Any suggestions when cutting polypropylene?

Recommended Posts

I was looking at suggestions for force when using my Graphtec CE-6000 cutting 6MIL poly?

Thank you all for your advice.

You are just going to have to work into it with test cuts. If you end up way up in pressure you might find that 2 passes at a lower pressure will get better results than one high. When I cut stencil material I use clear backing from regular performance vinyl most of the time and I keep a small piece after the job and leave my cutting force and speed written on it with a sharpie so I don't have to go through that every time. 6 mil is pretty thin so I would think one pass will work. Does your product have a carrier sheet?

The substrate has a clear backing layer. I've cut it in one pass with ease, but I do notice a very slight dimpling in the material where the cut line is. I didn't know if this was normal, and decided to ask for some advice.

How do I set up the CE-6000 for two passes with lower pressure. I'm using VM PRO.

Thank you for your assistance.
