Roland GX-24 Cuts

[JMPrinting]

I know someone will know this right away. Mostly on shirt vinyl and most sign vinyl, the cuts seem to be dashed liked a perforated cut. I changed the cut strip. Could this be a speed issue, blade? Not sure

cutter does what the PROGRAM TELLS IT TO.......... you got something screwed up in that.

Have you changed the knife to a new one? Is it turning freely in the holder? Sometimes our Rolands gunk up with a tiny piece of adhesive in the holder and the knife doesn't turn=the machine drags it sideways and the cut is jagged. Take the holder apart and clean&lube. Good luck!

Mine just had this problem too. Either try what kanini said and if that doesn't work and you still have the plastic holder in it replace it with an aluminum one. I replaced my stock one with the aluminum holder and put a new blade in and it fixed the problem.

Good Luck!

Is it weeding good or no? I'm guessing it must not be weeding right, but if i weeds okay but the cut looks perforated, you can slow it down and that should make all the difference in the world.

Mostly on shirt vinyl

I used to have that problem with Stahls premium plus. I found if I didn't put in a fresh, sharp blade and slow down the machine, my GX-300 would make horrible cuts... almost as though it was perforated like you said, or it was "skipping" across the material.

So I've kept a blade on hand for cutting just heat seal so it stays fairly sharp (because I don't cut much heat seal), and I slow things down to 20 to 25cm/s and it cuts beautifully.

Thanks for the suggestions. It has gotten better, I was set on 35mm/s and slowed it to 25

I haven't had this issue and all my cast vinyls seem to cut fine, just the shirt vinyl wasn't doing to well. There is still a little "skip" maybe slow it down more or as suggested keep a fresh blade for those.

On another note, Seems like my force may need adjusted. Like I said, things cut fine but my cut strip seems to get dug up a little. I have the blade barely coming out of the holder and my force is set on 200, seems high. When I use a 60deg blade for reflective it's set to 230 to be able to make the cut.
