Random Cuts

[speclized 0]

Hi guys,

My laserpoint 24" has not given me any problem since I got it.

but recently it is making some random cuts.

more line an entry or exit line.

it is very consistant, and will repeat to the same place.

Cutter : Laserpoint 24"

Software : Signblazer

Computer : Windows 7 32bit, USB connection

Check pictures

Thank You,

from looking at your pictures, it looks like your blade offset is not correct

and also blade out too far. I don't see anything sharp on your cutting.

You can take the blade holder out of your machine and in your hand cut firmly across a piece of scrap vinyl. should only cut the vinyl and no marks or barely a mark in wax paper backing. Adjust to get to there.

Blade offset is .25mm

and blade height is correct. light marks on backing paper.

Its the really long weird cuts. about .25"

Updated the pics

.25MM isn't always an exact setting. just looking at that cross, and other places on your design the ends aren't meeting. when you do your test cuts, are the triangle points nice and sharp? Or rounded?

As far as the random. have you zoomed your design way up and look for stray nodes?

I just noticed this myself , when I do a test cut from the control pad on the Laser Point it comes out long rectangle with the points very slightly rounded. Is the offset your referring to in my cutting software or on the machine itself and should I change it at .5 increments at a time? Sorry I'm having a Re-Newbie moment!

You show a Laser pointer and Signcut, so go in Signcut.. and adjust. I don't think you have offset on your vinyl cutter.

change at .05 + or minus... see which is best.
