46 Chapter 4, Fine Tuning the Cutter
3. Make a manual test cut on a small piece of material of the same type
that you will be using.
4. Examine the test cut.
The top layer should be cut completely and you should be able to see
a slight scratch on the backing when peeling it off, but no scratches
from the underside of the backing.
5. Adjust the blade and make manual test cuts until you obtain the correct
depth.
Excessive blade exposure will adversely affect cutting quality, accelerate
blade wear, and possibly damage the cutter.
