Recommended Posts

Hello, question about when vinyl feeds through cutter, it goes off into diagonal direction. How do I fix this?

Thanks!

Start with the vinyl straight in the throat.  Put your hand in the roll and hold the roll tight, when putting down the pinch rollers.  Make sure the pinch rollers are over the grit rollers. Put the pinch rollers equal distance from the vinyl edge.  About 1-1.5 inches. Pinch roller marks don't hurt anything.  Pre feed your vinyl and make sure it is tracking straight. Use the arrow buttons on your cutter.  Never be pulling from the vinyl roll while cutting. Make sure you have your blade depth set correctly. Too much blade exposed can force the vinyl, while it is feeding. 

This is correct way to set your blade depth.

To start with, you should set your blade depth correctly, by taking the blade holder out of the machine, and in your hand, 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 just barely see and feel your blade tip out of the blade holder.
