thor2015 0 Posted February 6, 2012 Been using the cutter for about a week, and love it now that I have good software to use it with. I did have one question, and this may be perfectly normal but I wanted to make sure. The plotter cuts evenly across the entire 24" width and I can do great quality cuts on both large designs and small letters. However, when the blade is up and the cutting head is moving from one end to the other, there is a slight groaning noise that is being emitted. For the larger designs I've been setting my speed at 10 and for small letters I have it set at 5. If I do a cut that goes across the entire 24" roll there is no noise so long as the blade is down. It isn't a horrible noise but still noticeable. The head also moves smoothly (i.e. does not seem to be a stripped gear or belt). Just wanted to know what others have experienced with their Graphtecs. As I said, I love the cutter and want to make sure it stays around for a long time by taking care of it. Thanks! -Jeremy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thor2015 0 Posted February 6, 2012 Cool, thanks. As I said I am really happy with the machine- especially how it cuts small detail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
