Setup for Cutting

Performing a Test Cut [CAMMJET ONLY]

Use the [ ] , [ ] , [ ] and [ ] keys to move the tool carriage to the place where the test cutting is to be performed.

3 Press the [TEST CUT] key for 1 second or longer.

Test cutting starts.

4 Examine the cutting results for the material and diagnose the cutting conditions.

(1) Peel off the round section (marked by ).

When it can be peeled by itself, without disturbing the square (marked by ), the cutter force is set appropriately.

If it peels, either the “blade force” or the “amount of blade extension” is insufficient.

(2) Remove the square section (marked by ).

The optimum blade pressure is correct if you can clearly make out the lines left by the blade.

If the blade trace is indistinct or too strong, you need to adjust the “blade force” or the

“amount of blade extension.”

(3) Check the shape of the rectangle.

- If the corners are cut securely as shown in A, there conditions are correct.

- If the corners are rounded as shown in B, the “blade offset” is insufficient.

- If the corners have “horns” as shown in C, the “blade offset” is too large
