Hi everyone,

Yes I am a newbie and all that implies. What i need help with is my r31 series cutter. I know it is a starter cutter but that is what my entry level monies will allow right now. I am trying to cut rhinestone templates and need to know what speed and pressure most people are finding acceptable. I can't seem to hit that perfect mix! How many passes should i be using? Please help someone. I cant seem to get it to cut enough to be able to weed it. sometimes it doesnt cut complete circles but i am working that out but i just cant seem to get a clean cut through. I am using a 60 degree blade also.

I don't have your type of cutter, but you may want to check and see if your blade is out far enough for it to go through the thickness of your rhinestone template material. I have my cutter set do two passes.

your blade should normally be out about half the thickness of a credit card. You should also be using a 60 degree blade...suggest one from Clean Cut Blade they are super and out last OEM.. try two passes...but first to a small test cut..most cutters have that function built in. If you are using a 45 degree blade, you will not do very well
