banzaimini1 1 Posted December 10, 2010 That makes sense John can't believe I never thought of that... I'm gonna do it when I get home... Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neron15210 10 Posted December 10, 2010 On the new items or items we are paying for in general improvising should not be an option. If I buy tail light for my car , and it does not seal the way it should , last thing I want to do is taking tube of silicone and feel the gap. I had great experience with US cutter people when I bought my Graphtec . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted December 10, 2010 It could be that USC sent what they got. The Chinese are not known for their reliability. It's just a piece of plastic (Over-priced). As long as it does the job, I'm not wasting my time waiting for 'perfect fit'. I've ordered cutting strips for other brands as well,from other companies,and yet to get one that fit as well as the one that came with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
banzaimini1 1 Posted December 11, 2010 I agree John just a piece of plastic no big worry to me.. You can't slam uscutter for plastic that others make that's why I didn't ... I just gave up not worth my time or uscutter just for a piece of plastic that really amounts to nuttin... I've even heard of people not having them in at all... And thanks again for the idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
locknload1 17 Posted December 11, 2010 I use my cutter just about everyday and my strip is good as new still after more than two years, I think you need to dial off the pressure a bit and then adjust down from there to get at the sweet spot. I typicaly use only three settings 109, 112 & 119. This covers Oracal, MacTac and masking materials. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
banzaimini1 1 Posted December 11, 2010 Yes I know.... It happened when I went from my regular vinyl to heat press vinyl and forgot to change blade depth and pressure... But it was my rookie mistake and it's not that big of a issue it's not causing me any problems after I took some 600 grit sandpaper to it o level it out just one of those things that my OCD hates knowing it's there lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxanneupnorth 106 Posted December 11, 2010 I have an Expert 24 and use identical settings for Siser Easy Weed and Oracal 651/631..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted December 11, 2010 I read about using reflective vinyl to repair the cutting strip . There was an article I thought was in here somewhere that had " 10 fixes " .. the cutting strip repair was 1 of them . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
