Roland SP300V - Cutting Force doesn't change

[Mike Paul]

New blade holder, new blade, blade extension most likely is the issue, gotta dial that in after making changes. Pressure from the software side or cutter side could be another issue.

Just went through this with my Graphtec plotter.

That’s also a lot of heavy material and laminate cutting over the years.

May have to take it to the Train Station…

Or would a new cut carriage head do the trick? I've messed around with settings considering the new blade, holder, etc. I just put a new print head in this machine so besides these inconsistent cuts it works great. Thanks!

At least once you have a known good cutting head you are starting from a good position and can then make any tweaks from there. The problem with trying to chase problems is if the existing part has a fault it is often hard to find out why it isn't working properly

Had you tried to have the blade stick out a bit from the holder and made sure the blade holder was securely tightened into the carriage and see if that helps at all?

Yes - I twisted the end of the holder to vary the amount of blade that is exposed (tried all different combos) and I routinely twist the knob to tighten the blade holder to ensure it is tight as I know it eventually loosens a bit.

Could your cut speed be a factor? Interested to hear what solution works for you.
