CNC STYLUS – QUICK START GUIDE V1.1
IMPORTANT: The blade should be set to extend from the cartridge system
the same distance as the thickness of the material you wish to cut. We would
recommend you measure the material but only include the layers you wish to
cut through.
For example, if you are cutting self-adhesive vinyl then you will need to ensure you are only
cutting through the top layer and not the backing paper. We would recommend testing the
blade height on a scrap piece of vinyl before committing to your project.
We have included a blade height jig which will allow you to clearly see how far the blade
extends from the cartridge.
To use the jig, hold the cartridge against the edge of flat face. This will allow you to clearly
see how far the blade extends from the cartridge and adjust, as necessary.
7.6 Mounting the vinyl cartridge
To fit the vinyl cartridge to the CNC Stylus, you will need to ensure you select the correct
collet size.
Please see the quick look up table in the collet sizes section
– Page 6.
Once you have selected the correct size collet, fit the collet to the collet nut. You can now
insert the vinyl cutting cartridge into the stylus. In the diagram below, you can see the part
of the assembly we need to clamp onto to effectively hold the cartridge.
