Why Is My Silhouette Cutting All the Way Through?

Silhouette cutting is a popular type of craftwork that uses a specialized machine to accurately and precisely cut out intricate designs from a range of materials. This type of cutting is used for scrapbooking, paper crafting, vinyl decals, and more. But why is it that sometimes your Silhouette cutting machine is cutting all the way through the material you are trying to cut out?

This problem can have a few different causes. The most common issue is that the blade depth may be set too deep. When the blade depth is too high, it can cause the machine to cut through more layers than intended.

To adjust the blade depth, consult your user manual or search online for instructions specific to your model of Silhouette.

Another possibility is that the speed of the blade may be set too high for your particular material. If you are using thin or delicate materials, you may need to lower the speed in order to avoid having it cut all the way through. Once again, consult your user manual or search online for instructions specific to your model.

Finally, if you are using thicker materials such as cardstock or foam board, it’s possible that there may be inconsistencies in how thick each sheet of material is which can cause some sheets to be cut all the way through while others are only partially cut. If this is happening, try using a thicker sheet of material or adjusting your blade depth higher.

Conclusion:
The main causes of Silhouette cutting machines cutting all the way through materials are incorrect settings such as blade depth being set too deep or speed being set too high and inconsistencies in how thick each sheet of material is. To fix this issue make sure you consult your user manual or search online for instructions specific to your model and ensure that any thicker materials are consistent in their thickness before attempting to cut them with a Silhouette machine.
