Blade holder SLAMS down on initial cut

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I have a new CE6000-40 and I'm new to cutting.

 

I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but the bladeholder seems to slam down pretty hard on the vinyl when it starts a new cut. 

 

I've attached a video showing the behavior. Is this how it's supposed to work or is that a little aggressive?

 

I've pasted all of my software settings below. These settings are controlled in Cutting Master 3 and synced back to the cutter over USB.

 

On the cutter itself, I have the setting for "Initial Down Force" set to 1 (the lowest setting). I don't see an equivalent setting on the computer software side.

Is it actually cutting when you send a job? When I got mine I didn't have the blade holder snapped all the way in so it wasn't cutting but did make a loud slamming noise until I got it properly seated.

Yeah, it's cutting just fine I was just worried that it was going down a little too hard and thought maybe I didn't have something set correctly. After you got the blade holder seated correctly, does it still slam?

What ever happened on the circle problem?.. You never updated on it.

Mz Skeeter,

 

Unfortunately I never really found a solution to the hangnails on the small circles. I'm cutting them in rows and just throwing away the bad ones.
