Suedette Board

Post by misterdiy »

I have ust had a job in that needs a suedette mount with a bevel aperture. Cutting it is fine on my CMC but it leaves tramlines from the cutter roller around the cut-out. As I can't cut the bevel from the back, is there any way that the tramlines can be removed? Any help gratefully recieved

The reason we couldn't cut from the back was the spring in the board. We have a vacuum bed and it was springing up - even with masking tape to hold it down. Hence top cut.

Thanks Steve N, a very useful thread.
