Rule Bending
Straight rule Bent rule
• Upon bending, the
rear edge of a cutting
rule has the natural
tendency to lift up at
the inside of the bend.
• As a consequence the
effective height of the
rule changes.

• The rounded rear edge

increases the contact

backing plate.
• Plastic deformation of the
backing plate and/or the
rule‘s back edge contribute
low cutting high cutting to evenly distribute the
