8-Ply: Increasing the Head Pressure and Speed Reduction to Cut Dense 8-Ply with the 45°+ Cartridge

These instructions will walk you through increasing the Head Pressure and setting Speed Reduction to cut 8-Ply Matboard with the 45°+ Cartridge.

The Head Air Regulator is located on the left side of the Head and controls the Air Pressure of the Footblock against the matboard as it is cutting.  

• The Minimum operating Air Pressure is 30 psi.

• The Maximum Air Pressure should be less than 60 psi to avoid crushing the matboard.   

The software will prompt for a Head pressure change only if the current mat is a different setting than the previously cut mat. If the settings are the same as the previously cut mat, the CMC will skip the following instructions and proceed to cut the mat.

Select the desired layer on the Cut Preview.

Click the Cut Speeds button to open the Cut Speeds Screen.
