2.05 Multi-Cut
The
Multi-Cut
setting causes each individual path to be cut the set number of passes 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.
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 of certain fibrous materials, such as fabric, where a second pass will insure that all of the fibers
have been cleanly cut
Cutting intricate or detailed shapes (such as scripty titles) from certain materials, such as heavily
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.
2.06 Blade Offset
The recommended
Blade Offset
for most cutting, with both the 45
o
and the 60
o
blades, is 0.25. For the
fabric blade, an offset of 0.4 is recommended. When drawing with a pen or engraving, set the
Blade Offset
to 0. This setting is found in the settings control window:
2.07 Cut Type
There are three modes in controlling where images will cut to the ACS-24UHF. They are called:
Knife Point
: Moves the shapes to cut at the origin you have set on the cutter itself. Use the blade tip to
set the origin for cutting.
WYSIWYG:
Cuts the shapes where they are positioned on the
Virtual Mat.
Use the laser light to set the
origin- either at the corner of the cutting mat or the corner of the material (as described later in this
section).
Print and Cut:
Cuts shapes relative to registration marks printed on your printer. Refer to Chapter 9 for
complete instructions on the print and cut process.
Knife Point
This is the mode recommended for most applications as it economizes the use of your cutting materials.
Set the number of
Multi-cut
passes to cut each path.
(Settings from 1 to 10)
