Initial Blade down leaves nick - WHY? *PIC*

[n20capri]

hmm 2 years old. Might also be the blade holder. When the holder gets worn out the blade will lean and not make correct circles for example.

See above I just replaced the blade holder - and blade and spring - no luck

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but make sure under Tool on the machine make sure it reads 09U and not PEN.

This was one of the main tech support calls I used to get when I did support for people and was a simple fix, if this is the issue While on PEN the blade will pick itself up at the last minute and not complete the cut.

Good luck.

yes I'm using 09U lol.

Have you worked out your cutting problemo yet? You said you tried to change the offset, but did the changes save or did they default?
In you program setup, it may be called something else other than overcut.....here's a screen shot of another program which just calls it "close" and one of Vinyl Master Pro which calls it "overcut"

I did not fix the issue thanks for replying. I do see overlap but I believe that is for if I need to tile something...I did select this option with .05 (up to .08) as the value but it didn't do a thing...like I said I believe this option is for tiling...

OK, can you post a screen shot of the properties tag up the top left opened and a pic of the fourth tab across opened (one looks like a plotter knife). The pic you posted is only the plot page, the settings we need will hopefully be in the properties section. I don't have your program, but they are all much alike so hopefully we can work it out. Cheers Gary

I appreciate the help...That properties tab is just for selecting the plotter and the interface...it's attached none-the-less...as are all the others...including the knife tab.
Thanks again,
Mike

Try and check the "Enable Drivers Option" box and then go down to Pitch size and try 0.025 and see how far that closes the gap as I'm not sure of the "Pitch" on your blade....,My Roland is 0.025.
This area allows you to change downforce, speed etc as well.
Cheers Gary

To reset the plotter to factory default you first turn the machine off, press and hold the arrow up button and while holding down the arrow up button turn the machine back on.

Good Luck

Did you try this?

PS.Forgot to add to increase the value 0.005 each time until it closes.

It looks as though the overcut is turned off or set to 0.
