How to Use the LOKLiK Cutting Machine

Let me show you have to use the LOKLiK Cutting Machine!

This machine is great for hobbyists and crafters of all skill levels.

It has the ability to cut precisely as well as draw.

LOKLiK Cutting Machine comes with 2 of each depths of cutting blades:

The fine cutting blade, 45 degree angle.

And the deep cut cutting blade, 60 degree angle.

It arrives with the tool holders/housings not snapped into the device.

The pen clamp is the left side and the blade clamp is the right side.

But it is super simple to insert a blade into the housing.

Then simply pull back the tab, insert the housing into the LOKLiK Cutting Machine and snap the tab back in place.

Start by downloading the LoklikIdeaStudio and register an account by entering your email and creating a password.

Then open up the software and begin by calibrating your machine.

It will need to print a test page, so make sure you have printer access.

Then follow the prompts on the software and insert the page for cutting.

Select the number on each quadrant that was the most precise and then the machine is calibrated.

If your canvas screen in the software is not in the increments you desire, simply right click on the canvas and change your measurements.

It took me way too long to figure out how to make it into inches!

The LOKLiK Cutting Machine comes in white, LOKLiK blue, denim blue, and romance pink.

It's easy to apply adhesive vinyl to the mat and press the <> button to insert the mat into the machine.

The machine cuts very quietly and was pretty fast too.

I love that I can do a complete craft in just a couple minutes!

Then weed the excess adhesive vinyl and place transfer tape on top of it.

Then peel off the backing and apply it to your desired surface.

I'm using a ceramic mug.

Then peel off the transfer tape and it's done!

I love being able to make custom gifts and personalized elements!

Here's some things I love about the machine:

Easy to use.
Software is easy to navigate.
Quiet cutting.
Ability to cut and draw.
Big space for storage and tools
4 Buttons for use (Power, Pause, Insert Mat and Play).
Plugs in on the side of the machine so it can rest against a wall when not in use. (favorite feature!)

Here's my cons:

It costs nearly the same as competitors (about just $20 less without coupon--but it's $54 less with the amazon coupon now)
Software has lots of free images, but many have misspellings or strange designs that I would not use anyway.
No magnet or smaller compartment for the small additional blades. (I just put mine in a small baggie)
