Cutting though multiple layers of vinyl

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

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.
