Plenty of things...  Static,  cutter not grounded to stand if you have one.  running on USB,  (Cheap Chinese Chip in this cutter)   memory overloaded   This machine is prone to all of these problems.

There are many problems with this bottom of the barrel cutter..  I listed 4 of them.    If your on USB put it on a serial cable or a Tripp-Lite Keyspan Adapter,  It has been posted hundreds of times on this forum to do that.  Search out your cutter under MH.

That's why I'm asking as I looked through the forums and tried everything. I wasn't sure if I missed anything. I'm still running the same set up as before. I didn't change anything other then computers as the old one was very slow.

If you put your pen tool in and it doesn't make those lines, then most likely it is static.   Use Static Guard,   put dryer sheets in the vinyl roll, rub the cutter with dryer sheets. Static comes from the vinyl.

It is always best to but a value cutter on a serial cable or a Tripp-Lite Keyspan Adapter.  Posted hundreds of times....It does not matter how long it has ran good.  Many people have had to purchase them.  These cutters have a cheap Chinese chip.   Are you sure your design is good? And no stray nodes somewhere in it?

Yes I'm Sure. I will look into a new cable see if that will fix it

You can even try just changing the USB cable to a different one. If you're running it through a USB hub, try a powered hub to help maintain the integrity of the data feed.

Have you tried cutting something else?
How large is the file that you're cutting? (no the size of the design, but the size of the file?)
Have you tried different software?

Have you tried different software? Sign Blazer is free and works well with these cutters.
