Cutting Vinyl

[twiles]

I see one saw some talk of a vinyl cutter that someone was working on, has anyone perfected such a tool to use with the shopbot??

Terry: Greg Berscht made 1 for the shopbot, works great.

You can see some pictures of it here

Terry, if you can get a 1/2 collet made without
the slice in it,with a .251 hole, and get a 1/4 plotter vinyl
knife, 2- 1/4 locking collars drill bit type, and a spring, assembled its a drag vinyl knife spring loaded,
won't cost much..the tips are sharpened in such
a way that they only penetrate so far even when the spring pressure is to great..the replacable
knife is centered in the bottom of the shaft and
swivels, I have one but it has a diamond drag bit
in it now..
