Cartridges Involved

This Configuration element involves the following Cartridges.

Current Bevel Type
Select the desired Cartridge Type Tab. Select the desired bevel type from the Current Bevel Type dropdown control. Select Current Bevel Type-Front of Mat if it is being cut from the front of the mat.

The beginning of the cut swoops toward the non-oval Outside.

Increase the Rotation. Adjust until the object cuts without a Swoop/Flare.

When making adjustments, click the plus or minus button at the end of the desired field about four times.
In Rotation, eight points equals one degree of rotation. Users usually make adjustments four points at a time.
Click OK and do another test cut.
Check the results of the cut and continue making adjustments until the desired outcome is achieved.

A Twisted Corner is when the blade turns before retracting from the matboard, which tears the matboard and twists the corner.
This is especially visible from the back of the mat.

Check to make sure the Rotation hasn't been set to a high number.
Twisted corners can also be a symptom of oil/water in the Air Valve, or an issue with the Head.
Check the Air Regulator for excess water.
Use the Clean the Foot Block procedure for cleaning the foot block.
