Hi
I have been using my Refine mh721 laserpoint to cut flex for tshirts with no problems and recently offered to make a friend a house for sale sign out of some vinyl i had been given (Oracal 651) But when cutting the vinyl it stretchs and bulges and all circles end up ovals or spirals. I then tried some banner vinyl i had (JAC Serisoft 3 Year Banner Vinyl) but got the same results. Also no matter what pressure i set the cutter rollers too they leave a roller track on the vinyl. I have tried adjusting the blade pressure but still the same. any one any ideas??

Thanks for that I changed the blade and it cured a lot of the problem but still left the circles a little egg shaped and it was then suggested that the speed was to high which cured the rest of the problem.
