2.7 Cutting Test
In order to carry out cutting optimally, it is necessary to set cutting conditions that match the sheet, giving
consideration to the sheet's thickness and type of material. The PNC-1050 can perform a cutting test to check
the cutting conditions. Please set cutting conditions that are appropriate for the type of sheet being used.
Procedure
1. Load the sheet. Using the
and
keys on the panel, move the tool carriage to the position on the sheet
where you wish to make the test cutout.
* Note that an area of approximately 2 square centimeters (a little less than a square inch) is required to
make a test cutout (given that the tip of the blade after it has moved is at the origin at lower-left).

selected shape is then cut, with the origin point at the center. When performing these three cutting tests, it
is recommended that the same origin point be used for each.

4. First, peel off the circular area (
1234
1234
), making sure that it peels off without peeling off the square area
(

). B
5. Then peel off the square area (
1234567
1234567
1234567
). Speed and force are appropriate if there is only a slight trail left on
the base paper by the cutter. C
6. The remaining cross-shaped area is used to check whether the offset value is set correctly. When the offset
value has been correctly set, the corners of the figure should appear cleanly cut as shown in
1
of the figure
below. If the offset value is too small, the corners will appear slightly rounded as illustrated by
2
; an offset
value which is too large will result in a cut figure similar to
3
.
