Bevel Type Selection

V-Grooves

  • Select the desired V-Groove type from the dropdown control. 

Note that the OutGroove (outside cut of the V-Groove) and InGroove (inside cut of the V-Groove) bevels cannot be saved with the design, so the design must be taken directly to the Cutting Preview after tracing it.

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 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. The matboard is sliced halfway through the thickness and the core is visible from the front.

First Cut: Cuts the Interior cut into the Fallout Clockwise.

Second Cut: Cuts the Exterior cut into the Matboard Counter-Clockwise.

Select V-Groove from the Current Bevel Type dropdown control to edit this configuration.

Drops

  • Select the desired Drop type from the dropdown control. 

The Normal Bevel Drop is created by cutting into the fallout surface with the blade angled at 45°/52°, thereby slanting the bevel away from the fallout surface. The matboard core is visible from the front.

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.

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.

Select Normal Drop or Normal Drop-Front of Mat from the Current Bevel Type dropdown control to edit this configuration.
