  2. $30 DIY vinyl roll slitter Video

    I used a 40 teeth carbide general blade. I also tested a 180 tooth blade and it started burning the material so LEAST teeth - better the result. Slower the saw, better the result. I just got a $45 Ryobi from tools direct. Sliding saw would be perfect but I didn't want to spend the money.
  3. $30 DIY vinyl roll slitter Video

    This may come handy for some. I made this for almost nothing. Works great for wrap 5 ft rolls and 50 yard rolls. I was limited to 10" saw so rollers were needed. $45 saw and $30 in parts. Still cheaper than $300 12" saw.

  6. Flexible $11 DIY media catch basket for a cutter

    A while back I was looking to get a cheap media basket. There were few people with few ideas. But none of them were flexible enough. So I came up with a little "SUPER CHEAP" version. Or course its work in progress. I wanted my media basket to be slide in and out on both siders and go up and...
  7. Any lighting tips for weeding vinyl - especially white - I can not see cut lines

    I find a best way to see cut lines is by the window and have a LED light. But I figure maybe other people have better solution. Im thinking of getting LONG 4 ft led bar light of some sort.
  8. Any lighting tips for weeding vinyl - especially white - I can not see cut lines

    I was wondering what is everybody using to see cut lines on lets say white vinyl. Im not interested in hearing about 15" LED light boxes, that will not work for me. I have a big surface. Do you put some sort of soft LED light across from you to see the lines? Any lamp/lights tricks?

  12. Vinyl Master users - Way to clear the spooler? Im pissed

    I have been using VM for over 2 years. I used different version including DSR. They all have the same issue, even after updates. I send job after job to the cutter. When job/file is done and I try to send another job to the cutter, last job still exists in the spooler and software wants to...
