MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted August 31, 2020 Blade offset is in your cutting software settings. But first make sure that you have your blade depth set correctly. Don't use instructions that have to do with a credit card thickness or a post it note. You set the blade depth to the vinyl that you are cutting. Vinyl is only 2-3 mil thick, so you only cut with the very tip of the blade. It is correct blade depth first, then blade offset. Start at 0.25 mm 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 in your hand, 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,626 Posted August 31, 2020 The MH does not have an on cutter offset adjustment. Once you get the blade depth set as Skeeter described the offset it adjusted in your cutting software. You'll want to add a bit of overcut as well, it'll help close the cuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
