Spike 0 Posted August 21, 2009 Hey there, I just got a 330L and so far it is working great cutting stencil film. I need to be able to also cut velum that can be reusable stencils. I gave it a shot and seems the cutter is not cutting all the way through. I think it needs more down pressure, but can't seem to find the settings for that? Any ideas? Thanks Spike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mars 45 Posted August 28, 2009 I don't have that cutter - so no help from me on pressure setting location. Does the blade holder allow for adjusting the exposed part of the blade on your cutter? Or does it have different blade holders for different depths? If you can find the pressure setting try that first - if it doesn't do the trick try to adjust or change the blade holder. -Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spike 0 Posted August 28, 2009 Don't know if it has a pressure setting. That is what I need to know. I tried the different holders, still not cutting 100% Or another question would be does anyone sell a masking material that is reusable that will run through the cutter?

mars 45 Posted August 28, 2009 Yes use a carrier sheet - Walmart carries the Crikut brand ones or you can make your own with a piece of vinyl backing paper sprayed with adhesive. The red cap is supposed to cut .3mm - you can cut over the design twice to make it cut deeper. I looked at the manual online and don't think there is a pressure setting. BTW it's hard on your cutting strip to cut unlined media without a carrier sheet - won't take long to ruin the strip and require replacement. -Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spike 0 Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks Mike. Will try the backing trick. That could be the ticket... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edge 67 Posted August 28, 2009 Doesn't this cut either direct from a memory card or or from your computer? The memory card route is foreign to me, but if I read correctly my understanding is this also cuts from a computer using CuttingMaster. The attached screen shot displays the screen using CuttingMaster II showing the ROBO Controller offering cutting speed adjustment from 1-10 and cutting pressure (thickness) from 1-33.

Spike 0 Posted August 28, 2009 Correct. Still with the setting all the way up, it will not cut 100% through the velum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edge 67 Posted August 28, 2009 I'm not familar with Velum. That said, perhaps the AccuBlade Holder for this cutter might offer the solution you are looking for; unless you believe the machine to just not be capable of the pressures needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
