HELP!! cutter makes 2 diagonal cuts that mess my vinyl

Recommended Posts

i was making a decal in 2 parts, the first one was cut fine, but in the second part, when i try to cut it, it will make 2 diagonal lines making that part useless and it doesnt cut it like i want.

 

i have used the drivers of RedSail RS1120C (been using this all the time) and Copam CP2500 but i still get that line cut (attaching image of the cut)

 

i am attaching the file here too to see if someone can figure out whats wrong with it (i made the size smaller so i can upload it, but i am cutting it to the size around 64 x 35".

 

I am using a uscutter SC serie cutter.

if using signblazer that has happened because of static or exceeding the plotters memory -  I would start with grounding the stand to the plotter - static builds in the vinyl and on the value cutters the stand is insulated from the plotter that is grounded so the static can't dissipate until it arcs thru the carriage.

if it was scalp I would make sure it was activated but as you put this under signblazer I would bet on the static

mmmmmm.... i had a little cable for the static but i need a bigger cable i guess, i will try again once i connect another cable to ground it.

I opened the file in AI and it seems fine. You might try some anti-static spray all around your cutter. I would also suggest taking your knife holder out and try it on paper or possibly without a knife at all (not sure no knife will work) but I think I read if you don't use the knife it will eliminate the connection to static short so you may be able to determine if it still does it without a blade touching then it's not static but could be memory or driver. 

 

Have you tried it small just to see what happens?
