MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted February 14, 2013 Welcome.....MY TIPS are to READ, READ, READ, Learn how to vector images before you take orders read the newbie manual in the in contibution instructions download in first post. set your blade depth this way. To start with, you should set your blade depth correctly, by taking the blade holder out of the machine, and firmly cut across a piece of scrap vinyl, you will be cutting. You should only be cutting the vinyl and barely a mark on wax paper backing, Adjust blade to get there, Then put the blade holder back in machine, and use the force of the machine to get there, same results, only cutting the vinyl and barely a mark in wax paper backing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
