45 Degree Reverse Bevel Opening Definition |
|---|
The 45° Reverse Bevel Opening is created by cutting into the matboard surface with the blade angled at 45°, thereby slanting the bevel under the matboard surface. The matboard core is not 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. Select Reverse Bevel or Reverse Bevel-Front of Mat from the Current Bevel Type dropdown control to edit this configuration. Cutting from the Front will cut with the face of the mat toward the operator, and can be selected on the Cutting Preview. Configurations cut from the Back will only display the bevel type name with no further label; i.e., Normal Bevel. 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. |

|---|---|
The Depth Bias is used to calculate the proper Blade Depth when the SKU selected for the matboard contains the Matboard Thickness. If the Blade Depth is cut Too Deep, Decrease the Depth Bias. If the Blade Depth is cut Too Shallow, Increase the Depth Bias. The formula is: [(Default Depth) - 10] For example, if the normal Blade Depth for 4-ply is 11, then 11-10=1, so enter 1 for the Depth Bias. See: Depth Bias | |
