The Dreaded Skewing

by | Jun 21, 2008 | Skewing

Ten things that can cause skewing on a Klic-N-Kut.

(1) Pinch wheels are too loose.

(2) One pinch wheel is a lot tighter than the other.

(3) Pinch wheels are too close together.

(4) One or both pinch wheels are over the smooth part of the grit shaft.

(5) Cut speed is too fast for the material being cut

(6) Blade is too long (thus digging into mat).

(7) Mat is too thin for the cutter.

(8) Something is interfering with the movement of the mat during cutting.

(9) Bad or damaged pinch wheel.

(10) Grit shaft was damaged during shipping (FedEx and UPS treat the boxes horribly).
