The Basics
The vinyl cutter uses a very small, sharp knife to cut through only one layer of a self-adhesive vinyl/protective backing sandwich. It can be used to create artwork for use on the heat press, as stencils for spray painting and etch masks for electro-etching, amongst other things.
It is also possible to swap out the knife for a plotting pen so that it can be used to draw patterns for sewing.
Induction
Please see Joe or Martin if you want a Vinyl Cutter induction. Come armed with a vector file that you would like to cut!
