top53 53 Posted December 16, 2011 I will be cutting before long. Cutter working, software working, now work shop almost ready, check my shelf out. https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlink it holds 8 rolls of vinyl. I am going to cut a hole in the table 2 foot by 3 foot and put a piece of glass and light behind it. Everything is comming together. By the way, the road runner on the cutter was my 1st cut.

Dr12volt1338 116 Posted December 16, 2011 Having your vinyl rolled that small is going to cause it to have "fingers" as it unrolls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
top53 53 Posted December 16, 2011 What are fingers, that is the way the rolls where shipped to me, I bought a package on ebay to get a bunch of colors cheap to get started. I may have made a mistake, at least it will be some practice material. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr12volt1338 116 Posted December 17, 2011 You will see as it is unrolling. the vinyl will separate from the backing and "bubble" up. That's the problem with discount vinyl from Ebay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
top53 53 Posted December 17, 2011 It is supposed to be Oracal 651 but I wonder if it is. Grand Maw always said, "Experience is the best teacher, if you don't pay to much" Well I can get out of this without to much expense, but I will need to redo my cutting shelf vinyl rack combo.

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted December 17, 2011 If it's Oracal, it says it's Oracal on the backing. It will say Oracal 651 all over the backing and also have a grid pattern on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
top53 53 Posted December 17, 2011 Well it is Oracal 651 but it is sure on a small spool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted December 17, 2011 Yes probably so, they are usually buying 50 yrd rolls which is cheaper, and selling off by the feet. or 10 yrds. etc. those 3" cores are heavy, and weigh more than the vinyl, so they are not going to ship it on a 3" core. They ship as cheap as they can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
top53 53 Posted December 17, 2011 That's what I got Skeeter 10 yds of 10 colors on looks like 1" cores. Well I will consider this part of my training and move on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted December 17, 2011 You more than likely could have gotten it cheaper with UScutter. and only $9.00 shipping each in it's own box, on a 3" core. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
top53 53 Posted December 17, 2011 I see that now, I was just wanted several colors no more of that stuff for me. I'll be buying my next from UScutter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
