DNA_Vinyl 262 Posted December 11, 2014 So....the blade in my cutter can move pretty freely. Is that normal? I don't mean the entire holder...just the blade IN the silver holder. Is that bad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DCMoney 91 Posted December 11, 2014 From my understanding you want it to spin, that way the blade cutting edge follows the direction of the programmed cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,450 Posted December 11, 2014 It sits inside a bearing, and you periodically need to check that there aren't bits & pieces of vinyl stuck in there preventing it from spinning freely. Also, a drop or two of 3-in-1 oil inside the hole (take out the blade first) is a good regular maintanence procedure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maxcat128 28 Posted December 11, 2014 'Best way to see it in action is to cut a "star" shape with sharp points and watch it spin as it changes direction.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
