rcmike76 0 Posted January 28, 2015 First let me say Hello! I am a first time user and I have been cutting vinyl successfully for near six months and then my troubles just started out of the blue and I dont know why. Here is what I have: Cutter: MH 1351 I purchased from USCutter.com Vinyl: I have been using rolls of Orafol and Greenstar vinyl. Cutter is connected via USB cord to the computer Computer: HP Windows 8 Cutting Software: Sure Cuts Alot 3 Pro Drivers: USCutter support made sure I had the lastest drivers installed last week whenI called them about this problem. Overcut: 1.10mm Blade Offset: .38mm The tech could not figure out why it is not closing the loop on my cuts. It is not leaving a gap to close as much as the cut is getting offset by the time I get to the end of the cut. I have attached an image that might help explain the issue. I am missing out on sales because of this. Any help would be appreciated!!!!! Thanks, Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted January 28, 2015 the vinyl is moving for some reason - several causes. first pre feed and do not make the vinyl pull off the roll. second, check your knurled rollers and make sure they are tight - there have been a few with the allen screw come lose allowing slop. third - would be to search the forum on checking for belt tightness for the feed rollers.other areas to check is to make sure all the carriage wheels are on the track or cracks in the carriage arm that holds the blade holder.start with those and i am sure others will have more ideas 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mercer57 243 Posted January 28, 2015 It could be a blade holder issue I had the same problem @ around the same time frame I noticed the contact area on the blade holder was worn down to the metal making a smooth cut impossible. I ordered a new holder and it started working fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shankun 14 Posted February 4, 2015 what speed are you running? i was cutting last night something with no detail and was playing around, turned the speed up and that is what happened. soon as i turned the speed back down it cut perfect again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinylRevamp 93 Posted February 5, 2015 UsCutter emailed me with my cutting problem and told me to lower the speed to 200 on my LP2. Cuts great now. What speed did you have it on when it cut perfect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
