45 or 60 degree?

[ams]

I can't remember if its better to use a 45 or a 60 for cutting Oracal reflective, I am pretty sure it's 60 degree at about 120 force, does that sound right?

120 force????

 

[ams]

Yeah maybe 80 would be better. It's been too long.

We actually run a 45 here.

60 degree blade at 80 force.

Thanks

60 degree blade and always run the test cut from the plotter, apply the pressure needed, then cut your sign.

Test cuts are our safety line!

45 for reflective should be fine; it's not that thick. More pressure should help since it's a more rigid material.

IMO, blade angle is for thinner vs thicker material.

Yeah I think the 60 is designed for things such as Multi-Lens vinyl which is mega thick.

Never used sandblast masks, don't even know what it's for
