The Mimaki Sandblast 60 is a carbide vinyl cutter blade with a 60 degree cutting angle and a 0.75mm offset for Mimaki cutting plotters. Also compatible with DGI and New Star cutters. It is sold as a single blade or as a 5 pack.
When to use this blade
Use a 60 degree blade for thick or sandblast stencil material and heavy reflective sheeting. The steeper angle gives a longer cutting edge in the material, so it gets through thick stock cleanly without the extra down force that wears a 45 degree blade and can tear the liner. For everyday calendered and cast sign vinyl, the Mimaki Standard 45 is the normal blade and the better value. Keep this one for the heavy material jobs.
Compatibility and specs
Fits Mimaki cutters, and also DGI and New Star. Angle 60 degrees, offset 0.75mm, carbide. This blade fits the PerfectCut Mimaki Blade Holder. Blade offset is the distance from the center of the blade shaft to the cutting tip, and the cutter or its software needs the same value entered so corners close cleanly. Set the offset to match this blade and check a small test cut before running a job. On sandblast stencil, set the depth so the blade scores but does not cut through the liner, then confirm on a test piece before the full run.
