UniqueGraphix_559 0 Posted May 25, 2014 I have a laserpoint 2. How do I set the base up correctly. And how do I know if I have a 45 or 60 degree blade? When I'm doing smaller letters that are squared off it rounds them and it's very frustrating. Even if I put the speed all the way down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mb20music 760 Posted May 25, 2014 How small are you trying to cut? The value cutters just don't cut really small letters very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skarekrow 1,842 Posted May 25, 2014 May very well be an offset problem. Have you tried cutting a test square to see if the corners are sharp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joefraga 3 Posted May 30, 2014 I am having almost the same issue. I am trying to cut quarter inch letters and it keeps pulling the vinyl up with it. I have tried different pressures. I am using a Titan 2. Is this beyond my machines capability? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am using a Titan 2. Is this beyond my machines capability? to go down to that small with any cutter you will need a very fine tuned cutter and the right vinyl. I would start by using a 60 degree cleancut blade and make sure I have the absolute least amount of blade exposed (too much blade exposed using the incorrect 1/2 credit card will almost always pull small detail up) using fresh oracal vinyl will help also ( we have used oracal and fdc on fine detail for weeding competitions 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted May 30, 2014 Like Dakota said it's all in the setup and it takes time to get it right. The smaller the letters the longer the setup which is why I pass on most jobs that intricate. I have done arial down to about 1/16" in siser and let me tell you it's a miserable experience and I'll pass every job like that from now on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
