- dani.simmonds
Interior Backup on V-Grooves | |
|---|---|
The V-Groove Interior Backup (black arrow) is where the blade backs up before initially plunging into the fallout on the inside cut of the V-Groove. Interior Cuts cut into the fallout of the V-Groove, not the matboard. |  The Interior Backup Field Controls Where the Blade Backs up Before Plunging into the Fallout on the Interior Cut of the Non-Oval V-Groove |
Current V-Groove Bevel Type | |
|---|---|
Select the desired Cartridge Tab and then the V-Groove bevel type from the Current Bevel Type dropdown control before making adjustments.
|  Select the Desired Bevel Type From the Bevel Type Dropdown Control |
Black Arrow on the Configuration Map | |
|---|---|
The V-Groove Interior Backup, which is part of the inside cut of the V-Groove, is displayed on the V-Groove Configuration Map and on the associated field as a black arrow. | |
Check against the Configuration Map of the V-Groove you are cutting to determine specifically which cuts are the Interior Backups. | |
Interior Cuts cut into the fallout of the V-Groove, not the matboard. | |
V-Groove Cut Direction and Cut Order | |
|---|---|
The inside of the V-Groove cuts first in a clockwise direction. These are internal cuts, which cut into the V-Groove fallout. The outside of the V-Groove cuts second in a counter-clockwise direction. These are external cuts, which cut into the matboard. The Interior Backup is part of the first pass. | |
V-Groove Interior Backup too Long | |
|---|---|
This is viewed from the front of the mat. If the Interior Backup plunges the blade too soon, it makes the interior backup too long on the inside cut of the V-Groove. | |
Decrease the Interior Backup. | |
The corners will now meet up properly. | |
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. | |
V-Groove Interior Backup too Short | |
|---|---|
This is viewed from the front of the mat. If the Interior Backup plunges the blade too late, it makes the interior backup too short on the inside cut of the V-Groove. | |
Increase the Interior Backup. | |
The corners will now meet up properly. | |
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. | |
V-Groove Exterior Backup | |
|---|---|
This is viewed from the front of the mat. For an Exterior Backup where the blade plunges into the matboard instead of the fallout of the V-Groove, see V-Groove Exterior Backup. | |
