■ Types and Features of Cutter Blades
■ Cutter-Pen Construction
The cutting plotter cuts using a cutter blade mounted in a cutter-pen plunger. There are two different cutter-
pen plungers to suit the diameter of the cutter blade to be mounted (the 0.9-mm cutter-pen plunger is pro-
vided as standard equipment). Be sure to mount the cutter blade in the corresponding cutter-pen plunger.
