anything Small it does great but anything longer then 10 inches it does funny things. and I guess I will forget using my scrapes with this thing guess i break down buy the wife a Silhouette and let her use my scraps this thing makes those things twist and turn really bad. i stuck a 3 foot roll on and it looked straight i now know how to make it feed so feed whole thing and it went over that whole inch.. i backed it back and moved it around tried again it was a little better but still off about half a inch going the whole 3 foot.. my rolls are to short to stay on the rollers tho maybe that is some of it?

Me too.... It was warm today 70 but threatening rain and it did rain some while i was out cutting trees with my new chain saw and was trying its best to rain. i think cold is coming again. Nice bike, most my Cousins and have a uncle that rides

Ive not tried to cut my HTV yet im nervous cause only got 1 sq ft of it to make what I need to. but i know my regular vinyl im down to 100 speed and 98 force.. Right now im noticing with anything 10 inches long or longer my vinyl is moving way off.. from the start of a roll to the end ( about 3 foot long) its moving to the right a whole inch.. and don't know how to make it not do this.

Awesome idea. That might help these were short rolls just 6 and 5 foot long got some 30 ft on the way sure they act better.

So I go my SC2 today, got my Vinylmaster software working, I got the stand put together o my gosh that was a pain any how.. I even got the blade fixed in the machine did a test cut by pushing the test cut button it cut me out a Perfect Square.. okay all of my work is in SCAL but till i get a copy of it.. im trying to do something with VM i just uploaded a simple Black image from off line to try to cut and i go to cut it first said you much Vectorize the image okay i figured out how to do that ( is the the same as trace is called in SCAL??) I went to the Cut razor looking button to make it cut it opens another window that shows Send to be cut. I hit the Cut now button and another window pops up and says CONFIRM Cut now? I hit Yes..and it doesnt do anything.. It now shows 3 jobs on that screen cause ive tried 3 times and its not cutting am i missing something do I need to check the Auto speed weed or any of those other things on the screen to make it work? it shows the image on the vinyl on the screen its at the corner of the vinyl.. do i need to feed more vinyl forward does it think there not enough room or what? Please help I want to cut something today lol

Thanks for the info. WOW where all are the Vinyl master guys at?

Yes something like that.. The guy on youtube told me to select the White where the X was for it to show the white but that doesn't seem to be working.

Im finished cutting for tonight i might try what the one person said about not locking down the center. One issue the rolls of vinyl keep falling off the roller rollers, i guess since there so short and don't weigh much I just ordered some 30 foot rolls today so maybe they do better.

ive not used the ruler on it just been lining it up with the blade and making sure its straight according to the lines in the machine i know the vinyl has to be straight for that to be 100% correct but it seemed to work pretty good so far just that one thing having issues with Thanks about the controls i will try that

Yes, I already found out what happens when the rollers aren't over the gritty rollers.. made that mistake yesterday. i don't know how to make the machine move the vinyl back and forth, asked in this thread guess no one has a SC2 to know the manual kinda stinks

Oh alright again thanks for the input.. Now Im having a weird thing happening, Im trying to cut a USA flag and it gets all the first like 7 lines cut then the vinyl is like turning in the machine on like a 45 degree. im just using a smaller piece of scrap. but plenty big enough. the pinch rollers were all 3 down.the speed is on 100 and the force is on 98 now. it cut the other stuff just fine. I have noticed the longer i cut it does get off a little bit but not bad like it was this time

Oh wow that is high priced, but sure it is really good. maybe that is what the guy was going to use cause he said $800 and he would make it. Not sure if that was him printing it or haveing it printed then him just cutting and install or what. Unless im missing something, My SC2 wont go down lower then 100 on Speed. witch I happen to be at 100 now. it seems its eaiser to weed now being slower. maybe i will lower the Force some to see. Im working with my Orcal 751 now and im very surprised at how Thin it is.... How is it the best to use but yet seems so thin? now i did notice on the back it says Oracal 751C does the C mean anything? Everyone and there brother local keeps saying 651 is fine, some lady showed me pics of a jeep the done a huge logo on the hood of it a yr ago it still looked good from her pic. Oh well I will find out cause im using 651 on my decals for my truck. is there a way with the SC2 to make the vinyl feed forward? every time after i make my cut i undo the pinch rollers and pull it forward to cut it then move it back and push the rollers back down.

Thank you for the info.. I'm not interested really in doing huge jobs like that but he needed it cut. I wish I knew someone who had a 60" Cutter. He said one Sign shop we both know, wanted a Ton of money to do it. Of course its a big piece of vinyl I understand that.

Well he found a shop that said they can print it but they can't cut it, maybe that's normal but i would think a shop that could print it could cut. maybe they said they cant cut it cause of the size.'

Alright thanks, I was just trying to get the most use out of the thread i started as I could lol. Does anyone happen to know where i can find 24" wide by like 20 foot long puzzle piece vinyl my buddy has a project he wants to put it on his show truck. were going to have do it in 2 parts I guess since my cutter only does 24 inch.. he wants it the whole side of his bed and the tailgate. this is what he wants. Im not even sure what to charge he will buy the vinyl just needs me to cut it.

I have the blade where it would cut just the vinyl. i cant even see the blade sticking out of the holder.. So speed like 100? i thought 300 was slow. The pressure the same or more or less? it just feels like its not pulling up well. Does VM not have layers where you can uncheck what you don't want to cut at the time? SCAL does. I know there all driffrent

OH My... your right... I need to double check my woman's spelling i guess. yeah I didn't take out a few things like on the glasses cause it didn't really cut how i thought it would.

Oh, Alright yeah that has to be it cause on top of the vinyl. almost like its to tight. Can someone tell me the trick to weeding smaller letters cause im having no luck.. they keep just peeling up. should i change the pretty on the cutter ? im at 300 speed and 101 pressure

Okay I just noticed something i cut has like lil tracks in it.. do i need to change the start point on the machine to get the cutter away from the far right side? or do i need to move the slide roller over some? i have it right behind the blade?

Oh alright.

Yeah, i got to figure that out. i got just a lil black and green to make her sisters t shirt. i got my t shirts from jiffyshirts yesterday also everything i had ordered came the same day.. Im really happy with the shirts, great price and i just paid for regular shipping they shipped from the same state I live in 2 day shipping.. Someone wants to buy the look twice sticker, but i told them i cant sell it cause i got it from off line, but i can like redo it in my own words right and be okay to sell it? could i use the image at all or no?

LOL, Yes. already have been, ive been making designs all week lol. I just have to figure out my settings. it didn't seem to be weeding right i clicked on couple things and seems easier. I found out that cursive type words are harder to weed out.

Well you know, new guys can mess up anything LOL.... few things I have cut today... The Anniversary was for my Parents, it was 55 yrs for them yesterday. The motorcycle was first thing i cut.

Thank you so much, that was the problem i had the one all way over next to edge and other was center of the two of them

New issue. Tried to cut some Oracal 631 for a indoor project and the vinyl is getting all wadded up and not staying straight at all. what would make it do this? I thought maybe the Force or speed so i turned down the speed.
