seretni 0 Posted October 21, 2009 Hi everyone Im having some problems with my cutter , I provide a pic to show you what i mean. When it cuts some parts (specially circular ones) the cutter seems that it doesnt finish the cut it takes the blade off before closing the path so when im weeding i have to cut the milimeter left by hand and its turning me mad :S Also when doing really small leters (with big ones it doesnt happen so much ) the corners arent sharp it makes every corner a bit rounded, the smaller the graphic the more roundiness it makes :S I think it is due to some software settings because i have recently changed to FLEXI and if i remember correctly SignBlazer didnt do this things. Also i have a question, what is the blade offset?? Do i have to adjust it in order to make better cuts? because i havent done so, thank you everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpwall 0 Posted October 21, 2009 yes you have to change the blade offset, this is what compensates for the blade not being centered in the holder. start out at .25 and adjust in .05 increments until your cuts are closing good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DO NOT USE THAT .25 in Flexi............Flexi is in inches. SignBlazer is .25 MM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spacegraphics 0 Posted October 21, 2009 I am using signcut, my cuts are starting before the letters, shapes, whatever. Offset is at .15. Do you adjust up or down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seretni 0 Posted October 21, 2009 ok ill make some adjustments And about the sharp corners?? :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted October 21, 2009 ok ill make some adjustments And about the sharp corners?? :S the brand of cutter varies for Blade offset,, Graphtec is 0 it is your offset.. you have not stated what version of Flexi you are using,, so guess Flexi 8.5-8.6 enter some text on your layout screen> click cut/plot> your production manager opens > upper left corner below your cutter brand is a bar that say PROPERTIES> CLICK IT, SCREEN CHANGES, to Default job properites, click the picture at the top that looks like a blade/knife, screen changes, look for knife offset.. , check it and change to what you want,, you will have to do adjustments and test, put the quality at medium,, click APPLY and OK, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted October 21, 2009 It would sure help if you stated what Flexi you are using... different versions are different areas. It is hard to help you, If we don't know what exact software you are using. click /cut plot/ it is in one of the tabs. ...Also at the top of your layout screen is HELP, Help topics/ can answer/ show/ you alot of where your tools are in Flexi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
