slice&dice 2,450 Posted February 9, 2021 Shalom, Avi. 1. Speed is just what it says -- the blade carriage moves quicker as the cutting process moves along at higher rate of speed. While the machine is doing cutting, you can just change this value in the middle of the cut and watch what happens. Force is DownForce, and the amount of this pressure is dependent on the material resistance. Some vinyls (like HTV) are thicker and require more effort (force) from the blade to cut. I think that most people use around 100, more or less. 2. "More down"? Hard to know what you intended by this, but the machine needs to be set up so the blade is barely exposed past the end of the barrel holder. Essentially, just the very minimal amount of blade tip is required to cut. 3. Object border --- what border? Show us an example of what you are trying to cut with 'thicker borders' and we can better evaluate this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
