OWJones 1,981 Posted March 23, 2013 As I recall it uses an allen wrench (which should be included) or a phillips head screwdriver (not included), to assemble the stand. The screws that hold the cutter to the stand have large plastic heads so they can be put in with your fingers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 24, 2013 keep in mind that Harley is probably the hardest on cw - they send people to shows and swap meets to look for stuff. persaonlly I think they must pay a reward from what I have seen. I have steered clear of it after reading a bunch about it. heck they even go after people that use thier shield with other words in them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 24, 2013 Yes, I even read here in the forum, that someone had a relative that is Harley legal, that goes to shows,looking for Harley copyrights, that his appearance would not even give you the impression that he is a legal representative of Harley.... . So just guessing, I would say he looked like a hard core biker dude.. You have no clue who all goes to those shows, just by appearance, doing under cover work...

gcextreme 475 Posted March 28, 2013 You're in luck, Glenn, there's a special on gallstones this week from USCUTTER. http://www.uscutter.com/Silhouette-Craft-Rhinestones-Emerald-Green HAHA NOT FUNNY Turns out i just have a bacterial infection in my large intestine and colon They got me on some meds. Anyway.. i need some help with this graphtec... Ok first, the blade is a 45dg. blade, does it matter which way it goes into the holder, and which way the holder goes into the carriage? In other words, which way should the blade angle be when cutting.... u would think toward the rear?? Next, i did get the blade depth set so it would cut thru the vinyl but not the backing....but when i try to do cuts... it cuts better on the right hand side of the machine and does like nothing toward the center and left side (using a 24" wide roll")... Force is at 27, speed is at 8, quality at 2..... For quality is higher number better or not? Trying to learn here, but dont want to waste alot of vinyl.. i have the 651 oracal and some of the indoor wall removable stuff (got two rolls of that, red and black) Point me in the right direction... Im sitting here on my laptop, working on my collection, trying to get this cutter set up correctly, and do a few small cuts...all while struggling with stomach and abdominal pains..... hard to focus...

mopar691 281 Posted March 28, 2013 Sounds to me like you don't have the holder all the way down in the mount. Make sure the top of the clamp is all the way over the flange on the blade holder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcextreme 475 Posted March 28, 2013 Wow...ur good..just saw that...lol... Im just under the weather...from being sick...cant think right...today at work was a pain....kept forgetting tools and stuff...and would get into my machine ready to work and realize i forgot something..had to crawl and climb out to go back to my tool box...too many times...i was there for 9 hrs and probably got like 4 hrs of stuff done..

slice&dice 2,450 Posted March 28, 2013 In other words, which way should the blade angle be when cutting.... u would think toward the rear?? Cutter blades fit into a special holder that has bearings, allowing the blade to spin freely 360* When the entire cutting head moves, the blade is dragged along, and it'll rotate in whichever direction it needs to. On a personal note, honestly, it's fortunate you 'only' have a bacterial infection, which is the best-case scenario from all the alternatives you faced. Get well soon.

gcextreme 475 Posted March 28, 2013 Oh ok cool..i didnt think it rotated... Thanks... I gotta be at work at 8am in 20 mins...if im going....i feel horrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcextreme 475 Posted March 29, 2013 for cutting the 651 oracal vinyl... what is a good setting for the force, speed and quality?? for quality is a higher number better quality??? I just did a cut of a skull... the larger pieces came out and weeded just fine, but the smaller ones didnt...they were still connected to the parts i needed to weed out....
