2.5.2.1 Physical knife depth tangential knife
Although very similar, there are two types of knife depth settings, one for normal cutting and
one for when FlexCut is used. What they have in common is that the knife is never turned out
a lot.
FIG 2-10
2-10 KNIFE DEPTH SETTING NORMAL CUTTING
For normal cutting the knife is turned out just a little bit more than the actual cutting depth,
so the knife tip just scratches the backing.Turning out the knife much further results in
unstable knife pressure and bad cutting quality.
FIG 2-11
2-11 KNIFE DEPTH SETTING CUTTING THROUGH
When performing FlexCut the knife is turned out just enough to cut through the vinyl and
backing. It is recommended to let the nose piece touch the media at full pressure.
