Changing the Blade in the Blade Cartridge

Loosen the Cartridge Release knob.

Pull out the Blade Cartridge.

Remove the Cover from the Blade Cartridge.

Replace the blade, making sure that the blade aligns to the first notch.

Replace the cover to the Blade Cartridge, allowing the magnet to snap onto the Blade.

Insert the Blade Cartridge keeping the protruding Blade Depth Adjustment Thumbwheel on the right side.

Tighten the Cartridge Release knob to lock it in place.

Adjusting the Acrylic/Blade/Glass Depth

Loosen the Cartridge Release knob.

Loosen the 1/16” set screw on the Blade Depth Adjustment Thumbwheel.

Turn the Blade Depth Adjustment Thumbwheel to adjust the cartridge depth. The Blade Depth Adjustment Thumbwheel controls the depth of the acrylic/blade/glass cutter by impeding how far the cartridge can be inserted into the head.

Note that the (Optional) Composite Cartridge has no depth adjustment. See the desired tool for optimum depth further down in this document:

  • Setting Acrylic Depth

  • Setting Blade Depth

  • Setting Glass Depth

Push the cartridge into the cutting head to re-measure how far the cartridge tool is located in reference to the material being cut.

Once the desired blade depth is set, tighten but don’t over-tighten the 1/16” set screw on the blade depth thumb wheel to lock it into place.

Press the cartridge into the head and tighten the Cartridge Release knob.

Setting Blade Depth

The Blade Cartridge depth should extend the blade past the vertical board rail, and should extend past the thickness being cut.
