NickiZ 5 Posted July 9, 2015 Not sure where this should go actually. But once your vinyl is cut (when it's on a roll) - what do any of you use to cut it off without removing the whole roll from the cutter? Any slick tricks out there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfatty500 454 Posted July 9, 2015 My Graphtec has a slot along the front, feed the vinyl a little past the weed border and cut with a razor blade 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bamafan2277 50 Posted July 9, 2015 I use a plastic letter opener in that slot that has a small razor blade inside. makes cutting the vinyl even very easy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bamafan2277 50 Posted July 9, 2015 You can use the letter opener in one of the grooves on the front of the machine. I did that with my R31 and it worked quite well to keep my cut offs even 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rpmrpm 32 Posted July 9, 2015 I use a plastic letter opener or just a snap knife in a designated front face grove. NOTE: SCALP (I'm assuming based on MH cutter) does have a "End action" adj/tab and one of the options is "Advance amount" I set mine to auto bring material forward to that designated grove for quick trimming without hunting for your last cut section. (nipped off the top of a couple decals before I learned this) Mark that designated grove on the edges with vinyl or silver sharpie. Mine is well worn from dragging snap knifes over it before I learned here of the plastic letter openers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Command 97 Posted July 10, 2015 With a graphtec, one of the "easy knives" sliding it along the slot. With the MH... old friend scissor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
