45 Degree Plus Normal Bevel Closed V-Groove

  • A 45°+ Normal Bevel Closed V-Groove involves two symmetrical cuts: one in the matboard and a corresponding cut in the fallout, both forming a mirrored arrangement in the thicker matboard.

  • The matboard is cut halfway through its thickness, revealing the core 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.

  • The Blade Depth must be above 16 in order for the CMC to prompt for the 45°+ Cartridge.
