racert25 2 Posted December 11, 2014 So i did my first cut in my graphtec. Some parts of the letters were uncut. My question is do I bump up the pressure or double cut? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted December 11, 2014 what program are you using - does it have an overcut feature - I have never had that trouble on any graphtec I have owned. some others have that messed with the offset instead of leaving it at 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted December 11, 2014 I would bump up the pressure and make sure the blade is sharp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pshawny 410 Posted December 11, 2014 Force of 9 should work good. Are you cutting on the correct side, dull side? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mb20music 760 Posted December 11, 2014 Might need a little more blade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted December 12, 2014 Siser Stretch is tough enough that you definitely need a good sharp blade. I've only had trouble two times and a fresh blade cleared it right up both times. Other than that I cut it at the same pressure I cut most things. Little more than cast vinyl, about the same as Oracal 651. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racert25 2 Posted December 12, 2014 Its a brand new blade. Was using Graphtec studio. I have not changed any settings. 0- Offset 20- Speed 2- accel 12- Cut Force Cuts Oracal 651 fine. I do have the rollers all the way to the edge about a half inch in. It looked like the vinyl was buckling very litle while cutting could this be part of the issue?

arty-rc 719 Posted December 12, 2014 It looked like the vinyl was buckling very litle while cutting could this be part of the issue? Looks like too much blade and pressure. Make sure you do test cuts before cutting the whole graphic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racert25 2 Posted December 12, 2014 That looks like it helped. I will be cutting a design shortly. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessXEmoji 46 Posted December 12, 2014 On my sc cutter you have to make sure the ends of the vinyl stays away from the machine or they will catch and cause it to bunch up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pshawny 410 Posted December 13, 2014 I cut at 20 speed most of the time. 8 for smaller vehicle decals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted December 13, 2014 Mine runs 20 all day and up to 35 if it's really basic. Got it stuck on 50 for a whole day before I figured out what I did and it damn near shook the stand apart but the cuts were still perfect 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
