CHOOSING A BEVEL
Today there are many more styles of bevels available. We still offer a standard Helmold
bevel of 60°, but our new 2 pt. shaved edge rule with a more acute angle of 53° or 42° (available in center face and center face long bevel style) requires less pressure when diecutting.

We offer the following styles:
- CFB - Center Face Bevel
which is located in the center of the rule thickness
- CFLB - Center Face Long Bevel
which is used to help minimize press pressure when cutting thick material
- FB - Flush Bevel
- MBB - Minimum Back Bevel
- SFB - Side Face Bevel
which is located close to one side
- SFLB - Side Face Long Bevel
also used to minimize press pressure when cutting thick material, this bevel creates a cleaner cut with less crush on the finished material.
