That didnt go according to plan. It first cut out the inner bits, like the centre of letters, etc. Then randomly starting the other bits on the wrong part of the vinyl, lol.
Will reducing the offset down to 0.20 help with the last few bits that are not getting cut properly or should i play around with force/blade depth now its on 0.25?
well the optimum is .25 you can try that but most offsets are determined by blade manufacturers and hold a recomendation on the offset,, you have tried .25 and .30 go to the .20 and the .35 on down force machines are different but I go on rule of thumb at proper blade depth the down pressure should be around 60 grams, at this point you have all the knowledge almost there is to know and it is just a matter of dialing it in, also I have seen new blades that have nicks in them from manufacturing or defective in some way,,,, I would look at clean cut blades they are the best and last forever, pm me for the URL as some people here of late have been getting their hands slapped for dropping web sites.
Ok also when weeding.. . try this.. with your exacto.. cut a line between the lines so you are only weeding one line at a time..
I do this when I am having trouble getting it to weed correctly..
also.. the general rule for weeding the outside area off.. is if its text start pulling the vinyl off from the top right corner..
If its numbers pull from the left side..
it has to do with the openings in the letters..and numbers.. and works best that way 99% of the time

Hi, I've just purchased a foison C24 as well. I am doing text. The height of the text is 1 cm. My cutter is set to
V= 150mm
f=41
and it's weeding well.
As I am only learning I can't give you much help as I won't know what I'm talking about LOL but those settings work fine for me. Hope it helps in some way.
