Drag Knife anyone?

Hi Joe,

That's damn expensive!

Seen it done on plenty of sites, but thought I'd not need it, so didn't save them... Doh! Having said that the Tweakie pages have images of vinyl cutting - can't remeber if he details the design or not :-(

Tweakie.CNC - Vinyl Cutting

From what I remeber of other sites, they use a standard vinyl cutter blade (or sometimes Blade & holder) in a tube with ball bearings to allow it to pivot, the shape of the blade forms the castor. Should be no need to lift of, I pretty sure the vinyls cutters I've seen didn't

Cheers,
Geoff

I think you are right in that the vinyl cutters don't lift off. With thicker materials and a blade at a shearing angle I think not to lift would mar the material surface.
