MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted January 24, 2015 See if putting a few drops of light oil in the blade holder helps..The blade should spin freely...Also make sure the blade holder is free of any vinyl scraps. Also take a look at your cutting strip, make sure no deep gouges and scrapes in it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parabellum1130 5 Posted January 24, 2015 blade spins freely in the holder was few tiny spec on outside wall of blade canal... could a dull blade cause this .... I noticed the gram pressure is a 107 also but I usually run a touch higher than called for at 103... not sure if that would matter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted January 24, 2015 Yes, a dull blade, will be tougher to go thru your vinyl.. A few drops of oil isn't going to hurt it any. I don't own your cutter, so no clue on the force. And make sure the tip is not broken off the blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parabellum1130 5 Posted January 24, 2015 just noticed something on my silver vinyl didn't see in other colors I was working on it seems like a shadow about 1/8 inch up for entire cut lines scratched into it ... could only see it on an angle... could blade holder itself be pressing against the vinyl as I cut ...

deth502 39 Posted January 24, 2015 agree with skeeter. i will get this problem and will put a bit of dry graphite in the blade holder and all is well again (except for a bit of graphite on the next few cuts) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
