Same as above about a foot through and line up with the grooves. If I know its a long run I sometimes just adavnce it all the way to make sure it does not run off the end, I have had a bad roll already, and the just barly lift the pinch wheels and let it run back to the start of the roll. LOVE the GRAPHTEC!!!!!!!

I agree with you on loving it, Blue... I cut 50 decals on Friday for a fire station which would of normally taken me atleast an hour if not more to weed with my refine or pcut. I timed myself and it was a total for 12 minutes to weed all 50 decals! Now talk about be productive!!!

Thanks for the info Jon... prior to see the picture, I thought you were using the end caps to slide the roll of vinyl onto the metal roller. I guess I could get the stay effect if I just used a allen set screw versus the provided thumbs screws(which kept getting caught on the vinyl roll.

Thanks, Jon. I think coming up with a way to keep my rolls of vinyl from walking  is my biggest problem right now.  I thought someone said their cutter came with some kind of stops, but mine didn't.Sandy

Jon, I saw your link for the gray guides. I'll order them if that's the only ones, just trying to save $$$. Do I need to buy 2 of the guides to get the job done?Sandy

You could use these. Much cheaper but you have to use your own hex key.
