I was wondering why I have been having such a hard time being creative after that time. I guess it is because I cant see a lobste...

Re: Steps Per Inch Question.

Re: Drag Knife Offset

about two and a half years ago I was working on this same problem. When you get it set up you could use any program that will print to a plotter and make it work on our machines. The vectric program is Not what makes the over cut. What you have to do is have the cutter driver add the over run offset...
