General Guide Regarding Cutting
Conditions
A general guide for cutting conditions and the service life of the blade for different
combinations of materials and blades is given below.
Note that optimal cutting is not necessarily obtained simply by conforming to the
conditions below. Perform a cutting test in advance to adjust the conditions.
(For instructions on performing a cutting test, refer to
Notice：Use the blade which suit material
There is a risk of damage to blade when you cut unspecified sheet because of compatibility
between blade and sheet. Use the optimal blade for cutting to sheet material.

* The faster the cutting speed, the worse the image quality, so you have to adjust the
speed to match the required image quality.
If uncut areas remain even when the blade force is increased by more
than 50 to 60 gf, the blade has most likely reached the end of its service
life.
Replace it with a new blade.
