"Okay. Now we're ready for the beveled cut. And just to make sure we don't have any problems with the cut I'm going to double check the blade and it looks like it's never been used. Make sure you have a sharp blade when you're doing an inner cut for your bevel. You also want to use an old scrap piece of matte board underneath. It makes for a finer cut. But you just place that under the board like so. Lay that matte board in there as so. Line them up. Now on your cutter itself you'll have a line. See it right here? You line up your cutter with the lines that you've drawn. Like right there. The lines I've drawn here. These are what you line up with.

All the way to the next line. Just like that."
