2.11 Suggested Cut Settings for Various Materials on Skycut
IMPORTANT: These settings should be used for the initial test cut. Adjustments may be necessary based on the condition of
the blade, variations in the material, humidity, condition of the cutting mat, blade tip height*, etc.
ALSO IMPORTANT: Do not use a Blade Ht.* greater than 15 Post-Its with a blue capped blade. It is very fragile!
* Blade Ht. = number of Post-It notes used to set blade tip distance above the material: Refer to Section 2.01.3.
