FC7000 cutting coarsely

[whatsinaname]

Since the past 2-3 days my FC7000 is cutting very coarsely. All of a sudden its lost that smoothness when weeding. Looked like a dull blade so changed into a new blade. Was cutting still coarsely, so got a new blade holder and cutting strip too. Then got another new blade in the new holder with the new teflon cutting strip. But......... Its still cutting the same way and I am having a hard time weeding the stuff.

What could be the issue here?

sounds like you need to adjust the downforce and maybe the offset (if cuts aren't closing correctly).... what kind of vinyl and what downforce are you using?

Just had another thought... did you accidently change the blade type in your conditions?

Actually I am cutting paint protection film. The cuts are closing correctly since I have the overcut feature (tangential emulation) turned on. But overall the cuts are very rough. When I weed, the film is getting lifted along the edges.

If you can supply a picture of the course cutting you may get more help. I will say this last time I had a problem with it cutting course it was a loose head. If you take the cutting head standing in front of the machine and try to rock it side to side there should be no movement. If there is this may be your problem. It can be fixed. Try calling Graphtec tech. support.

Tried this gently. The cutting head is rock steady.

Did you ever fix the problem?

Does it cut "coarsely" when the carriage cuts left to right , right to left?
Up and down ?
