CB15UB blade

[Lea Marc]

Hi guys,

We have some jobs that require small text to be plotted and we have been using the CB09UA blade. This is fine but I noticed the smaller text the harder it is to cut cleanly - the joins are not complete and in some places it doesn't cut through the media all the way so we have to finish it of by hand when weeding.

Has anyone used the CB15UB blade? Would this really help cut small text better?

Thanks, Steve

Are you telling it to use mode 1 under Tangential Mode? This may make the small text better for weeding since it will cut past the points instead of turning.

I haven't tried that yet, would that mode just be for cutting small text or for everything? The manual says it is for thick media but we are cutting on Oracal 3640 and 751C..

Anytime my 8600 makes a bad corner to where the cuts arent complete or its tearing it, I turn this on and it works fine. Might be worth giving it a shot. I am still in the learning stages with this cutter too so I am no expert.

Thanks. The setting we were using had it on so I turned it off mid-job to see if it made any difference, will see when it's weeded. I'll post a pic as the text is small though.

How small of text are you talking about?

Here are some pics, I've ran smaller text and had similar issues. You can see where it's picking at the joins of the text. This is on Oracal 751C.
