Question about cutting substrate

I want to know if there's a way to cut substrate from the back without cutting the vinyl. This way I could peel back the substrate from the middle of a decal rather than the edge. Does anyone know if such a tool or machine exists?

:help

Thanks!

yep. dale has been working on that one. he even sent over a couple for me to try when i bought a few Big Squeegee's.

however, they are still under prototype stages. so, scary bugs are still lurking. feel free to contact him about it. he's very accommodating. :)

test depth of blade on scrap first, but I have used a plotter blade holder with the blade only protruding enough to cut through the backer, but not the vinyl

this is what I was trying to only make it small and light weight enough to attach to a Big Squeegee so it would always be handy. I'm not ready yet to offer it for sale. The plotter blade holder may be your best bet for now.
