Problem "closing" cuts and sharp corners

[seretni 0]

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

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.

DO NOT USE THAT    .25 in Flexi............Flexi is in inches.    SignBlazer  is .25 MM

I am using signcut, my cuts are starting before the letters, shapes, whatever. Offset is at .15. Do you adjust up or down?

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,

It is. You want to use .025 in SC and adjust by .05 increments.

In Flexi, try adjusting the 'overcut'.

Any clue where is that ption in Flexi BannerJohn??

Thank you in advance.

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

The blade offset is in the production manager, click on the options and Default Job Properties.
