VinylRevamp 93 Posted August 21, 2015 I just put in the new clean cut blade 60degree. Changed the offset to .25mm as stated and my downforce is at 54g (thats half of what I had before). Im cutting premium plus with a LP2. What would you guys suggest changing. The corners aren't perfectly edged. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted August 21, 2015 +1 that is offset you are describing - mb20music hit it right on the headjust changed the one in the main holder for the printer yesterday after about a year . . . they take a real beating once you get it dialed in 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted August 21, 2015 heck with the graphtec you leave the offset at 0 so I forget about all the fine adjustments with my old cutters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinylRevamp 93 Posted August 22, 2015 UPDATE - raised my offset up to .39 What do you guys think? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted August 23, 2015 I think you went a little too far. Notice the hooks on the points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinylRevamp 93 Posted August 23, 2015 I guess its back to the lab...lol Shouldn't be too far down from .39 right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted August 23, 2015 whatever it takes to make the corners right - will be different slightly on every machine and blade- heck even as blades get a bit of a hone to them over time it can change a little bit (noticed more on the cheaper blades as the tips were softer) knowing how to find the offset, blade depth and pressure is basics for anyone with a cutter. you see a lot ob people with cricuts get real hung up on other peoples settings and not really understand what the settings are doing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted August 23, 2015 I would try .30 That might be the sweet spot. heck with the graphtec you leave the offset at 0 so I forget about all the fine adjustments with my old cutters SO Dakota if I get clean cut blades I just leave the offset to 0?
