I saw the github post from thunderkeys saying that raising the current to 1.7-1.8 is fine to start for cutting, but there is a voron post that says it should not exceed 70% of its peak current.
https://docs.vorondesign.com/community/howto/120decibell/calculating_driver_current.html
is this not an issue becasue the motor is only being run at that current for a short amount of time?
I just want to make sure I don't break anything.

Can you link the post you are referring to?
Personally I would not exceed 80 % of the motors rated current. But I also never saw the need for that. At least with stock configuration, Vorons run their X/Y steppers far below the rated maximum, so there's more than enough room to increase it for cutting.

Layer shift when using cut macro
If you notice a layer shift occurs while using the cut macro, setting a higher stepper current while cutting has shown to help with this. Update and uncomment the following values in AFC/AFC_Macr_Vars.cfg file
variable_cut_current_stepper_x - start with ~1.7-1.8A
variable_cut_current_stepper_y - start with ~1.7-1.8A
Only needed if cutting action is along the z - variable_cut_current_stepper_z
Make sure your stepper names are updated for variables: variable_cut_current_stepper_x, variable_cut_current_stepper_y, variable_cut_current_stepper_z

hmm
i can fix that recommendation.
i think i took it from other people posting in here

thanks for letting me know.
