Hi Derek, we have one (similar) wouldn’t be without it. We have 2 members of staff (from another Company) who have both been cutting / fitting vinyl for getting on 20 years, never had one in their old Company both love it, so simple!!

i would think this works well mate… but… “i think” (but could be wrong) these are simply vinyl holders for a cutter. I’m not explaining this well but doing my best :lol1: :lol1: years back these holders came free with cutters like the old gerber 4b. back then “20 years ago now” it was 13inches wide and just sat behind the cutter feeding the vinyl by rolling off easy on its ball bearing system. somewhere along the line, i think someone has tried it as a dispenser and it works of course. so now being sold as that. as ide imagine them selling more under that description.
someone posted a picture here on the boards a few weeks back. (another good idea) basically… you have your cutter on its stand? behind the cutter suspended on the stand is these rollers. they simply sat their cutter next to their weeding table and used the rollers for dispensing the tape when not cutting. -
hi there, bought one of these a few weeks back does the job well and well built. funny thing is I am about to get another one to act as a roller for vinyl for my P Cut, just making a stand for the cutter and incorporate one of these just the job I think , got to be better than having it on my desk top. one thing I will say there is no tension control as such on the dispencer you do rely on the tension created whilst pulling off the app tape.

hi again nick i did bid on one but it didnt get it and a freind of mine has come up with a similar one still has no tension device on it but i found the tack on the paper is enough to keep it tight enough will post a pic in members file store

This is what I use at work.
The tape has enough resistance on it to not lay down on the graphics we are taping up. Works for us.
You just lift one end of the tube up and put your roll in.

Thank Derek,
just had a look same as I have made, no tension device but I don’t think you need it.

We brought a despenser last week after not getting round to making one (been really busy recently) and after first using it had one of those “why the hell didn’t I get one of these sooner” moments!!!! 😀
