Keystone Kustom Decals 11 Posted October 30, 2015 Is it possible for a file to be corrupt causing it to not cut correctly? When i send file to cutter, starts out fine then id say bout 15% through it loses its mind. Disconnected usb, unplugged cutter, restarted program, still with same results 3 times. Tried new file, seemed to cut like new..... Using SCAL3 and MH cutter btw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted October 30, 2015 yes you could have a corrupt file Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted October 30, 2015 Not all files are created properly for cutting. A 'stray node' can cause a cutting file to go nuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted October 30, 2015 What about static electricity it is an MH cutter, and maybe a keyspan adapter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djque 246 Posted October 30, 2015 Also how big is the file could be memory also. Post up the file and one of us can look at it. But it could also just be the mh cutter. Mines was doing craze stuff till i got tired of it and sold it. those cutters have a mind of its own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnatUSCutter 49 Posted October 30, 2015 This sounds like a static issue to me. We're seeing a lot of those right now with the change of the seasons. http://www.uscutter.com/Anit-Static-Kit-for-Vinyl-Cutters. http://www.uline.com/BL_1755/Anti-Static-Mats Two suggestions to fix it.

slice&dice 2,450 Posted October 30, 2015 Hey there, John at USCUTTER. Your 1st link above is busted, (your link had a stray period in there at the end) "Oops...Sorry, the page you requested was not found." the correct link for the anti-static wire assembly is HERE --- http://www.uscutter.com/Anit-Static-Kit-for-Vinyl-Cutters I stick by my assessment (and Mark-s) that something specific is messed up within that one file.

mb20music 760 Posted October 30, 2015 I stick by my assessment (and Mark-s) that something specific is messed up within that one file. No it is most likely static or a memory issue - could have loads of nodes in the file LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted October 30, 2015 depends on if it has more nodes than the one that cuts right every time . . . . but with the mh all the above could be it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnatUSCutter 49 Posted October 30, 2015 Missed the "one file" piece. Sorry about that. We're getting a lot of static issues out there this year and was just reading too fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keystone Kustom Decals 11 Posted October 30, 2015 I cut the second file within minutes of the first messing up. I will post file whenever I make it to my desk. Thank you all for the suggestions. This forum has been a lifesaver the last 2 weeks. Thanks for helping a noob yall!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
