Refine cutter - creeping?

Recommended Posts

Ahoy - I've got a Refine 751MH cutter...has been running well for a year.  Just lately on big cut jobs, it seems to be creeping forward during cutting.  When it comes time to do the weeding lines (lets say on a 50cm long job) it's creeped forward on the vinyl about 2cm.  So the weed lines are cutting into the product.  :thumbsup:

Not sure why it's doing it either.

Some details:

Windows XP

Adobe Illustrator as editor

Sign Cut X2 as cutting software

The cutter runs over SERIAL cable, not USB or anything.

Yup, gave em all a good couple of turns.  Gonna suck cause the knobbled roller underneath is pointy enough to leave marks on the vinyl.

check for play in the bottom rollers

Done.  Nothing side to side, feels very tight back and forth.

the marks should leave when you apply the vinyl.

1. Loose grips

2. Blunt blade (but it was cutting fine...ish)

3. Gunk hiding on a guide.
