Cutter / Plotter

This is coming along too - I have the blade mounted up, etc, and actually cutting acetate! Of course, once it cuts something out entirely, the blade tends to tear against the hole, and there are some problems with the scratch-guard I built ( vis if it extends all the way on both sides, the sandground rollers can no longer get traction on the paper - not doing so exposes the ends and also means uneven paper pressure ).

People cutting adhesive backed vinyl don't have this problem because the vinyl is on a substrate. Perhaps I need to bond the acetate to heavy cardboard with spray adhesive or something.
