This page will show in detail how to use the vinyl cutter, from connecting it to a computer, checking the settings, loading vinyl, performing cuts, then weeding and making the finished layered vinyl graphics.
Overview of the vinyl cutter
Here you can see the vinyl cutter, it lives in the craft area with it's cloth dust cover over it, the stand is on wheels, but just watch as you move it, the wheels don't move that well sometimes, and the cutter is not physically fixed to the stand (it's rubber feet sit on holes in the metalwork on the top of the stand, so you could dislodge it by rough handeling.
The main parts of the cutter are:
Control panel and display, used to set things up on the machine
Knife / pen holder, holds the cutter and moves it along the Y axis, an electromagnet pulls the holder down onto the work
Metal rollers, and movable pinch rollers to grip the vinyl and move it along the X axis
The pinch rollers from the rear of the machine, the levers are to release them to load vinyl
