hi i have fleix installed which seems to run fine but i have no driver for the MH721 , the old driver which i used for xp wont work and thus far i havent been able to get flexi to talk to the cutter. drivers please.

Hey im looking for some motorcycle outlines so i can make some custom stickers. right now im really looking for a 2007 R1 outline but id like a collection. is there someone who sells them all on a cd like the vehicle outlines you can buy for cars and trucks? email me direct if you have the above as its quite urgent. regards and thanks in advance for any help burney

Hi as the title says im wondering what the best vinyl is for this. i want to wrap a motorcycle in matt black vinyl,the side panels are ok but the petrol tang and rear seat unit are very curvy,the tank is pretty much like having to wrap half a football. so whats the best way to go?

Ok well ive just noticed this problem today really but thats because ive been cutting vinyl for signs and not for tshirts as i usually do,but looking at some of the tshirt flex vinyl i cut yesterday i can see it still had the same problem. the problem is my cutter is cutting wavy lines instead of nice straight ones. as the title says its an MH721 model im using flexisign pro 8.1 as my cutting software ive never changed any settings in flexi as ive never needed to despite blade changes etc. the knife offset is currently at 0.051cm (as its always been) so far ive tried: new blades and old ones, ive cleaned the runners and wheels for the carrige tried to cut different shapes heresw a pic,my camera didnt want to focus but you should get the idea. the lines are not massivly wavy but they deffinatley show enough to be a big problem.

i even tried placing the cutter on a wooden shelf and still the same.

if they want to phone me in the UK id be happy to talk about speaker wire techniques all day long. i wish they would just email me,days are ticking by

well i fail to see how a bodge job of adding a bit of old speaker wire to the stand would help seeing as the plug is earthed anyway but hey i thought id eliminate it from the list so i gave it a go. and its exactly the same as it was so bodging wire dont help.

you stealing my thread?

it really bugs me how people dont notice the wheel is out of its tracks straight away,it would look blantently buggered. im suprised it wroked at all let alone slightly off cuts. strange.

ive been doing tests on paper using the pen as its getting too expensive keep running vinyl through. at its slowest speed of 10mms the wavy lines arent that noticeable at 100 mms the horizontal and diagonal lines are noticeable and look like perferated lines (lots of dashes make up the lines) 200 mms + is terrible,obvious dashes make up the lines,especially the diagonals.

thanks for suggestions. @ MrMopar64 thanks for the suggestion but even if that works its not an option,i have LOADS of art work and dont have time to be blurring it just because a certain angle is wobbly. @ hockeygirl i have tried that i will be running more tests today but i think ive just about covered everything i can. The ticket i put in got a reply last night so thats good,but we shall see if they have managed to find a solution to this problem yet.

so after reading a post with 26 pages theres no answer.

it seems this is a major problem with these cutters which is not good and ive yet to find a solution on this forum despite the huge amount of posts with the same problem. the answer just seems to be..theyre cheap what do you expect...which isnt good. if i had the money id buy a roland tomorrow but right now i dont and this cutter was generating money but now its costing money. i read that the support staff are really nice blah blah blah but thats no good if they cant sort the problem,i dont want a chat with a nice support member,what i want is this problem sorted out. i read this in one of the posts: I would like to add that there is one thing that can be a major contributor to this issue. If you turn on the machine and try to rock the feed roller back and forth it should not move. If it does it's likely the belt is loose. Remove the left end cap, check the belt on the feed roller and drive motor. it should be fairly tight and you shouldn't be able to push the sides together more than about 1/8". if it is loose you can loosen the 4 screws holding the motor in place, slide the motor away from the feed roller and tighten the screws back down. Hope this helps anyone with this issue. Also if you change the tension on the carriage belt be sure NOT to overtighten this belt as this will actually ADD TO the problem. It should be reasonably tight, not loose or floppy, and not tight like a guitar string. Howard Irwin Support Specialist US Cutter 425-481-3555 888-298-8143 - Option 2 well i can actually move the rollers if the cutter is on or off,but the belt is tight.

same here tho because i bought mine from ebay they dont care i wont buy from uscutters again thats for sure if mine dont get sorted.

ive reinstalled flexi...no joy ive tried cutting using signblazer ...still the same. i had the cutter apart and tightened anything that needed it,air blasted the whole thing so its totally free of dust,cleaned the runners that the wheels run in and the wheels and very lightly oiled the runner,tightened the tension a bit on the pully. cutting in a straight line ie if the rollers stay still and it cuts a straight line is fine,dead straight. its diagonal lines thats the problem. the holder is solid tight in its clamp and definatley dosent move,and theres no play with the blad and yes it moves freely inside the holder. ive also tried cutting on both sides of the cutter and in the middle. im running out of ideas

ive just tried a cut on the slowest speed possible 10ms and the wiggle is less noticeable but still there.

yes Dakotagrafx,unfortunatley ive been here with problems before. i just thought this post should be in USCutter Refine Cutting Plotter Support Requests never mind,if it dont bother you then it certianly dont bother me is it grounded? if you mean earthed then yes

ive now also tried tightening the belt on the cutter, still no luck. also ive posted this in the discussion department,can someone move me please to support.

its almost like its cutting the anti aliasing,dead square/straight lines are no where near as bad as angled lines.

they are wavy lines not perferated....its supposed to be dead straight. its nothing to do with nodes,its cutting from one point to another witrh nothing inbetween. ive tried updating driver to this one: http://support.uscutter.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=44&nav=0,4 also tried adjusting the offset but its at its best where it was first of all. tried adjusting pressure. tried slowing the machine speed right down..no change. the blade is barely showing. tried more and less pressure.

why would you need to take the top off? the carrige moves up without taking the top off and risking causing damage. and as a prevention you should keep the track clean in the first place,use cotton buds to clean the wheels making sure no bits get left behind.

ive got the same problem,tried the above and no joy,tried various blades including my old ones,different pressures and speeds but still the same. just trying to cut a slightly rotated box shape (to give me angled lines), i get horrible wiggly lines instead of nice clean ones. this seems to have just started to be a problem today.

i agree mate,customers always right,was just saying its not my cup of tea.

in the UK youd get pulled straight away and theyd probably dispose of it there and then...and of course give you a fine. any excuse for a fine here,then theyd go over your bike,another
