Setting blade depth with PCut (with pic)

[paranoid56 0]

so i am borrowing a cutter and i think the cutting blade is sticking out to far. you guys recommend 1/2 a CC but mine seems to be set at 3 1/2 depth. i looked up the owners manual with the printer and it shows a different blade holder. any ideas on how to adjust this?

only the bottom part where the blade comes out unscrews and does have a oring on it. is this the depth adjuster?

Thanks guys (oh, and i did search, but didnt see what i was looking for)

I think half a credit card is too much, your picture is way too much. Here is how I adjust mine:

With the holder out of the machine I will run it across a peice of scrap material with moderate pressure. (About like writing with a pen) I adjust it until it will only cut the vinyl clean and not cut into the backing paper.

This will get you a good starting point.

Just unscrew the cap on the side the blade is sticking out
