in fig2 the drywall bead press 10 includes a blade 26 with a sharpened edge 28 a reference plane of the anvil 20 is defined as including the centerline of screw 22 and passing through the centroid of the anvil 20 the angle formed between the plane of the blade 26 and the reference plane of the anvil 20 determines the angle at which the drywall bead will be cut 0020 fig3 is an exploded view of the drywall bead press 10 as shown in fig3 the fixed handle 14 and base 12 may be combined into a single component in an alternative embodiment the fixed handle 14 may be a separate component and attached to the base 12 the base 12 includes a guide channel 30 into which the blade 26 is inserted the blade 26 has a toothed edge 32 and a slot 34 running parallel to the toothed edge 32 during assembly the blade 26 is inserted into guide channel 30 and retained in the base 12 by stabilizer screws 40 the stabilizer screws 40 pass through the base 12 and engage the blade 26 by passing through slot 34 the stabilizer screws 40 are secured in position by nuts 42 the blade 26 is readily replaceable if it becomes dulled with use by removing stabilizer screws 40 removing the old blade 26 and inserting a new blade 26 and reinstalling stabilizer screws 40 as further shown in fig3 the anvil 20 has a shaped upper surface 24.
