Cutforce diminished on far left XR-640

[Hulleman]

Hey guys!

So one of my XR-640 has diminished cutforce on the last 500mm (left side). Doing 720mm vinyl goes great but when trying to go for 1300mm the left part has a diminished cutforce.

Any hints and tips?

Thank you in advance!

Not sure, but a couple of things to check for trouble shooting:
1. Is the blade getting old/worn
2. Are you using all the clamping wheels to hold the media
3. Are the clamping wheels aligned properly over the grit wheels
4. How old are the clamping wheels

One thing we ran into is worn clamping wheels. When replacing, remember the the two outermost are slightly larger diameter than the inner ones. If you miss this, then the media will not be held evenly and the result would be cutting force would appear uneven. Someone else may have better suggestions, but this is where I would start.

Thank you,
1. New blade (Cuts perfectly on the right side)
2. No I am not, just the outer ones.
3. Have to check alignment.
4. Probably too old, will order new ones anyways.
