turboinline4 16 Posted November 2, 2014 Got a new toy and was in the process of weeding some decals and figured I would view what the vinyl looked like at 100x's magnification! This was done on a Copam 2500 with a clean cut blade. The decals look great once weeded, but at 100x not so great. I'd love to see what a Graphtec would like at 100x! Pretty cool none the less! *Note* these decals were roughly 7"x2"! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwp99 283 Posted November 2, 2014 Try cleaning any vinyl residue out of the blade holder and adding a drop of light 3 in 1 oil to the bearings in the blade holder. See if that helps. Very cool seeing the vinyl at 100x magnification 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'll be here Tues thanks to amazon prime. I'm still think about a USB microscope. I think it'd be awesome to view cutting blade tips on my big monitor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

101LEDs 100 Posted November 3, 2014 Looking forward to see the graphtec 6000 cuts Tuesday I want to see results hehehe If they don't cut the same vinyl (651/751/etc) at the same speed and pressure the results won't be comparable. Same goes for degree of blade and blade brand. A test like this should only have one variable, the actual machine. I don't think there will be that much difference at the same magnification.
