bret2973 0 Posted May 26, 2009 I was looking at the blade today and was wondering when I place it in the holder and then into the machine the blade angle is 45 does the cutting angle have to be pointing to the back? or does this not matter? I am not sure if this discrip helps. will the blade turn in the holder as the machine is cutting out the vinyl? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandon_Davis 1 Posted May 26, 2009 Great question... Just to clear it up a little, you are asking if the blade orientation has to be specific, correct? In that case the answer is, no. Also the blade holder should not have any play in it as it is cutting. Maybe someone else has something further to say on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted May 26, 2009 The blade should spin freely inside of the holder. Because the tip of the blade is slightly behind the center of the cutter (This is offset) the blade will rotate as it drags behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandon_Davis 1 Posted May 26, 2009 That was important to point out... Especially about the blade itself having movement from within the blade holder. He should look up some of the posts here in the forums about offset they are excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bret2973 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Thanks to all I think that helped as I was unsure if the blade had to be in a set position....I will be making my first signs tonight as IU wait for vinyl to get here....simple signs for a friends biz but its all about trial and no error! thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
