So, I saw a tool balancer during a web search for something unrelated and got interested since my wife helps me occasionally with vinyl work, but hates using my Mondo trimmer since it's relatively heavy and unwieldy. The tool balancer seems to be oriented more towards more industrial uses, and the initial search was turning up price tags way beyond what I was willing to fork out on an experiment ($150-$300), but I found a cheaper version on Amazon that I went ahead and ordered. Looks like it's actually shipping from China, not the Amazon warehouse (Hence the much cheaper price @ $20) so I won't have it in hand for 2-3 weeks, but I think it'll work well mounted over my worktable and connected to the center of the Mondo. Any one else do something like this? I'll let you know how it works out. Could be a total fail, but at $20 versus $150, I'm willing to give it a spin. =)

Alright, I've only been cutting vinyl for about a week, and while I'm still experimenting with the basics, cutter setup and everything else, I'm really trying to figure out how to streamline my operation. Any experience with organizing a large cut list to maximize efficiency? I just shipped out 92 orders in 3 days, have another 100+ that need to go out in 2 days, and then another 150+ lined up for shipment by the 22nd. I'm putting in 12+ hour days on top of another full time job and need to get a handle on the work. ANY tips are much appreciated. As much as I'd love to peruse the forums more for ideas and tips, I just don't have the luxury of time right now. (Typing this up is the longest I've sat down all day, and that's after coming off a 24 hour shift...I'm dragging!) Right now I think it seems to work out well, to cut out all the orders for one color, then weed, trim and get transfer tape on them. Is it more beneficial to cut everything out first (all colors at once) or to keep breaking it up like this? Obviously I'll keep experimenting to see what works personally, but if there are some easy tweaks I can make that will get me cranking out that much faster, I'd rather learn about them sooner rather than later. Thanks!
