OFFSET ANGLE - Adjusting the Blade Offset Angle
Use this function to smooth curves on large characters or shapes. At the joints
of each line segment, the plotter stops cutting and very quickly rotates the blade
tip. This ensures the accurate cutting of the computer data. In some cases, it is
better to bypass this blade rotation and drag the blade in order to make the shape
smoother and to shorten overall cutting time. This action will result in a slightly
different shape from the original computer data.
With the OFFSET ANGLE function you may set the reference angle of connec-
tion and eliminate the blade control at the connections whose angles are under
that reference angle.
