can anyone help with PNC 1210 cutting problems please?
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has any tips on improving the cutting quality on a Roland PNC1210. It is an old plotter that hasn’t been serviced recently and the cut quality seems to have deteriorated. Curved letters appear a bit of a "wobble" in them and pointed corners aren’t very tidy either. The pressure of the cut is fine, but small lettering can look quite poor. I have tried different blades, renewing the cutting strip and general cleaning of the pinch rollers, but nothing seems to improve the problem. It had this problem a few months ago, but it seemed to right itself (?) .
Cheers
Dave

Give the bearing in the blade holder a good dose of WD40 then shake out the excess.

Hi Tim,
I’m using RSK250V blades from Edward Mathias & Co. The blade and holder is a complete unit and I have tried swapping them and it doesn’t seem to solve the problem. I have a genuine blade and holder in my Versacamm which I will try, see it it cuts any better with that. Hoverever I have a suspicion that the problem may with the "x" (horizontal) movement of the potter. The "wobbles" in the curves appear to be in vertical curves rather than horizontal curves. I’ll try the genuine blade and holder and see how I get on.
Thanks
Dave

I just found a spare cutter protection strip in the bottom of a draw (which I would have bought for the PNC1210 and have been supplied one for another machine), stripped the old one off and realised the new doesn’t fit 🙁 . 🙂 . Does anyone know where I can get a new one quickly!
Cheers
Dave
