Let me start off by saying, I'm a magician and it leads me into some of the most interesting fields while trying to accomplish some of my feats. I happened to need some paper cut in a very specific place and decided that while I could use an Xacto knife, I would prefer something with a bit more precision. In my brainstorming I realized I could use a vinyl cutter and considered my Cricut but I'm really unhappy with how it works and I need this paper to not curl which it will tend to do if I have to pull it off of my Cricut's mat, so I decided to look for a used vinyl cutter and I actually found 2 that were working and in pretty good shape, a GCC Sable, and a Graphtec CE2000-60. The guy selling offered me pair for $50 more than I was about to buy the Graphtec for so how could I resist. I'm currently wrestling with getting the drivers/hardware setup just right for the Graphtec(the previous owner was using a USB<->parallel adapter that I can't seem to get seen as a printer even though the system knows its there) but I got the Sable up and running in a few hours after wrestling with the driver installer that kept telling me it was the wrong size(I have a solution for that if anyone ever needs it). Anyway, one of my projects requires me to score the paper for creasing. I know that scoring "blades" exist but I'm unsure where to look for them, especially for my Sable. Anyone got any leads? Also, should I be using a paper-specific blade for cutting or will the vinyl blade suffice? Thanks for reading my long intro and thanks in advance for any help offered. Eric

That's good to know. Are there any good cutting mats that don't require adhesive, or maybe have a better adhesive than the Cricuts use?
