In Reply to: Re: Why are [analog] tape edits cut at 45 deg or 60 deg, not 90 deg? posted by Top Jimmy on July 10, 2003 at 14:01:33:
a 45 cut is less likely to separate, as it uses a larger piece of adhesive and an 'easing' effect over the heads rather than presenting a distinct 'bump'. You see the same technique used in the joint splice in high quality sanding belts/drums.
