Quick question about Q100 with flexi

[midnightmadman]

In the cutter driver properties there is

pressure
FD- ? 0-35
speed

What is FD? I am thinking forward drive? But how do I know where to set that and what does it exactly do?

 

[Cramiekske]

FD = Force down, so the pressure you'll put on the knife when it hits the substrate.

Cheers

Oh. I see. So I have been running at about 15 pressure and the full 35 FD. Is that why I may be getting a vibration when it cuts?
How do I figure out where I want the FD?
By default the FD comes set at 35 from what I remember.

Are you making your adjustment at the plotter or in Production Manager?
