Ms. Rita 0 Posted May 29, 2009 Blade won't stay down. Pcut is about 6 months old, no probs until now. When the blade holder drops down to cut the vinyl the blade holder slides up so it can't cut. If i tighten the screw to hold it tight the end of the screw is also tight against the arm and won't let the holder move up or down. Please help. This job is due today.

cutme 5 Posted May 29, 2009 put some washers on the thumbscrew. or wrap a piece of tape around the blade holder to make it fit tighter. bb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bayshorecreations 30 Posted May 29, 2009 Good idea cutme! If it still slides with the tape on there try using a small piece of sandpaper and wrap it around the blade holder. This will not only make it tighter but will also give it some grip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenimes 42 Posted May 29, 2009 Might want to also make sure the carriage arm does not have a crack in it, or this maybe be the culprit as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
