Hi all, I'm new (will introduce myself in the introductions forum later) and after searching for answers to these issues decided to join and get more information on them.
First issue. I previously owned a Roland CX24 and never ran into this. During cutting, the blade will frequently slightly score the top of the vinyl in the middle of the rollers. It seems that the vinyl naturally wants to lift a little in that location. When the blade isn't cutting but is moving over the center, it usually cuts into it.
I've tried old and new rolls, and two brands (3m and Oracal) of vinyl and it happens on all of it.
Is the third pinch roller meant to stop this?
Second issue. I've had it over a year and just noticed this. The cutter cuts stuff slightly bigger that the dimensions in the vinyl software. I'm using Vinylmaster XPT and something that should be 6 inches wide will cut out about 3/16" bigger.
I just noticed it this morning, and went a checked a couple things I cut out previously, and it happened to those as well. All about 1/4" bigger than they should be.
Third issue. This isn't extremely important, but would like to get resolved if possible. When putting a weed box around something, especially multiple items in one cut, it doesn't always cut the whole weed box. Usually leaving one side or part of a side uncut.
Thanks for any help.
