Evaluating the Offset Through a Cutting Test
The remaining cross-shaped area is used to check whether the
offset value is set correctly.
• When the offset value has been correctly set, the corners of
the figure should appear cleanly cut as shown in A of the
figure right.
• If the offset value is too small, the corners will appear
slightly rounded as illustrated by B; an offset value which is
too large will result in a cut figure similar to C.
When you are adjusting the blade offset, we recommend first adjusting the blade force and the amount of blade extension.
Changing the Speed When Raised (Up Speed)
With the CX-500/400/300, you can set the speed for movement to the next cutting location with the tool raised while cutting is in
progress.
In cases such as when the material rises up over the platen and the surface of the material is damaged by the blade when the material
moves forward and backward while the tool is raised, you can avoid problems by lowering the speed.
