  Cutter Speeds

  Posted by Timmy Mallet on 29 September 2003 at 22:00

  Do most of you leave your cutter on one speed or change it for different size jobs. I seem to have got lazzy and leave mine on a middling speed…

  Just currious

  I tend to leave my cutter at it’s default setting – i.e flat out.

  I have tried slowing it down for certain jobs, but tend to forget I can alter the speed so I leave it as it is most times. 😀

  I only slow mine right down to cut screen process printing stencil film as it curls and could get caught up in the plotter head.

  Makes a mess of the film and jams the plotter 👿

  Hi All!

  I have an old Roland CAMM1 PNC900 plotter, and I would like set the cutting speed less than 1cm/sec (0.25-0.5cm/sec for a special cutting test). The minimum speed of the original CAMM1 driver is 1cm/sec. 😕

  Thanks for any advice!

  Timmy,

  I use a Mutoh SC1300 which I leave on 50% of maximum speed unless I am cutting either reflective, thick polyester film or sandblast material in which case I turn it down to 20%.
  It’s plenty fast enough for me and I was told by the service engineer that it makes for much less wear and tear on the components if you run it slower.
