    What you are wanting to do is sometimes refered to as Flex cut that none of the budget cutters will be capable of. Flex cutting is basically cutting through the vinyl and at specific intervals increasing the force to also penetrate the carrier but leaving sufficient attached portions so as to not loose the integrity of the carrier. After the cut then you can push the flexcut peices on out. If you cut it all the way out you would lose the strength of the carrier sheet and all heck would break loose. If you ran a second carrier sheet under the actual vinyl carrier backing you could perhaps do an initial cut and then a second time through the machine as a contour cut but you would have to manually adjust the cutt force and possibly make a blade exposed adjustment. In general if you want to do what you are talking about you would end up into a much more expensive machine. Overall, this type of thing is mostly only used for printed peel and stick "stickers" because of the need for a tranfer paper on cut vinyl decals. Applying app tape to loose decals might prove problematic and at the very least will waste as much time trying to make hthem look god as any other way. Most of us just set the spacing parameter of multiple copies such that you can cut, weed and place the app tape then trim the individual peices in a reasonable consistent squares by hand.

    I agree with darcshadow about the blade depth. Do not use any instructions that have to do with using a credit card or post it notes. They are wrong. To start with, you should set your blade depth correctly, by taking the blade holder out of the machine, and firmly cut across a piece of scrap vinyl, you will be cutting. You should only be cutting the vinyl and barely a mark on wax paper backing, Adjust blade to get there, Then put the blade holder back in machine, and use the force of the machine to get there, same results, only cutting the vinyl and barely a mark in wax paper backing. You should barely see and feel the blade out of the blade holder. Regular sign vinyl is only 2-3 mil thick. You only cut with the very tip of the blade.

    And here's the correct way to set blade depth,

    I don't know anything about moving the pinch rollers on a Titan, but I do know you have WAY to much blade exposed. You shouldn't be able to see the blade in a photo like the one you posted.

    Just make sure that the rollers are over the gritty portion of the drive roller.

    You should put the rollers out as far as you can. I usually set mine at around 1/2" from the edge of the vinyl

    Weed boxes are controlled in the cutting software. Not the vinyl cutter. No different pressure, you are just cutting a square in the vinyl around your design. That is weed boxes. Not cutting thru the vinyl and backing. Most people on here will tell you at least step up to a SC2 vinyl cutter. It's a much better cutter. Buyers seem to be very happy with the SC2 vinyl cutter and many less problems. The MH vinyl cutter has many known problems. Tracking , communication, static, to name just a few. Can only be ran on a Windows PC.

    May be best to contact Graphtec. There has only been a couple people on here with the Autofeeder. Combination with the Graphtec CE6000-40 vinyl cutter. They have not been here for several years. So I don't know who could answer your question here. We are just volunteers here. This is pretty much a user to user forum.
