xbeerd 2 Posted February 7, 2013 thought i'd put up a pic of a graphic i did, this is my second cut, my first one was a subaru emblem for my car i snagged a pic of off google images and modified it a bit so it would be doable. i have a uscutter MH that i got off of ebay, didnt expect to win the auction but ended up winning it, haha. anyways... not really trying to start a business or anything, but just gonna try to make my money back on the unit by supplying small runs of things for a few local car clubs im in. one thing i noticed it seems the blade holder slips upwards in the carosel when i have it tightened down, the lip on top is supposed to be above the carosel clamp thing right? i cant wait to try out some 'real' projects created with Illustrator and see how that plugin works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,450 Posted March 2, 2013 one thing i noticed it seems the blade holder slips upwards in the carousel when i have it tightened down, the lip on top is supposed to be above the carousel clamp thing right? The cutting carriage clamp sometimes doesn't retain the blade tightly enough, that is a problem reported several times in these forums (some people have even broken their clamping arms trying to tighten too much) I suggest wrapping electrical tape around the blade holder, to provide a bit of 'bulk' to the barrel and that could eliminate the issue.
