Thanks mark-s! Anybody else have an idea about these numbers?
-
I'm trying to duplicate these numbers for a race car. I can't seem to find a font anywhere. Please help! Thanks Gary

Figured it out! Not a SBE issue. Compound path in AI fixed it! Thanks for the help! Gary

I need some help guys. Just designed a logo in AI, ctrl+A to select all, ctrl+C to copy logo. I then switch over to SBE and shift+insert to paste logo. I size the logo, click cutter button and preview the cut. Everything is jumbled up in the preview screen (i.e. text from top is at the bottom, text from middle is top and bottom). What in the world? I have been doing this same method for a few years now and havent had this problem. Any ideas? Im using AI CS5.1 if that matters. Thanks, Gary

Chatter on left to right movement FIXED!
smokey13 posted a topic in Copam Cutting Plotter Discussion
Problem solved guys! Blade holder was actually worn at an angle and I guess it was dragging as the cutter pulled back. Put some 180 grit sandpaper on a block and twisted the blade holder on the corner of my workbench until it was true again. I then hit it with 400 grit then 800 grit. Cleaned the blade holder out with WD-40 then reinstalled blade with a drop of 3-n-1 oil in holder itself. Just cut 4 65 inch long by 24 inch wide graphics and they are as crisp as ever. I hope this helps ya'll out! Happy cutting! Gary I posted this in a reply on another thread. I'm thinking about making a jig to put in the vise so the blade holder can be trued up 100%. I guess running it for a long period of time with the vinyl rubbing against it just wears the blade holder. I did this with the same blade and same pressure settings, etc. so I know this was the fix! I'm tickled with the outcome! -

Material puckers when cutting

Not sure I understand the vacuum fan deal. It seams that while cutting a fan does run on the copam machine. Located on the bottom side. Any input here? Looks to me like its a cooling fan kind of like a cpu tower has -

Please excuse the sideways cell phone video. Pay attention to what the vinyl does as the cutter gets closer to the top of the screen. Thanks guys -

Pinch rollers are over the grit rollers. There are actually flouresent green stickers above the grit rollers so you can line the pinch rollers up. Just did another cut and moved the pinch rollers in more. Same result. -

Oracal 651. Just ran another test cut backing blade off until it wouldn't cut the vinyl. Same issue. I'm baffled because it just happened all of a sudden. I've cut 6' long designs 20" tall with no probs
