Cutter Pen Construction
The cutting plotter cuts using a cutter blade mounted in a cutter-pen plunger. There are two
different cutter-pen plungers to suit the diameter of the cutter blade to be mounted (the 0.9-mm
cutter-pen plunger is provided as standard equipment). Be sure to mount the cutter blade in the
corresponding cutter-pen plunger.
