Cutter and vinyl for sandblast

[Kazuale 0]

I am searching for a cutter that can cut vinyl thick enough for blasting stones and boulders. Right now I am considering the Copam Professional cutter. Does anyone do stone blasting? I would also be curious to know what else I could do with the same cutter.

Thanks,

Bill

Buy what you can afford. Go higher up than the MH series. For vinyl they have sand blasting stencil I'm using regular Avery vinyl.

Stone blasting like gravemarker type stuff? Definitely want a real high quality machine to cut through the extra thick sandblast material you will need.

I think Bren handles that type equipment...

Here's a YouTube of them cutting some pretty heavy stuff.

 

I've cut this 21 mil (?) product with my Lylu TC;

(took nearly all 500g of downforce that it had, though )

I've cut thicker stuff, just copy>paste the image over it self a few times and hope it doesnt jog.

Most software will allow you to make multiple passes - much easier to work with a file that doesn't have the same image stacked up multiple times - just an FYI...
