Quick question

Postby minorcustomcrafts » February 22nd, 2013, 7:53 pm

I am cutting vinyl and the font is pretty thin, I thickened it but it is still pulling up some of the small pieces. I can't remember if this means I should slow down my machine or speed it up? I am at 250. I am using the same force I always use and just cut out a larger font. Mind you I am cutting this 100 times, so I have 7 per sheet I am doing, so it has over 144,000 nodes so I don't want to slow it down too much. It already takes 30 minutes to cut 1 sheet. I just can't remember if this means I need to speed it up or slow it down.

Thanks

I always cut vinyl slow, some others here may cut fast but I cut it very slow.Lesa

I run my SB at 800 for vinyl all of the time :D - Trisha, what blade are you using? do you have a detail blade? sometimes when I'm cutting really intricate or extremely thin I will use the detail (45 deg), but mostly I just use my regular 45 degree blade, click holder on 1, V800, F25/27

I used to cut at 100 or so and rachell told me to speed it up or it could time out on me with more nodes :) so 300 is fast for me. I did slow It down to 225 and I seemed to do better. I may try th detail blade, didnt think of that, I just use the regular 45
