3m dinoc and pcut creation cutter.

[mrrask 7]

have a little issue with my 3m dinoc film.

i have just bought a brand new creation ct1200e vinyl cutter. have been working with 3m scotch cal 1080 series and oracal foil, but now i have got a sample of 3m dinoc wood finish film, but now the cutter cannot cut through the dinoc film.

i am using a 45 degree standart blade i have tried cutting with max pressure at 255 but without luck.

is it because that my blade i not sharp any longer?

do i use a wrong knife type? should i rather use a 60 degree knife or how can i solve that problem?

thanks in advance

You will need the 60 degree blade and have the blade sticking out a little farther than you would on regular vinyl. Pressure should be around 100 if I recall.

okay, thanks, i will buy 60 degree blades tomorrow. right now i have tried with a new 45 degree, now i can cut through, but i need a cutting pressure at 200, which sound very much for me? :/

[mb20music 760]

You probably will be able to back off on the pressure with your 60 degree blade

okay, just to understand it right (still new to the cutter world). when i get my 60 degree blade i have to downgrade the pressure to a lower pressure like 100-150, as you said in the first quote?

[mb20music 760]

Yes you can probably bring the pressure down to around that, you will have to experiment a little. Just keep in mind that the Di-noc does tend to dull blades quickly.

okay i better have to buy a few 60 degree blades then

Thanks for quickly and helpful response

It definitely would't hurt. You can get them pretty cheap on eBay.

excately.

I'm from denmark, and here in denmark it is pretty cheap 5 blades cost about 4-500 dkr, which would be about 80-90 usd, so its right ebay is much cheaper
