Refine Vinyl Cutter Doesn’t Close Shapes When Cutting Even Though Offset Is Set Correctly
Symptoms: While cutting closed shapes like circles, or squares the cutter leaves minute pieces of vinyl uncut that makes weeding difficult. This is a repeatable condition. (i.e. If you cut the same file 10 times, it will leave it uncut in the same place 10 times.)
Solution: This problem is not related to the offset of the blade, but is important that for accurate cuts, you have the offset correct before using this solution! See our guide on Setting the Blade Offset for your cutter.
- Make sure your blade offset is correctly set.
- Open up the Settings in your cutting software. We’ll use SignCut X2 for example here.
- From the Settings Menu, Select Settings, or hit this button from the top toolbar:
- There is a setting in the middle called “Overcut”. Increase this setting until your cutter no longer leaves pieces uncut. My Refine MH-1351 needed .1 once all was said and done.
