Editing the 45 Degree Blade Cartridge Configurations

Editing the 45 Degree Blade Cartridge Configurations

  • The 45° metal black blade cartridge* is designed to cut 45° bevels on standard 4-ply matboard.

  • The 45° metal black blade cartridge is labeled 45° on the end. 

  • Notes:

    • The 45° blade cartridge does not support blade depths above 16.

    • *Older systems may have a 45° plastic black blade cartridge.

 

45 Degree Blade Cartridge and Mat Sample

 

The Configurations Screen is Where to Adjust The Configurations of Bladed or Non-Bladed Cartridges

Cutting from the Front will cut with the face of the mat toward the operator, and can be selected on the Cutting Preview.

  • On the Configurations screen the Current Bevel Type dropdown control will display the bevel types in this manner:

    • Cut from the Back bevel type names will be displayed with no further label; i.e., Normal Bevel.

    • Cut from the Front bevel type names will be displayed with a Front label; i.e., Normal Bevel-Front of Mat.

    • V-Grooves have their own selection on the list.

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.
