Blade Setting

[John Gregson]

Hi Garrie,
When replacing a blade have the point just sticking out a smidge so you can hardly see it and reduce your pressure a bit. Cut some simple squares, circles or fine text, it shouldn’t mark or cut through the back of the backing sheet, if it does you have too much pressure. On a new blade I find that weeding should be clean and an easy task.

I’d recommend a smart knife – no fuss at all and cheaper to get reground than buying a new knife.

Haven’t looked back since getting a couple.

Russell, though blades do sound a good idea 😀
