Cranking away as usual and learning something new every day!

A buddy of mine local saw my plight and suggested this fix which I'm going to implement tomorrow. The bean-counters at Graphtec are asking for me to agree to waive any rights of warranty or anything else if I'm going to replace a plastic strip on my cutter. Duh. So I'm going to try the...

Steve, what do you mean by really expensive? I run lots of different types of materials and have to vary the pressure often.

The plastic cutting bed on my graphtec FC7000-130MK2 is gouged. It's breaking blades at this point and they tend to rip right through the teflon topper strip because of the gouges in the plastic below. There's a channel there that it mounts in, but I CANNOT find this part anywhere. Jack at GRS...

Very faint in one direction, but it's definitely there. I'm leaning towards downloading a service manual and trying this myself. Needs to be done, no money to do it and if I go down even LESS money as you all well know. Anyone have experience replacing bearings in a VJ1204? How about...

Ok, this started years ago on and off. It was sporadic but now as of today it's constant. When the material runs on the higher speed, something inside SCREAMS, sounds like metal on metal screeching. At printing speeds there are no noises. What should I check for first? Any suggestions, ideas or...

You know it's funny, I come back to this thread occasionally because the question while solved has never actually been answered. FYI, I'm not talking around things here, the "reduce points" tool actually does NOTHING. Yes, the vector is selected and no using the tool does not reduce the number...

Thank you very much everybody!!! Appreciated!

Hey everyone, hope you're making the most of this sunshine if you're in the NE by me.... looking for this particular font. Anyone know it? Thanks!!! Ian

Perfect timing. Got caught in Sandy and lost my XP computer in the flood... finally realized that SAi gives not a **** about it's customers but it's my software and it's what I know... so I had to shell out $600 to upgrade to 10 because the only computer I had that didn't get destroyed runs...

I'd happily turn in a hairy-chested real-man card to have software that worked.

Ok this is exactly the answer that will have me finding the half-witted programmers that wrote this ****-ware and doing bloody murder on them. SERIOUSLY? Thousands of dollars, and it just happens? That's the answer I was afraid of... I was sincerely hoping that I was the idiot. Anyone else have...

Ok. So why, when I have gradients assigned to a group do they shift without me selecting and modifying them? I've been hampered by this for too long, it's time to learn why this happens. In some cases, I can simply copy a group out with ctrl-click and drag and all the gradients contained in BOTH...

Thank you!!!! I printed that out and it's tacked to my board for reference!!! Even though I did get it to work so far on a run of about 5', this is non-cleared stuff that I can hand-cut if necessary. If I'm dealing with cast and long runs I may very well try your method! For now, the four-sight...

Bob, are you telling me there's a possibility that the two just suddenly decided there's a difference between an inch and an inch between them and from now on I will have to go through a different more time consuming process to get the contour cuts to work? I'm sorry, but I also don't understand...
