Bevel Cutting Mat Openings Using Two Rail Stops
(Production Cutting)
EXAMPLE: Cutting a mat with a 2” border.
NOTE:
This method should only be used when cutting multiple numbers of
mats that have the same outside and inside dimensions.
1. Set the mat guide to the desired border width. For example, for a 2”
border, align the front of the mat guide at the 2” mark and tighten the
black knobs
(Fig. 14)
.
2. Place the mat to be cut into the machine colored side down with the
slip sheet underneath and lower the guide rail
(Fig. 15)
.
3. Using a pencil, mark a line along the full length of the matboard
using the guide rail as a guide
(Fig. 16)
. Turn the mat 1/4 turn to
the right before cutting.
4. Install or slide the top guide rail stop onto the guide rail and slide it
past the far end of the matboard but do not tighten it.
5. Install or slide the bottom guide rail stop onto the guide rail and
tighten at the 2” mark on the guide rail scale
(Fig. 19)
.
6. Hook the bevel cutting head onto the guide rail and slide up until the start &
stop indicator lines up with the marked line closest to the top of the machine.
7. Slide the top guide rail stop towards you until it makes contact against
the bevel cutting head and tighten
(Fig. 21)
.
8. Both guide rail stops are now set to make repeated opposite side cuts
on a multiple number of mats of the same size. To then cut the other
side of the mats, reset the top stop as you did in step 6. and cut the
remaining sides.
