• Currently it is recommended that a Blade Offset of 0.3 be used for all SOLO blades.
• Overcut is related to Blade Offset in that it isn’t needed when using a pen because the tip is aligned with
the center of the pen. However, leaving Overcut at 0 when using a blade will result in large shapes not quite
closing:
• In general, the blade type doesn’t greatly affect the Overcut required. Try using 1.00 mm. In the event you
cut a large closed shape, like an 8” circle, you may find that you’ll need to increase Overcut to 2.00 mm.
2.04.4 Multi-Cut
• The Multi-cut setting (also referred to as Passes) causes each individual path to be cut the set number of
times before the blade moves to the next path to cut. This is better than just repeating the entire cut as each
repeated pass is cut with the blade held down throughout the repeated passes, resulting in cleaner cutting.
• In general, when increasing Multi-Cut, the Pressure setting can be decreased. For example, you may find
a cardstock that requires a Pressure of 55 to cut in a single pass will only need a Pressure of 45 if cutting
in two passes.
• Multi-cut is recommended in the following situations:
Cutting thicker denser materials, such as chipboard, where multiple passes allow the blade to
progressively “carve” through the material
Cutting certain fibrous materials, such as fabric, where a second pass will ensure that all of the fibers
have been cleanly cut
Cutting intricate or detailed shapes (such as script titles) from certain materials, such as heavy or
textured cardstock, where a single pass may leave certain spots not cleanly cut
Cutting rhinestone template material where a second pass results in much cleaner weeding of the cut
circles
In CREATE’s Cut Settings window, change the Multi-cut setting according to the number of passes
desired:
2.05 Presets
• Presets allow you to save your settings for a particular material or blade type. To do this, enter the settings
you wish to save. Then click on the “+” to the right of <Custom Preset>:
