Force
To set the force of the active tool. Tool force (cutting pressure) is the amount of downward
pressure that the cutter applies on the knife / pen. We merely want to point out that you have
to cut your design with the lowest possible pressure that gives no trouble to weed. Some
media require only 20 grams to be cut completely through. In that case there is no need to
apply 100 grams of pressure.
Too much pressure can cause a decrease of quality. For cutting through applications we
recommend 250 grams. The same principle as for contour cutting, the lowest possible
pressure is advised, not only for the output quality but also for the lifetime of the cutting mat.
Be sure that the knife depth is set correctly.
