CUTTING A BEVEL EDGED APERTURE
TIP Change your blade regularly. The cost of half a blade (two cutting tips per blade) compared to
matboard is negligible.
The Ultimat has been tested and adjusted to give accurate results on a standard matboard. You may need to
adjust the machine to give accurate cutting if your matboard is of a slightly different thickness to that of the
test mat. Initially, do not worry about border width or over/under cuts we will explain that later.
TO SET THE BLADE firstly remove the blade left in the holder from test cutting.
Slacken the clamping screw.
Pull the ejector back and remove the blade from the back of the holder.
Slide a new blade in from the back of the holder, press it forward against the blade stop.
Fasten the clamping screw.
BLADE DEPTH
Place the slip mat and matboard in the machine as for normal cutting.
Slide the Cutter Head towards the edge of the matboard.
Depress the blade holder fully to penetrate into the slip mat at a point close to the edge of the matboard.
