Brother ScanNCut CM350 & SDX125 - Scanning/Cutting Position Adjustment - Aligning your Cutting Blade
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- In this video, you will learn how to use the Scanning/Cutting Position Adjustment feature on your Brother Scan and Cut. I demonstrate this with the ScanNCut CM350 and the SDX125. I explain how to align your blade so that you get an even amount of space around your cut out stamped images or patterned paper.

Thanks for not forgetting about us with the 350 model
Oh Zina, I will never forget about you guys as long as my CM350 is working. I don't plan on getting rid of it even though someone offered to purchase it from me. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much. This video helped the white border is even on all sides. Thanks again for the informative videos.
Excellent! I love to hear that my viewers are getting positive results too. Thanks for watching.
The company ought to reward you somehow--in helping both SnC2 owners and SDX owners , you did not forget US (oldsters) and you are helping new owners, PLUS you are showing us the improvements in the SDX so that we may decide to upgrade at some point! WIN-WIN!! THANKS from the bottom of my heart!
Thanks so much for your comment. I don’t think that Brother even knows that I exist. They have never contacted me about my channel but they HAVE contacted me many times regarding tech support issues. I’m glad my viewers notice my efforts. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
🇦🇺👍 6.13 for dx Thanks for being here 🌟
Thanks Loretta! I love my whole fleet of ScanNCut machines. They help me with my crafting.
Thanks for the heads up on where do starts
Yay! I was able to set up the wireless, and successfully cut out stamped images after adjusting the alignment position! Fortunately, I did not have any issues with my mat. Thank you for your informative videos, I would not have had the courage to proceed without your guidance! 💜
Woo Hoo! The smell of sweet success! I'm happy for you and I'm praying that will be ME after I open my replacement machine.
You did the correct thing by saying NO on the right side. I can see it is off just enough to not be in a perfect position. You don't need to settle for just okay and a make do attitude. You deserve better than that.
I think my viewers were at a better angle than me because the camera was straight on. After 3 times, you will be happy to know that the position is correct. Now, I need to go back and try cutting out some cows and pigs to be sure but my cross-hairs are definitely aligned.
Thank you , I was able to align my SDX following your instructions. I’m finally getting somewhere with your help. Frustration level going down😀😀
That is what I like to hear. I go through the frustration first so that my viewers don't have to. LOL!
Papered Chef and we appreciate that, believe me. I’m sure I’ll be a constant watcher of your videos.
I love my CM350 so that is what I will use but it is great to have both machine side by side.
Thanks for the video and info.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked that approach. I would try it more often if my table wasn't always so full. Sorry I didn't reply sooner Terrie. I just saw your comment when I was searching.
Thanks for including both machines. Thanks for the instructions for centering, it's really an important to know. For what I do I think my 350 is enough for me. Looking forward to more videos.Thank you for sharing your expertise.
You are right. The CM350 is great and if it works, don't mess with it. You have a good thing going and it will do what you need. I love having new crafty tech toys and once my machine works correctly, I will be super excited and be able to share even more tutorials with you.
Congrats on reaching 10,000 subscribers. That's a huge milestone! -- Deanna
Thanks Deanna, it has taken several years. I hope to keep sharing for years to come.
Hey Kim! Glad to hear that Brother is sending you a new machine. Sure hope that it come's working with no problems. I agree with you about the position adjustment hopefully they will do an update to the machine that will allow use to do it like you can on your CM350. Looking forward to seeing how your new machine works !
You and me both. I can't wait to see what it does. After my last video and aligning my machine 3 times, I went to cut out the birds and the white space was not the same around all size. I was asking myself why I keep trying but until my replacement comes, I don't want to just give up.
@@PaperedChef Oh no Kim don't give up! Sure hope your new machine comes with no problems. I still think Brother should find a way to do a update that allows us to do the alignment adjustment like you can on your CM350. Can't wait to see how your new one works. Until then Happy Crafting my friend!
Kathy F I totally agree but once the machine features are set, it may be hard to reprogram them. As soon as the dust settles and my new machine works, I will be making some suggestions to Brother. One of them will be the ability to adjust the blade.
I've been Happy with my DX. Still need to learn how to set up the wireless internet cot. Glad they are replacing your machine. I think you got a lemon.
Oh I will be showing how to set up the wireless as I am setting up my wireless for the first time. That is the plan. Yes, my machine is a dud! Where was the QA inspector when this one was going down the line?
Thank you for putting the machines in front of each other. This gave me a good view to compare the screens. I was under the impression that the sdx had a much larger screen than the older models, but it looks like that this is not true. One more reason not to buy the new model. I will wait till they sort out all their problems.
I really wish they would have surveyed users like us. I would have loved a bigger screen so I could do more without having to use Brother Canvas Workspace. Still, I like some features of the new machine. At this point and until I see it cut better with my own eyes, I can’t recommend it. I still recommend the CM350 because the alignment is much more accurate and I like controlling the blade depth because I’ve been doing a better job than the Autoblade.
@@PaperedChef I am disappointed in the sales policy of Brother. I bought the CM 900 and only weeks later they came out with the wireless model without any prior announcement. If I had known I would have waited. Now they have this new model, but I get the impression it is rushed.
Pia Cathmoir Well if it is any consolation to you, my first machine wasn’t wireless and I spent a year going back and forth with the USB stick or thumb drive. The wireless on my new machine doesn’t work either but it works great on my CM350 or ScanNCut 2.
Thanks, Kim.
Anytime. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the 350 help.
Anytime. Sorry I didn't see this sooner. I appreciate your comment.
Thank you so much for all of your helpful videos using the Brother Scan and Cut. I have two of the CM 350s. The price has dropped to $215.00 on Walmart and Amazon so I don't think I'll be upgrading to the DX any time soon. I hope you will check out my exploding boxes that I make using the SNC over on my UA-cam channel or Instagram. I've been working on the design for several months. I've gotten so much help from your videos. Thank you so much! -- Deanna @ Confetti Cards by Deanna
Thanks for watching and I sure think it is smart to stick with your two little workhorses. I will definitely check your cards out.
i have the 350 and did all the steps but it is still not align. did it several times.do you have any idea why is the machine doing it? Thanks for the video.
Each machine has a personality. My CM models work better than my SDX models. There are a lot of factors. Check the position of your machine in the relation to your lighting. Also, try using different white card stock. You will eventually get it to align after moving it around and trying different things. I eventually get my SDX to align which is why I have confidence that you will too.
My problem I have with my 350 is that it seems like I have to realign the adjustment frequently. Also, why does it sometimes make a zigzaggy edge around some shapes when it's cutting out. Those are the two things that drive me crazy, otherwise I love the Scan and Cut. Sometimes I think I just look for something to cut out for the fun of it. :)
If you draw a smooth line around the edge of something, it will not have a zig zag edge. Zig zags are why I never color before cutting. That way, I get more crisp outlines. I have replaced my blade holder before when the machine started to do what you describe. There are springs in there and they wear out. Get a new blade and holder if you have used your holder a lot and you should be good to go. Stay Sharp with a new Blade: amzn.to/2t0S9Hv
When I try to adjust my blades the left side is back and I can't tell where to put the dot. The right side works fine. What am I doing wrong? TY
You can only adjust it on the CM models. The DX models auto adjust. Sometimes, you have to repeat the process several times to get great results.
Thanks for your honest opinions. I have a CRICUT Maker, but I am looking at getting a Scan N Cut to use instead of buying dies for my stamped images. What would be your recommendation of the machine I should look into getting?
Yes Deb, I tell it like it is. Thanks for watching. At this point in time and considering the hell I just went through in the past week with trying to get my mat to load, images to cut out correctly and wireless to connect - The CM350 is the winner. It is cheaper, the mats at cheaper and it just works. Of course you must by a wireless activation card in order to use the wireless capabilities. It is louder and you have to adjust the blade yourself. Still, it will work out of the box and you will love it. Here is my link if you don't mind using it. Thanks, ScanNCut2 CM350: amzn.to/2EcTuRF
Great video i have the 350 but when i print something like a font wording a lotta times it doesnt scan good i trace each letter with a no 2 pencil or sometimes a black marker n i doesnt get all the wording how can i make it darker to get all the letters n use the inside n outter outline to cut but i just cant get a good scan thank u
Have you tried making words out of the built in fonts on the machine or from Brother Canvas Workspace? The PC based version of Canvas Workspace lets you cut out fonts which are installed on your computer. It is amazing. I never scan and cut fonts. I use the built in ones because they cut perfectly. I use the pencil trick all of the time to makes lines darker as well so you are on the right track with that.
So your last video you said it only has to be 12inches wide but now you say it has yo be 12x12?
You can use a 24" inch mat but typically, your designs can't be more than 12" or a little less due to margins.
@@PaperedChef huh? Im talking about the card stock
@@sergioknuf Yes, you can cut any size less than the mat size. Here is how to change the cutting area. ua-cam.com/video/sLy1_hKlJwI/v-deo.html
@@PaperedChef im asking do i need 12x12 when im doing the aligning or can it be 12x something else
Hello! I have this issue with my SDX85S, it shows that the red dot is perfectly lining up to the cross, however when I cut it's always a off by 1mm/0.04" at least. I can't adjust anything just keep reloading and running the adjustment again and again... any other ideas how can this be fixed? Thank you
Hi! Dod you find a solution?
@@VeganGaymer No :(

Thank you, im having the same issue with mine and its been repaired! 😡
We are all in the same big boat, bailing out buckets of water. I hope we all get our machines fixed soon so that we can enjoy this experience.
