silvertrx 0 Posted July 5, 2010 Im using a pcut ct-630 and every time i draw a square in signblazer (just say 50mm x 50mm) and then cut it, the first line is always slightly longer where the last line should join, and the last corner it cuts curves in. this is making it difficult to weed and ofcourse its inaccurate Basically first corner is curved with a slight line coming off it and the rest are square as they should be Any ideas? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bamafan2277 50 Posted July 5, 2010 What is your blade offset at? Try adjusting it bit by bit and do a test cut to see what happens. A good starting point is .25mm then adjust down by 5 to see if it gets better or worse and just play and fine tune it. That will probably help with that issue.

silvertrx 0 Posted July 5, 2010 I have tried that. the other 3 corners are perfect now. they arent rounded or pointed out. but the first corner is the same. I have the offset at 0.40 as anything lower and the corners are all rounded Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silvertrx 0 Posted July 6, 2010 The x and y scale. what do they do as i have adjusted them hoping it was somthing to with them but nothing seemed to change Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bamafan2277 50 Posted July 6, 2010 Try putting the pen tool in with some paper. Does it draw the same way it cuts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silvertrx 0 Posted July 6, 2010 No. The when the pen draws the same rectangle it puts spikes on the corners. When u cut it with the blade using the same offset, it cuts 3 corners perfect and one wrong. If i change it so the pen draws correct, the blade cuts with rounded corners Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bamafan2277 50 Posted July 6, 2010 hmm... that is odd. When mine was doing that I had to play with the offset. Do you have another blade you can try? Other than that I hope someone who has dealt with these issues can chime in for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silvertrx 0 Posted July 6, 2010 tried using a few different blades cheap and expensive but nothing. offset set at .50 works best for the other 3 corners but the forth is rubbish. if i do a circle its perfect though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted July 6, 2010 The very nature of a drag knife cutter causes some of this as it must drag the knife to turn the blade - when the blade drops it is turned in a different direction causing the little line off of the other area. some software has an over cut that will help with the weeding problem.

Or any other way to fix it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
