Creation PCUT CB 730 (New Aug 2011)

[Stuart Macfarlane]

PS: Here are my new settings that seem to cut 1cm letters perfectly!

Software
Offset: 0.030cm
Overcut: 0.060cm

Hardware
Cutter Speed: 0005
Cutter Force: 410

The above settings are used in combination with JAC Serical range of vinyl but obviously may vary depending on your material and blade depth.

I set my blade by eye and using a credit or debit card make sure it sticks out no further then the full width of the card.

Your welcome Robert, I hope they help as I feel this will be the definitive replacement for the old budget CT 630 that is widely sold at the moment.

As mentioned above if anyone has any problems what so ever just drop a reply to this thread and I will try to assist to the best of my ability in helping you get setup.

hi there,

i bought one of these after have both the old cream one and the black and red one.

only prob im having at the moment is the cutting depth its on 100 (thats the lowest) and the blade is only sticking out a small bit and its still cutting through 😕

Hi Jason,

Only three things spring to mind:

1) What is your Cutter Force set to?

2) Are the fans turning on when the machine starts to cut? These fans actually suck the vinyl down keeping it as good as flat.

3) Try reducing the blade by a quarter or even half turn, As a measurement I put a credit card up against mine and its only sticking out 1/2 the thickness of a credit card!

Hope that helps you start trouble shooting!

Thanks Jason

Hi Jason,

Depends on what software your using… I personally use FlexiSign because its what I’ve been using for many years now.

Hi Stuart.
I’m hoping you maybe able to help me, eight weeks ago I brought a PCUT CB 730 but before I could set it up I ended up in hospital, now I’m ready to set it up I find I’ve got no driver disk, I went back to the shop only to find it was burnt out in the riots and is on longer trading,, and just to add to my luck the drivers on the Creation web site don’t work, I’m hoping you may know someone in the UK that has the drivers to download.
Kind Regards
Kevin Cleary
