V-Groover

Cutting the V-Groove

To make the process faster, it is recommended that both long sides of 
V-Groove are cut first, then both short sides, to eliminate the need to 
re-adjust V-Groove stop 4 separate times.

Cutting Long Sides

1  Install V-Groove cutting head by hooking nylon guides over outer lip of

guide rail.

2  Slide cutting head back toward you against guide rail stop.

3  With left hand, place thumb on V-Groove lever and place index and 

middle fingers on front of base (Fig. 9).

4  With left hand, depress fixed blade lever handle and hold down (Fig. 9).

Note: Be sure opposite blade lever is up or it will tear board surface.

5  Keeping firm downward pressure with both hands, gently push cutting

head toward V-Groove stop until overcut adjustment post contacts stop
scale (Fig. 10).

Do not ram overcut adjustment post into stop scale!

6  Lift fixed blade lever handle up to remove blade. With left hand, depress

adjustable blade lever handle and hold down (Fig. 11). Keeping firm
downward pressure with both hands, pull the cutting head back to the
guide rail stop until overcut adjustment screw contacts the stop.

7  Lift adjustable blade lever handle up to remove blade.

8  Lift guide rail and turn mat 180°. Slide back against squaring arm and

spacer bars (option A) or squaring arm stop (option B) or mat guide
(option B).

9  Lower guide rail onto mat.

Please note: Be sure v-stop foot is resting firmly against mat board
end (as in Fig. 8), and not on top of the mat. Re-adjust if necessary.

10  Repeat procedures 3 thru 7.

Cutting Short Sides

1  Lift guide rail and turn mat 90°. Slide back against squaring arm and

spacer bars (option A) or mat guide (option B)

2  Lower guide rail onto mat.

3  Reset v-stop by loosening stop lock lever and sliding back until v-stop

foot contacts mat board end. Hold block and tighten lever.

4  Repeat the same procedure described earlier to cut long sides.

Please note: As you cut the last side, mat scraps may begin to come
out of the mat. Simply hold them down in mat while cutting or care-
fully tear off 1/4" from corner.
