george234 0 Posted May 23, 2015 Having problem with those little pesky tips where the blade stops and starts its cuts, Alright for large cuts but for small details weeding is a pest. The tips keep pulling up the cut vinyl, I have tried several settings. Including: Offset 0-5 Speed 8-15 Acceration 1-5 Cutforce 15-25 and Tried the Tangential either off or on and different mm settings. ANYBODY? What is the best settings. Should I set the Tangential cut, is this like overcut in the SC cutters? I am using ClearCut blades , NEW ( Remfact) CE 5000 windows 8 Cutting Master 3.

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted May 23, 2015 Stop playing with all the settings (esp. offset) before you get in a mess. Speed and pressure cause lifting and each machine is slightly different but I typically run 15/15 speed/force for good results but will go slower or less force if needed.

mb20music 760 Posted May 23, 2015 Maybe you are trying to cut too small or have too much blade sticking out of the holder. Also , when cutting small detailed stuff you want your cut speed very slow, might take some test cuts to get it just right. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
george234 0 Posted May 23, 2015 I dont mean the vinyl lifts whle cutting, only when weeding the cut area that stays lifts with the weed because of the little tips where the blade starts and stops. Sure I can send a photo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
george234 0 Posted May 23, 2015 Cutting at least 1/2" but it does it on larger cuts also,, just in that one pesky little spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted May 23, 2015 And blade offset is 0 on a Graphtec.... Make sure that you set your blade correctly like this.below... You should only be cutting with the blade tip, You should just barely see the blade tip out of the blade holder.. 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
george234 0 Posted May 23, 2015 Yep blade is set as you mention.. And I don't see an overcut setting on Graphtec, there was an overcut on the SC cutter . Must be named different with Graphtec Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

george234 0 Posted May 23, 2015 Here is how it lifts up, just at a tiny tiny point where the blade didnt cut, Need overcut. Havent found it on CM3 yet. These are about 1/2" letters... with Oracal 651 vinyl Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted May 23, 2015 I didn't find it in Cutting Master 3 either... I don't even think your letters look cut good... Show more pictures... You could also use weed lines thru the letters. Are you sure the blade still has a tip on it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

george234 0 Posted May 23, 2015 The inside of the letter is an example, the tiny little spot where the blade starts and stops, it needs to go to an overcut, which i cant fine.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
