CB15U blade

[George-pig 0]

Hi,

I'm using my CB15U blade for the first time and just before cutting it cuts a little line and sometimes this is in my work and ruins it.

I did a test cut to show you, it's to the right of pic.

Thanks.

If you are referring to the "j", You can move it it in your menu> background settings> Initial blade control>outside. 

That test cut doesn't look so great. How did you set your blade depth?  Also Blade offset is ZERO on a Graphtec. The corners of that cut look bad. It doesn't look like you are cutting with the very tip of the blade. 

To start with, you should set your blade depth correctly, by taking the blade holder out of the machine, and firmly cut across a piece of scrap vinyl, you will be cutting. You should only be cutting the vinyl and barely a mark on wax paper backing, Adjust blade to get there, Then put the blade holder back in machine, and use the force of the machine to get there, same results, only cutting the vinyl and barely a mark in wax paper backing. You should barely see and feel the blade out of the blade holder. Regular sign vinyl is only 2-3 mil thick. You only cut with the very tip of the blade.
