Joyce,
A little trick to setting the right depth of the cutter.
take two small pieces of the plastic to cut tape one onto the top of the other leaving 1/4 inch on the edge sort of like a step.
Hold the higher piece up against the nose cone and drop your Parallel cutter to the lower piece and tighten it.
Be sure to set your nose cone to the surface of the material and you will cut through just the single sheet of plastic.
