Dp yourself a favor and buy some Oracal vinyl and just barley have your blade out and adjust your force. I take my finger and run it along the bottom so I can just feel it. You would thin that's not out far enough but it is good luck....

get your bank card out to measure the depth of the blade. it should not extend more than half the thickness of the card. then start adjusting your pressure. i have a graphtec and was having problems. i read the manual and found that just because the cutter speed setting will go above 50 you should never go over 30. i slowed it down and man this thing cuts awesome.

Jfought I done that and took it in the house and it cuts a heck of a lot better waiting for my new barn to get put up so it will be a controled environment unlike my other one. And Skeeter what you mean?
