  • Revised Settings For Cutting

    This is a GUIDE to help you get close to the settings for cutting on the Inspiration. It is by no means hard and fast, you will have to tweek it for yourself since humidity and brands of material can make a difference. This is an ongoing project so I will add information as it becomes available. If you have settings to add please post them here, I will attempt to confirm your settings and then post them in the guide.
