The machine’s default cutting speed is 200, and this setting delivers good cutting performance in most cases. Reduce the speed only when the material or cutting job calls for it, particularly with large-size materials or materials that have thicker, softer, or sensitive adhesive layers. For large-size cutting, 50 is a documented example of a lower setting. Slower cutting can help prevent errors and support complete cuts, smooth edges, and stable cutting.
When to Keep the Default Speed
For the majority of materials, keep the cutting speed at the default value of 200. No speed reduction is generally needed when the material does not present the large-size or adhesive-layer conditions described here. The default is intended to provide good cutting performance for normal cutting situations.
The speed does not need to be lowered simply as a standard practice. Instead, the decision should be based on the size of the material and the properties of its adhesive layer.
Conditions That May Require a Slower Speed
Large-size materials may benefit from a lower cutting speed to help prevent cutting errors. Large-size films for devices such as tablets or laptops are examples of this condition. A speed of 50 is one documented example for large-size cutting, rather than the standard setting for every job.
A slower speed may also be appropriate for materials with special adhesive layers. Thicker or softer adhesive layers can require slower cutting to support complete cuts and smooth edges. Materials with sensitive adhesive layers may also benefit from reduced speed to improve cutting stability and protect the material.
How to Select the Setting
- Use the default cutting speed of 200 for most materials.
- Check whether the material is large-size, including films intended for tablets or laptops.
- Consider whether the material has a thicker, softer, or sensitive adhesive layer.
- Reduce the speed when one of these special conditions applies; for large-size materials, 50 is an example setting.
This selection keeps the default value as the normal choice while reserving lower speeds for the documented material and size conditions.
Common Questions
Is 50 the normal cutting speed?
No. The normal default speed is 200. A setting of 50 is an example of a reduced speed for large-size materials where lowering the speed can help prevent cutting errors.
Does every adhesive-backed material need a slower speed?
No. A slower speed is specifically relevant to special adhesive layers, including those that are thicker, softer, or sensitive. Most materials can continue to use the default speed of 200.
