610 wide cutters
Just a niggle that i have always had really! May even turn out that im a complete pleb after all these yrs?
Whats the point in a 610 cutter when the cutting suface is a lot shorter than that.
On our Summa D60 the 610 roll will fit within a fraction of the pincers so you cannot use it at full width, you have to move the pincer in 1 notch leaving you with a cutting surface of 451mm!Seems daft to me? Have i not known any better or are the rest of you guys in the same boat?

My Roland CX24 has a maximum cutting width of 580mm. I think I’d be a bit peeved at losing so much too!

Mine’s the same Lorraine. Think it has a max of 584mm, again a Roland. I would be well peeved at anything below 500.

I have a Roland too, and I’ve had 585 at a push…. I had to keep checking to make sure it didn’t run off. It did other week and I couldn’t use 3 metres of vinyl bought in especially for the job! I can still use it as there are plenty of smaller decals I can get out of the useable bits for the same customer.
I’d have thought the Summa would cut somewhere near 610 like the Rolands? Imagine what a narrower Summa cutter would do! DOH! What does it say in the manual it’s maximum cutting width is?

On graphtec and signpal plotters you can set the width more by telling the machine to cut upto the edge of the pinch rollers, 600mm is usually possible on the graphtec dont know about roland though.

hhmm had a old summa cutter years ago and it got 580 wide in the cut width. Don’t know why they would have changed it to a narrower width.
Most 610 cutters cut at least 580 these days. It is almost a universal setting I thought.

The D60 has a max cutting width of 600mm. You should get up to 580mm easily on 610mm vinyl. My guess is you’re not loading it right.

You guessed right.
Took the time to have a proper look at it and got it up to 585mm comfortably.
What a k**b head! 😀
Well, thats a bit of vinyl wasted then? :lol1:
cheers guys

SignPal Jaguars and the earlier Ultra models allow you to use expanded mode, normally you would get say 580 to 590mm cut width, go on expanded mode and as Peter says it will look past the end of the outside rollers and allow you to cut 610mm.

it took me a few weeks to notice that one ! the wheel above the large grit roller on the right, is able to sit in any position between the two right hand wheel ‘notches’ !
i only noticed it when i read that it would take down to 50mm wide, suddenly alot more offcuts became useble !

Hi,
Most of the recent Graphtecs have the "expand mode", gives you an extra 10mm each side so it cuts in front of the pinch rollers,
cheers
