Your cut quality depends on how stable that contact point stays while the web is moving, tension is changing, and the knife stack is seeing vibration.<\/p><p>Two practical rules follow:<\/p><ul><li>You want\u00a0<strong>just enough engagement<\/strong>\u00a0to shear the web cleanly.<\/li>\n\n<li>You want\u00a0<strong>as little force as possible<\/strong>\u00a0to keep that engagement stable.<\/li><\/ul><p>When the cut point wanders (runout, spacer error, vibration) or the engagement is excessive (too much overlap\/side load), you often see the same symptoms: dust, fuzz, heat, premature wear, and width variation.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2da26d96-2e2c-4550-b596-c12c6b768e8e\">Cant angle, overlap, side load roles<\/h3><p>Think of these three as a ladder.
