What do you have under your cutter?

[TheSnowman]

Under my paper/vinyl cutter, I have a big box that it seems like I used to have to empty ALL THE TIME at my last location. Now that I've moved, I realized that I've only emptied it twice in about three years of being here. The last time was about a year and three months ago. What do you guys do with all the tiny little scraps that fall down the side after you cut it, and how do you keep from having to deal with all the "mess"?

Maybe it's just the nature of the beast.

My cutter is on a stand, no mess here.

Mine is on a stand too. You don't ever trim stuff down and have things fall down behind it? Here is how I have it setup.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about your plotter

I fail to see the correlation between moving, and how often your box fills up. Could it be your new location is not as busy as your old? Business slow the last 3 years?

Nice setup BTW (except for the location of your paint thinners and assorted chemicals)

I'm not sure. I think maybe before when I was in the country and we burned our trash, I would just throw any and everything in there that would burn. Now that I'm in the city, I throw most of it in the garbage can near by, and the only thing going in the box is what I trim off of things that I weed.

The fact that I bought all the big squeegee's probably has a lot to do w/ it come to think of it. I don't weed NEAR as much, since I just lay down a digital print. That means less transfer tape, vinyl, and all that's left is the backing. I never gave that a thought before, but I'd say that's probably what it is.
