Darcshadow-Yes, those corners seem to be slightly crumpled as a result of the cut. Also, as I am in the learning phase of vinyl cutting, is it when the blade cuts too deep that it can lift the vinyl too? Thanks

Thanks Haumana, very helpful information.

Hi I checked the rollers for adhesive and they are good. I like the suggestion for moving 1 roller off, it is the center roller doing it. I thought it was needed since the job is 24" across. Haumana, please educate me on the quality of offset and how to properly set it. I set it at .25 mm as recommended for the 45' blade, but it does seem at the tight corners (V shaped) like at the "Y" in the photo and the "N" (also in the photo) the part to be weeded looks crinkled up. Would a different offset help that? and if so, what direction should I try. Thanks for the help. Chris

Hi I have had this cutter MH-MK2-28" for about 2 months. Initially, this unit worked fine. While cutting some letters (which I had cut before) today, the roller started to grab and roll up the vinyl on it while cutting. It then caused the roll to stop rolling and basically fouled up the last cut as the material did not roll any more. I live in a dry environment, so could it be static on the rollers from movement lifting the material off the backing? I guess I could try to set the rollers to predict where it might pick up a thin point of the cut, but I believe you should not have to do that as it would be trial and error, wasting material to get it set. Material being cut-Oracal 751C. My blade set up from the start: I have the blade depth set to cut the material without cutting into the backing, cutting the material by hand before I put the blade holder on the machine. Once on the machine, I had to set the pressure up to 290 to get it to cut through the vinyl with a light scoring on the backing. I had to get that high with the pressure, as the blade was not cutting through on some lines of the cutting run while I was testing it during set it up. At 290, it just cuts through the vinyl with a light scoring of the backing. Thank in advance for the help. Chris
