mystery33 1 Posted February 10, 2016 I know this has been mentioned many times before, but I have not been able to complete one simple cut. Started yesterday when it stppoed halfway thru the cut, changed USB ports and worked for a few cuts, started again, checked the static thing connected wire to bottom of grounding screw to frame on stand still doing it! Pulled the blade and took out the vinyl just to see if it would complete a cut, and it still freezes but now it says job complete on SCAP but the cutter cuts about 5 seconds and pauses. I've had the cutter about 3 months, and it's been ok, not the best but good for the money. Ive read you can go buy a part for the USB but I'm not sure if that's gonna work, seems to me like something wrong with the board! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xpaperman 719 Posted February 10, 2016 Since you are using USB with you SC cutter.... are you also using a Tripp Lite keyspan adapter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
busterbay 326 Posted February 10, 2016 Make sure the paint is removed where the static wire is connected to the machine and stand. It sounds like static, if it keeps up it could fry the motherboard. Mine used to reboot my laptop at times when it built up a charge until I removed the paint and reattached it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mystery33 1 Posted February 10, 2016 Also has anyone had this with their SC cutter I thought it happened mostly on MH cutters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 393 Posted February 10, 2016 What do you have the grounding connected to? It sounds like you grounded the machine to the stand; have you grounded the stand to anything? Cal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted February 10, 2016 Also has anyone had this with their SC cutter I thought it happened mostly on MH cutters It can happen with any value cutter.. Also how large is the design your trying to cut? Could also be memory overload. You could try spraying, the area with a Static Guard product, Many people have fixed this type of problem with a Tripplite Keyspan Adapter. That is the brand name....

slice&dice 2,450 Posted February 11, 2016 yes, Try it with another cutting program., this one is a decent alternative (no Trial -- use the LIYU driver) http://support.uscutter.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/GetAttachment/190/24198 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
