Question Im Cutting Flock: What are the best settings for a 60° Blade on a Roland GX 24

I'm trying to use DecoFlock or any other Flock Suede like material to a 100% polyester Hat

So, I'm aware i need to use a 60 degree blade for thicker materials like flock

What would be the best settings for a Roland Gx-24 and Flock Heat Applied Vinyl material, .50mm?

I cut flock and vinyl all the time on my GX. All I change is the blade and increase the force a touch, although I have just replaced my blade for a new one and it is cutting the the flock at 90g no problem whereas I was at about 110g with my old worn one.

I was told when i got training with my GX 24 to use the flock knife (60 degree blade) and to use 110g force same as i cut superflex etc.

Havent tried it yet to see if it 100% works but thats what i was told

I'm cutting a lot of flock (thermoflex for me) with my GX-24, my settings are:
Speed>25
Force>90
Blade>60°
Hope this help.
