Hi!
I pulled my machine out for the first time in a while and I always have to refresh my memory on what exactly I need to do to make it work properly. . . But at the same time, I feel I've done all the things I was supposed to and some how the machine isn't responding how I hoped.
Issue #1
I used the Pen tool for the first time ever this week and at first the tool holder on the machine wasn't moving up and down at all. I started out on very light pressure because I had never used it before and began increasing it. I am not sure what changed or if the holder just doesn't move very much when the pressure is lighter? But got it to work.
Issue #2
I switched back to using my 45 degree blade in the regular blade holder to cut vinyl. I did a practice run and the blade is dragging across the work. The blade is set to be poking out about the width of a dime and I used the spacer to make sure it was at the proper height. Perhaps it's a setting in the SCAL 5 program? I noticed when I hit "cutter" there's a setting I don't remember seeing there before. "Up Speed" Does this need to match the speed? Or be less or more than speed? Or maybe it doesn't matter?
Any help, tips, and advice would be great... Thanks so much for your time.
