Graphtec cutting through completely...

[GP]

Anyone know what causes this? Just did it again, this time causing one of those Y axis errors and burning about 5 yds of 751.

Material is going to be close---UGH!

edit---I guess I should have mentioned that it happens intermittently...otherwise, i would just adjust the blade.

 

[Bigdawg]

what is the downforce on? for 751 I use 17 on the force

 

[GP]

yes, 17

Did the blade tip break? I've had that happen. Look at the tip or try another blade.

What program are you cutting out of?

 

[GP]

cut directly out of Illustrator.


Oh my...blade broke! Wow. At least it looks ever-so slightly rounded...hmmm....

Thanks Stacey-

So weird, b/c it just seems to happen from time to time. Usually at the beginning of the roll/cut job or when I am cutting long jobs. Like there is slack or something. Maybe I will slow down the speed as well.

Out of curiosity, what force do you cut your 651?

Thanks again,

GP

On 651 I use force of 19. On reflective I use 23, On laminated prints I usually use 21.

 

[Bigdawg]

I usually cut a speed of 30, although I up it to 40 sometimes. Just seems to give the best cut all-round at that speed.

I've had that happen 3 times.... each time it was a broken blade. Try a new blade.

 

[GP]

ran a few tests with new blade...worked fine...

Re-sent job and did it again.

 

[Bigdawg]

Are you using Cutting Master to cut from Illy?

 

[GP]

yes, cutting master 2

Check to be sure you don't have enable driver options on in the second tab - or if you do that they are set correctly. This will override the graphtec settings.
