Holy Cow! I was way too far out on the blade. Thanks for the tip.

Great video!! Can you give a little more in depth information regarding pros and cons of 40 vs 60 degree blade. What would determine which use?

I do not know anything about the science of the blade technicalities, but the blade supplier should state what off-set the blade they supplied should be set up with.

Do not adjust the off-set of the blade to suit different material, you will need to change the blade to suit different material and set up that blades off-set into your machine.

Hope this helps

I meant "diameter" of course...

Josh, can you explain a bit more about offset please?

Ross from Clean Cut Blade told me that as long as the dimater of the blade stays the same, the offset is also the same.

Offset = distance from center of the blade to the tip of the blade which equals half the diameter of your blade thickness. That distance stays the same whichever angle you're using. It's only when you start cutting thicker materials that the offset is changing.

sorry, forgot to tell you..i have a creation cutter. the guy i bought it from couldnt help me with that issue

[atelko]

hi, i got a new cutter, but rounded shapes dont get cut round. the are oval or have creepy round lines.

i tried to change the offsett settings, as i read somewhere it would solve the problem, but it didnt. there were no changes at all.

i am using signcut software. do you know what to do?

Hello, great video and information. I wanted to know, if a Roland cutter could cut other materials other than vynil? (paper, cardstock, transfer paper, generally paper media) I have a Roland Stika SX15, very old school...
