Warranty Replacement Machine Also Having Cut Through Issues

As @gewubs said, calibration has nothing to do with cutting ability.

Two suggestions:

  1. Making certain that the material tray is perfectly flat and level – no debris in the dimples underneath and the tray is seated in all four dimples.

  2. Making certain that the material itself is flat. My experience is that there’s “flat” then there’s FLAT . A very common gotcha is that even a visually undetectable warping of the material can cause issues out at the corners. If you tap on your material and hear a click or an hollow sound, it’s not FLAT .

Your best bet is to cut out a dozen or so Honeycomb Bed Holddown Pins and use them to make absolutely sure your material is firmly secured. I cut out a few from draftboard scraps leftover from various jobs – you cannot have too many of these. :sunglasses:

My cutting success skyrocketed when I adopted these as part of my workflow.

Best of luck!
