Either cut a 1”x1” square or a 10”x10” square and then actually measure what gets cut out. My 1x1 was .96x.97”...found out during a large batch of reflective rectangles that got cut undersized
Checked it and it was a bit off so I recalibrated. Still not right, but the sizes are correct now. Thanks!

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 the blade tip out of the blade holder. You only cut with the very tip of the blade.
Run the speed slow until you get it figured out.
The machine cuts fine, but what I'm finding is that that beginning and end of the cut don't meet. they over shoot leaving a sliver of material that needs to be cut manually.

As far as I can tell everything is set in vinylmaster.

I've been messing with this all weekend. If I take the blade offset to zero it cuts the part of the decal I've been having trouble with perfectly, but doesn't cut other portions of the image completely. I still can't figure out what the first cut is perfect and the rest have an issue.

This is probably a newbie thing, but I thought I'd ask before I go nuts. I have a small design that a cut a ton of. The first cut is always perfect. The rest have a 1/4" overcut at the top which leaves a sliver with a 1/32" offset. It wouldn't be a big deal if I were only doing a couple as I'd fix it with a razor knife and move on, but I need to cut 50 at a time. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

I worked with the calibration and reset the overcut. I believe that this is more of an issue with the image than the cutter. None of my other images have this problem.
