SC2 and been great for smaller things, but I’ve just wasted 12 feet of vinyl and hope to stop the bleeding. I have searched, and know to pre-feed, and get tension rollers equally spaced. I even marked the adjustments to set tension from scratch as calibrated as possible. I put a 3” strip on the cutters origin side to ensure it’s straight to start.
when I feed and retract it seems to be going straight, but it’s as though drift increases when cutting. Is that possible? The design is a 46” x 22” rectangle, then a smaller one only 1/4” inside of that, then another…. Doesn’t have to be off much to be very noticeable.
Im thinking that maybe if it cut the long ones in order the drift would still keep spacing uniform??? I found the checkbox to cut in strips and set it to 46.5”, and hope to confirm whether that’s a good or bad idea before wasting another 4 feet of vinyl, or if something else to try. I’m cutting Oracle 631 if that matters. I have speed at 200, pressure 42.
The plan was to save myself a lot of time measuring and taping. Since I’m cutting anyway I added a pinstripe to the circle but otherwise the end result should be same.
