Cutting sign vinyl with your MM
Forum.
I have not used the product I am linking to here, but I have cut sign vinyl on my MM in the past using a 1/4" drag knife in my Porter Cable router collet and having the spindle "free wheel". This might be a nice product to add to kit in the shop. Sean http://www.widgetworksunlimited.com/...inyl_knife.htm |
I used a holder like this one, very economical
http://www.ebay.com/itm/15pcs-30-45-...IAAOSwhkRWdXVx mounted on the side of the spindle with two bushings so it can float (like floating head for plasma cutters), also for cutting different vinyl I added or subtracted shims (weights) on top, so it had correct pressure to the vinyl. |
You can get cad files to cut your own from this guy. Looks like one that is similar to
another commercial drag knife that uses utility blades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqvgA1P5hWg http://www.cnczone.com/forums/genera...-software.html |
Heath, I just got the plans for that one the other day, cost me 'a beer'. Hoping to cut one within a couple of weeks, I post images.

Looking forward to seeing how it works out for you!

I have some leftover aluminum that should work fine, I might give it a try this weekend. Should be fun. :)
