RocketRollinSX 2 Posted December 12, 2012 Has anyone tried cutting through more than one layer of vinyl at a time? Typically I use Oracal 651 for my sandblast resist when blasting glass. I want to blast some slate witha heavier grit and would like a thicker stencil. I was thinking about layering 2-3 layers of 651, then cutting it which would give me a thicker stencil. I have a USCutter 24" PCUT. Would slowing the cut down and adding some pressure be ok? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkey 252 Posted December 12, 2012 Might try layering it after you cut each individually. No experience with it but seems the bottom layers wouldnt be held very well by pinch rollers being just paper above them, not able to grip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coaster36 327 Posted December 12, 2012 They make thicker vinyl and they also make vinyl for sandblasting stencils. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted December 12, 2012 I think it would work if you put your blade out further and adjusted your down force. I haven't actually tried it though. Most cutters state their maximum cut thickenss in the specs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RocketRollinSX 2 Posted December 14, 2012 Nice, thanks for the replies. I ended up ordering a roll of the USCutter sandblast film to try. I will still try layering up in case I am ever in a pinch again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
