Cal 393 Posted April 6, 2016 I regularly (or so I thought) clean out small pieces of vinyl that have stuck to the knife, you know - the i dots or centers of lower case e and such. I usually push the blade down and get those pieces and thought I was doing a good job of it. Today my cut quality was rather poor, and nothing was stuck to the knife blade. Until I took the knife out that is. Looking into the barrel I could see several small pieces, did not help that they were silver, but I could still see them. I got them out with a toothpick and then used a small paint applicator brush with a drop of 3-in-1 oil to get in there and coat it, maybe it will not load up so much. I can say this - the cut quality was way improved. I had no more hang ups the rest of the day. I know this will not help out the old hands, but maybe some newby will see it and use the info.
