Jburns 239 Posted May 29, 2016 Been cutting vinyl for 7 years-i have always been able to solve blade problems, strip and carriage issues.... BUT This is on my Roland GX-24. It has: 1, Brand new blade. (As I type this - I tried 3 other blades- same result.) 2. Brand new cutting strip. On some lines, I am getting either a "Wavy" motion, or skipping motion. I am leaning towards a Blade holder- It has more play in the bearing than my Graphtec or Gerber has... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mb20music 760 Posted May 29, 2016 I would say most likely bad blade holder... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcbevins 340 Posted May 29, 2016 Bad blade despite it being new, though I wouldn't think three in a row unless it is a whole bad batch. Seven years is a likely time frame for the blade holder to die. Worn cutting strip, (but you said you replaced that.) Something in the feeding system, pinch rollers ect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GraphxNMore 282 Posted May 30, 2016 Could the new strip be slightly unlevel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Command 97 Posted May 30, 2016 Blade holder or blade when she gets a case of the wibbles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted May 30, 2016 Sure is consistent looking. Both directions to and angles. That should narrow it down to blade, holder or holder arm I would think. When it's just cutting straight front to back the carriage isn't moving just the vinyl rolling through so something is warbling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted June 5, 2016 Thanks guys- I will buy a roland alloy holder- should fix it - fingers crossed Hope so - after 74.00 FYI - I use aftermarket holders in by roland and graphtec and they work as good as OEM except one bad one in about 12 ordered over the years. lots cheaper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
