You can also get a vinyl cutter for the CNC. You set it in the collet, but don’t turn on the spindle. It’s a spring loaded diamond beveled tip that attaches the same as a 1/16″ bit.

Do you know how much that is?

Do you have to have a real nice spoilboard?

Andy,
I can’t recall the price, but it wasn’t much. I can’t even remember where I got it from, but I think it is called a diamond draw bit. I emailed you a pic if you want to post it. The thin part before the diamond nib is spring loaded.

You should level your spoilboard before you use this. Good observation.

I got the email you sent and it looks kinda funny. Will it actually get a good cut on the particle board? Seems like it would be too soft to get a nice clean line.

It’s for vinyl cutting only.
I meant to level the spoilboard prior to using the bit.

Tom,

Can you email the pic of that diamond cutter, that sounds kool.

Andy might be able to post it here. It’s a close up of the spring loaded part. The pic page is a hassle for me to work with.

Andy?
