can be pressed at any time during the settings of the parameters to check the
result.
The cutter will cut out a pattern to check if the settings are usable.
10.
Check if the result is the satisfactory. If not change one of the parameters above.
Reducing the velocity can also improve the result. It is never recommended to use
cutting speeds larger then 400mm/s (16 ips) with cutting pressures above 170 gr.
Note
: It is not always easy to find the correct balance between cutting deep enough
making sure the pieces can be taken out easily, and not cutting too deep making sure
the material keeps it strength while cutting. Sometimes this balance doesn’t exist
meaning that this material can’t be cut through with satisfactory result.
Note
: FlexCut parameters are always metric, regardless the value of the menu Units
parameter (see section on 4.3.20)
Note:
When cutting through, it is recommended that parallel lines are at least 1 cm
away from each other. Otherwise, while cutting the second line, the first line may come
loose and cause trouble.
