fourthsyde 0 Posted February 27, 2008 ive tried playing with it a bit, but it seems like nomatter what the offset, there is always a fraction of a milimeter of vinyl that does not get cut, and makes the weeding process a lot harder when it comes to small text, etc.... any suggestions from refine users using signcut? thanks a ton!

kenimes 42 Posted February 27, 2008 The carriage is on its tracks I assume? Using the back position for the blade holder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firemalt 10 Posted February 27, 2008 I have the same problem with my pcut. I've tried .00, .10, .15, .20, and .25. Everything from text as big as 1 1/2" to 1/4" always seem to have a little piece on each letter that didn't make a complete cut. I just assumed this was the norm...

fourthsyde 0 Posted February 27, 2008 its really annoying with small text, it keeps peeling it up off the backing while im weeding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bk2design 1 Posted February 27, 2008 How small is your text? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fourthsyde 0 Posted February 27, 2008 about 1cm tall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bk2design 1 Posted February 27, 2008 That may be cutting it close to what these can handle. Jerry from signblazer had a post awhile back about size of text and what blade to use. Can't remember what it was under though. You have turned down the speed of cutting right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bk2design 1 Posted February 27, 2008 Does your blade spin free in the holder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bk2design 1 Posted February 27, 2008 You're other pieces you posted look great, did you have the same problem with them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkdan 3 Posted March 1, 2008 Mine is set to 0.012 Some sign software has an "overcut" setting that will just a certain distance past the start/stop point. This eliminates the problem. Maybe get new software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgreenh 9 Posted March 1, 2008 Although I didn't test it on a lot of things, when I tried the demo of SignBlazer, it seemed to me like it produced a better cut. Long term use might have proved that theory wrong but the few things I cut with it I turned out good. I can get SignCut to do OK, but it seems to leave the uncut tab on a regular basis. You might try the demo of SignBlazer and see if that helps you with the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkdan 3 Posted March 2, 2008 yes, I do believe signblazer has an overcut feature, flexi 8.1 and up does, and I believe one or two other programs do too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
