About the Blades and Materials

6-1 Blade and Material Combinations

This section indicates the proper cutting conditions for various types of materials, as well as blade life-span. Cutting conditions
and blade life vary according to the hardness of the material and the usage environment. Making the settings for the conditions
described below does not automatically guarantee attractive cutting results in all situations. Before performing actual cutting, be
sure to carry out a cutting test and make any necessary adjustments (see "4-3 Adjusting the Blade Force and Cutting Speed"). If
the material is not cut through completely even when the blade force is increased by 50 to 60 gf more than the blade force values
shown below, it means that the useful life of the blade has ended. Replace with a new blade.
Blade Material

* The values for lifespan are intended to serve as a general guide when cutting materials of identical type.
* When you are cutting small text (character height of 3 mm for alphanumeric characters or more), ZEC-U3017 can produce more
attractive cutting results than other blades.
* Use the included blade under conditions equivalent to those for the ZEC-U5025.
