slopchops 1 Posted February 28, 2008 I have the US cutter 24" By george it just doesn't complete the cuts all the way on most of fonts. This makes weeding difficult and results in expelling numerous cuss-words. In most sign software it tells to increase the angle of the blade by a point or two. I have done this with this Signblazer software up to ten points and can't tell any difference. I have contacted Ken Imes about this before and was advised to leave those settings alone. Does anyone else have this problem? I am just tearing up to many letters on account of this. :'( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted February 28, 2008 I don't use Sign Blazer but in Flexi I just adjust the offset a few points and it fixes my problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest fivestar Posted February 28, 2008 One of you post a file you're having problems with in .eps format and I will cut it and see how it weeds for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not to noticeable in large letters but anything two inches and below it is not giving a clean cut. Whats your email address fourthsyde and I will send you a example.

slopchops 1 Posted February 28, 2008 I understand that. I gave went into the Sign software-to cutter- to set up at the top of the page-to "blade offset" and the settings were 0.00 I changed it to 0.15 and it does cut somewhat better. This is a cast vinyl I am cutting and the pressure is 106. It still isn't perfect though. Adjust more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenimes 42 Posted February 28, 2008 Yes, please try .020, .025, .030, .035 until you get the desired results with the cuts closing completely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted February 28, 2008 I have 2 cutters...one with Flexi,one with SignBlazer. In both software, the offset is set to .025. Perfect cuts every time,down to 1/2 inch letters. I arrived at this by trial and error...increasing a bit each time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted February 28, 2008 and it has problems below 1/2" No. I have problems seeing well enough to weed anything that small. I do mostly banners. I can't remember ever doing anything smaller that 1/2 inch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
