New SC2 28" - Can someone explain "offset" in detail

Recommended Posts

Just got my new SC2 28" cutter and going through my learning curve.  Previous cutter was a Roland SV12 which no longer works with Windows.

Can someone explain what is meant by adjusting the "offset"?  What does offset do?  How to adjust offset and why would I need to?

Thank you in advance.

PM sent.  First you must set your blade depth correctly.  Don't use any directions that say use a credit card, that is false info. 

This is correct way to set your blade depth.

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. You should just barely see and feel your blade tip out of the blade holder.
