Hi Guy's
I have looked around on the forum not finding info on my problem just got the scribe tool setup in sheet cam when I run a program it will go down and touch the plate very lightly will not compress the tip so the scribe lines are barley visible, I know I don't have something set up right but not sure what it is any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Dean

Sorry for the delay, just logged back on and saw this. If your cut height is set to -0.001 and things are working like you would expect then you are compressing the tip .001 which would provide almost no down force, it's barely even touching. Have you tried setting your cut height to something like -0.250" to compress the tip .250" and put more pressure into the material? Compress that tip as much as you can up to 90% of its total stroke.
