3.4 Setting the correct knife depth
Adjusting the knife depth is a very important parameter when it comes to making high quality
outputs.
First of all you will need to decide whether to cut your job in single or multi tool mode before
you are able to set the knife depth correctly. Refer to the table below for the different
possibilities and which knife depth to set.
Refer to Cut through on page102
for even more details.
3.4.1 Contour cutting knife depth
Always make sure that the knife blade protrudes enough out of the knife holder, but not too
much. The knife top should just leave a mark on the backing.
