45 Degree Front Reverse Bevel Open V-Groove

  • The 45° Front Reverse Bevel Open V-Groove involves two symmetrical cuts from the front: one in the fallout and a corresponding cut in the matboard, both forming a mirrored arrangement a specified distance apart.

  • The matboard core is not visible but the lower layer matboard is visible 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 Drop is one of the categories within certain opening styles, like the initial section cut of an Open V-Groove. However, it cannot be chosen as a standalone bevel type within Designer.
