GS15 plus OMEGA 1.56 cutting issues
Hi
I’m a newby hobbyist to this game. I’m printing and plotting from Omega 1.56 onto the gerber edge (mk2) and GS15+ plotter.
I am printing fine without issue, and during plotting the cuts I have assigned to the artwork manifest themselves fine on the plotter (correct depth, smooth clean cuts etc) but the problem is the plotter will scribe additional unwanted cuts through the design, 2 or 3 bizarre straight diagonal cuts through the entire job, completely ruining it, almost as if a saboteur has attacked the finished product with a stanley knife.
This applies to any artwork, and I have attempted plotting several. I have only been operating the gear for a week or so and this wasn’t an issue for the first few days but has now started happening.
Is this this anything you guys have experienced / heard of?
Your advise would be greatly appreciated.
thanks JC[/center][/quote]

Hi, it’s always good to introduce yourself in the Hello section, you’ll probably get a better response.
However, I’ve had this problem and it is a cutter issue, Just take off the dial cover by the swivel knife, two screws on the front and one on the rear, take some 3in1 oil and oil the brass bearing, you will see a small ‘oil hole’. That should do the trick.
Good luck.

You’re a gentleman thank you for the tip i’ll give it a go in the morning (there’s a tin of 3in1 in the garage somewhere).
Also I’ll upload this on the ”hello” section (thanks for that guidance too).
