lizmark 0 Posted January 10, 2008 I am a beginner and my cutter is snagging the vinyl as it cuts although it doesn't happen a lot and doesn't ruin the job. The pressure is about as light as I think I can go. Does the knife have to be oriented a certain way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Popeye 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Sounds like the blade might be dull or it has some built up adhesive on it.... make sure the blade spins freely in the holder as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenimes 42 Posted January 10, 2008 Could also be the blade sticking out too far. Blade should barely be sticking out of the holder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slopchops 1 Posted January 12, 2008 In rare cases I have encountered a blade with a tiny burr on it. Inspect your blade carefully and change it if you need to. Better yet, try another blade it will tell you a story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
