Click the Cut Speeds button to open the Cut Speeds screen.
Use the Cut Speeds screen to select the Cutting Speed for each of the individual licensed Cartridges.
A Cartridge is the physical component that holds the Blade, Deboss Stylus, Pen or other application tool.
Enter the desired Cut Speed Percentage for each Cartridge type.
100% is cutting at Full Speed.
50% is cutting at Half Speed.
When that particular Cartridge is used next, it will use the new Cut Speed entered.
Slowing down the cut speed can help when cutting intricate designs to help prevent the Head from skipping on tight corners.
See Also: Variable Pressure Optimization (VPO) for more information.
This example shows that the 90 Degree Cartridge will cut at 50% speed.
This is a feature of the VPO Head; not all CMC models have this feature.
Click Dense Material if this is dense material and Click OK.

See Also: Adjusting the Air Pressure for Dense Matboard for more information.
Click Extra Dense Material if this is extra dense material and you are cutting it with the 90° Cartridge.
Adjust the speed slidebar below the Extra Dense Material checkbox to the desired Cutting Speed Percentage and click OK.
For instance, 50% is 50% of the standard Cutting Speed.

Select No Automatic Speed Reduction for Depth of 16 and Above if you do not want the CMC to reduce speed when cutting thicker material.
Unselect No Automatic Speed Reduction for Depth of 16 and Above to let the CMC automatically reduce speed when cutting thicker material.
NOTE: Depending upon the thickness and density of the matboard, you may get better cuts by slowing down the cuts.
