  • The 90° Open V-Groove involves two symmetrical cuts: one in the fallout and a corresponding cut in the matboard, both forming a mirrored arrangement a specified distance apart.

  • The matboard core is hidden from view since there is no Bevel when cutting at a 90° Right Angle, 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 for the 90° openings is the form of opening cut and 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.
