TOOL1.
Then use the UP / DOWN keys to set the speed. (to 600mm/s)) and use the Left /
Right keys to set the Force. (Start at approx. 360 g)
When cutting through your media the aim is to have the smallest amount of blade
out as possible to achieve the cut and use a reasonable force .
For 350micron card (15pt) we would suggest that the pressure should be set
between 300 - 450g. When performing the TEST CUT, if you can cut through
with a pressure setting UNDER this value, then you have too much blade
exposed. Please reduce your exposure blade.
WARNING: Too much blade exposed, has the following implications:
1. Reduced control while cutting,
2. Tight turns will have an artefact known as 'Ears', particularly on
inverted corner cuts, (the blade will 'turn over' lift /drag the card on a
sharp corner where it has to double back or change direction abruptly.
as the blade has too much width as it rotates so can not do so cleanly.
3. You risk reducing the life of your cutting blade - by forcing the tip into
the cutting mat unnecessarily.
4. You will place more wear and tear on your equipment, as the motors
require added force, to cut your material AND your cutting mat.
5. You will shorten the life of your cutting mat.
