation and you will get a Flare. 

The beginning of the inside cut of the V-Groove Swoops toward the non-oval V-Groove opening.

Increase the Inside 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.

The beginning of the inside cut of the V-Groove Flares away from the non-oval V-Groove opening. 

Decrease the Inside 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.
