Not cutting the right output from file

Post by lindseym84 »

Hello
I updated to SCAL 6 PRO from SCAL 3 PRO (yikes).
I cut my first few on my vinyl - mainly letters, it's cutting the letter but it's making these weird shapes (almost bumps) at each turn you can see the vinyl below vs. what I have as myt SVG:

any ideas on what I need to do to fix this?

That's what happens when too large of a Blade Offset is used. Assuming that 1. you've not made any changes to the cutter itself and 2. you still have SCAL3 installed, please go to the Cut Settings window and check the Blade Offset in use there. Then compare to the same in SCAL6 Pro.

And if you still can't figure it out, please post the exact Brand and Model of cutter you're using. Also, post photos from the Cut Settings window in both SCAL versions.
