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.

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.
