Cutter question

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

Could also be the blade sticking out too far. Blade should barely be sticking out of the holder.

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.
