The Roland DG CAMM-1 GS-24 is a very precise desktop cutter that offers great stability, up to 10x overlap cutting and down force of up to 350 grams so that you can cut thick material up to 1 mm. thickness.
Due to prise and effective cutting, it’s possible to run the machine for 5 times on a pattern to get job done if the material is not very soft.
You can find more specification here.
Let’s learn how to load material and set the machine for proper cutting.
Origin – If the blade is too close to the material edge, press the down arow to move the material forward. Then press and hold ORIGIN button on the Roland to re-set the starting point of your design.
After you load your material, the Control Panel is used to set parameters of each cut. It has many features. Most designs require you to set only 3 main options:
·
2.1 MATERIAL:
After you lock your material in place, Roland will prompt you to select MATERIAL.
2.2 FORCE:
To adjust the force, select the FORCE button on the Roland head.
2.3 SPEED:
To adjust speed settings using the control panel.
Best Practices
Cutting Mat
Always use a cutting mat to load cardstock, paper or any material that does not have a backing.Roll vs Edge vs Piece: What’s the difference?
For ROLL or EDGE, the machine will measure the distance between the wheels to obtain width and assume you know the length. If you select PIECE, the machine will measure width and length by moving the material forward until it detects the end.Control Panel vs. CutStudio
MATERIAL type must be set using the control panel. FORCE and SPEED can be set either using the machine or directly in Roland’s CutStudio software.See bottom of this page for suggested settings.
Below lists the optimal blade settings by application. These are general guidelines only and it is always recommended to send a cut test before sending any jobs.
NOTE * Glitter cardstock/Coverstock should be loaded face up (glitter up) onto a cutting mat.
