@Katheybessey Depending on how thick it is, you don't need very high pressure. If you are talking about the kind that is like overhead projector sheets, you can go around 45 or 50... if you are taking something thicker, then you would need to go higher.

@Suzan, you need to use her full screen name, not just Kathy for it to give her the PM about a message.

LOL Suzan and Diane it didn't work for either of you!!! (the @ thingy)

Tyler that is a lot of force!! I think I'll try Diane's suggestion as it is the thin stuff like overhead projector so I'll give that a try.

OK You got me back for the @ thingy now!

OK So I had to bump up the force to 80 to get a good clean cut on the acetate! (I know Tyler, now quit shaking your head at me :hide: )
