Blade Angle – What should I use?

45° Blade (Recommended for Thin Skins)

  • Clean cuts on thin cast vinyl
  • Smooth curves and small details
  • Less stress on the liner
  • Easier weeding

Use for: standard device skins and thin materials.

60° Blade (Recommended for Thick Skins)

  • Better penetration on thicker or textured vinyl
  • Sharper corner definition
  • More stable cutting on heavy materials

Use for: premium, textured, or protective films.
Using a 60° blade on thin vinyl may cause over-cutting and liner damage.

Blade Depth Rule (Critical)

Regardless of blade angle:

  • Only the tip of the blade should be exposed
  • Blade must cut vinyl only, not the liner

Check:
You should barely feel the cut line on the backing paper.
