malachiind 0 Posted March 5, 2008 I have a Refine MH721 and got it about 3 months ago, however I have not used it but a couple times around christmas. I was wondering how to change the starting position of the cutter. Let's say you have used a portion of the vinyl and need the cutter to cut further to the left side, how would I do this.

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted March 5, 2008 while in offline/pause mode, use the left and right arrows to move the blade to where you want it,then push 'origin' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malachiind 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Simple enough even I can do it... Thanks What about the letters coming up when cutting, I am down to about 8" per second and still lifting up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted March 5, 2008 usually that means too much of your blade is sticking out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malachiind 0 Posted March 5, 2008 I tried to lessen the length of the blade, but is still lifts up small parts. I wonder if it is the vinyl, it is Avery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkdan 3 Posted March 5, 2008 I used to be able to do it in the software, but now I can't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malachiind 0 Posted March 5, 2008 I guess it was the vinyl. I switched the vinyl out for another sample and it worked like a charm without changing anything else. Guess there is a learning curve on the vinyl side of things as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenimes 42 Posted March 5, 2008 Sometimes adhesive builds up on the end of the blade, so it is a good idea to clean the blade once in awhile with some rubbing alcohol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted March 5, 2008 different vinyls sometimes require different pressure,blade depth,etc. I can cut all day long with FDC vinyl and change to Oracal...have to change the settings. 3m,avery...usually all are about the same but Oracal just seems a bit thicker to me.

malachiind 0 Posted March 5, 2008 The carrier sheet just seemed to be real slick and didn't want to hold anything in place. I tried several different cutting speeds and depths, but it didn't seem to make a difference. The thicker lines cut out real nice, but it just wasn't good on the smaller letters.
