Running Cutting Tests

Test cutting can be performed after making the tool, speed, force, and acceleration settings to ensure that the

selected cutting conditions actually produce the desired cutting results. Check how far the blade cuts into the

media and how the corners are being cut. If the cutting results are not satisfactory, adjust the various settings and

repeat the test cutting until the optimal settings are achieved.
