Blade pressure can be adjusted for cutting sign vinyl in any thickness as well as sandblast mask, paper, cardboard, and plastics up to 1/32 thick. We recommend using the 60 degree blade (Sold Separately - Product Code: CNC-VINYL_KNIFE-RB_60 ) when cutting materials other than sign vinyl. WidgetWorks Unlimited's CNC Sign Vinyl Drag Knife bit fits in any 1/4" collet, just like a regular end mill. Instead of rotating and cutting like an end mill, the bit allows your CNC machine to cut adhesive backed sign vinyl and other thin materials with the spindle TURNED OFF. The spring-loaded bit holds a tiny carbide knife that swivels as your CNC machine drags it around the profile of your design. Inside the bit, pressure on the blade is precisely controlled, allowing the knife to cut through sign vinyl without cutting through its wax paper backing. The bit is designed to compensate for tables that are not perfectly flat. Comes complete with everything you need to start cutting sign vinyl, including the floating-head blade holder, 45 degree carbide blade, and detailed directions on how to create your cut files, how to set your bit height / Z=0 level, and recommended feed/speed rates. (Mounting bracket required for use with CNC plasma cutters is NOT INCLUDED.) CUT SIGN VINYL WITH YOUR CNC MACHINE IN 3 EASY STEPS - STEP 1: Create your CAD/CAM file using standard software.

STEP 3: Run your cut file to create your lettering/graphic. The spring-loaded carbide knife swivels as your CNC machine drags it around the profile of your design.
