Have you done this? If so, recommendations on best approach?

Wow, thanks for all the helpful and fast responses. Doesn't happen all the time but often enough I'm wasting time and material. I backed the screws out a little where the rollers seat on the stand so the screws would directly touch the rollers and was able to make a cut for the first time after 4 previous attempts. Picked that tip up here in a post. Not sure if communication problems, because like I said works more often than not perfectly. However, for $30 I may go ahead and buy the adapter. I've seen you (Skeeter) mention that several times. I'm using the Sure Cuts A Lot that came with the program. I use Corel for all my designing and a cheap bridge software is all I've ever needed. I went with the value cutter because this 54" size cutter did fit my budget at the time and the reviews were great for it. I do a lot of graphics work at my shop so maybe should have went for a Graphtec 24". Just liked the idea of the ability to make larger runs. Looks like I need to run the ground wire and get the adapter. Just worried about small pieces where the vinyl doesn't touch the roller or if I get to the end of a roll. Maybe the static spray is the way to go there.

Would someone be so kind as to explain to me why my brand new Laserpoint II is stopping before cut complete at times, and at other times cuts a line or 2 right through the middle of my graphic. Its almost like I grabbed a node in the design and pulled it across the graphic before sending to cut. Called support and was told to run a ground wire from housing to screw on rollers and then to screw in my electrical outlet. Craziest thing I've ever heard and never experienced anything like that with any other plotters I've had. Something to do with static I've read in some of these forum posts. I've been in this business for several years and never heard of running plotter ground wires or spraying static stuff or rubbing vinyl with dryer sheets before. Hope I haven't made a mistake ordering this machine. Thanks in advance.

I'm new to the forum from Kentucky. Having some issues with my Laserpoint II and tech support hasn't been able to help me. I read great reviews on the equipment as well as the support at USCutter, but maybe my situation is a weird. Any help would be appreciate if anyone knows of any known problems with these machines. Thanks in advance.
