If not then you can set it in the program. I think on your P-Cut (assuming that is what you have since you are in the PCUT section) you can set your blade offset on the cutter itself or at least my old P-Cut would, they may have changed since then. Once you get the pressure set you are then finally ready to dial in the other settings. If you go clear through you run the risk of blade damage as well as cutting strip. You will then want to do a test cut directly from the cutter to determine the pressure it will take to cut through the vinyl. Once you have it set then you should not need to adjust it again unless you happen to cut something much thicker.
Be very careful not to extend it too far when doing your hand test or you may snap a tip off and then have a very hard time ever getting it dialed in. There is a few references to half a credit card that are floating around and that is roughly 10 times too much. The single biggest newbie mistake is too much blade exposed. In a nutshell you need to remove your blade holder from the machine and manually cut across a scrap and determine that your blade is out far enough to cut through the vinyl but not long enough that it can cut through the backing. You may have seen MZ Skeeter's posts around the forum because she has posted literally thousands of times on it. Blade depth is the first and most important set-up and all the other settings are dependent on having the correct blade depth (blade exposure) setting.
