Biologyben 0 Posted September 12, 2017 Just picked up a 25" Laserpoint II - just got the knife set and test pattern to cut properly. I'm sure I'll have other stupid questions, but here is one I didn't see searching the forum. I was curious what experience, if any, people have with cutting roll paper like shown here in this video. It seems that whatever software is being used ensures that the pattern is cut section by section never feeding troublesome areas back through the cutter to rip the paper and it uses no carrier. This unit looks remarkable similar to the US Cutter items... Will Vinylmaster do this? If so, with what settings? (perhaps cut in strips via the vinyl spooler > Cut options?) Looking forward to hearing what you think! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted September 12, 2017 If you cut thru with no carrier backing you will damage the teflon cutting strip, as well as dull the blade pretty fast. How did you set your blade correctly? Don't know about Vinyl Master, but in Flexi, it would be optimize cutting order. It would cut everything up front then advance to the back.

Today, I literally just got the blade set up for vinyl (cutting just the vinyl and not the paper backing). -- Just indicating I'm a NOOB ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted September 12, 2017 That does not mean that the blade is set correctly. You can have too much blade exposed and still do that. This is how you set the blade correctly. To start with, you should set your blade depth correctly, by taking the blade holder out of the machine, and firmly cut across a piece of scrap vinyl, you will be cutting. You should only be cutting the vinyl and barely a mark on wax paper backing, Adjust blade to get there, Then put the blade holder back in machine, and use the force of the machine to get there, same results, only cutting the vinyl and barely a mark in wax paper backing. You should barely see or feel the blade tip out of the blade holder. People are seeing instructions that is 1/2 a credit card thickness and that is incorrect. If you have too much blade exposed from the blade holder, it will lift your vinyl while it's cutting and cause you many problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
