Graphtec ce 7000-60 help

[Khristine]

Hi there! Purchased a Graphtec 7000 last fall for the sole purpose of making/cutting my own stencils. Does anyone here use this machine for this purpose? The more I use it the more I think it's for vinyl only. TIA

that machine likely will have a harder time with stencil material - what is the material name and thickness you are trying to cut?

I am trying to cut Graphix Duralar clear film in both .003" and .005" thickness.

I asked this question in the Graphtec forum, but with respond here.
Again, my physical experience with this machine is non-existent (used a VP540 previously) but the specs indicate a max thickness of .63mm (.025”) which appears 5x thicker than the material you’re using, although they do specify their particular Graphtec rhinestone stencil.
In the absence of any real world input, you may want to experiment with a mix of speed, acceleration and pressure with the correct blade. I hope you get the answers you’re seeking.
Edit: finger trouble.
