Ha-HAAA....I think it's where you risk drivin' that lovely #11 thru one of your much needed extremities by weedin' at a high rate of speed, Adrie! Hey, Michael now all you need is a gas mask and a safe place to work on that flowery vehicle. [Big Grin]

Hey...I'm with you on the suicide weeding!
I have a Summa with the tangential blade...
WOW, its so accurate and the cuts are so precise in every corner. I have been thru the tedious weeding with my "other cutter" and I mean tediuos. When I got the Summa...cut my first vinyl job. It was on high performance 2mil.
I started weeding as usual and it seem so smooth, by the time the second one came around I went into suicide mode. With my Summa I can start on one side and rapidly weed it without fear of ripping up letters or tearing a letter where the blade might not have met exactly. This cutter Rocks! Thanks Ginny at Summa—it's all you said it was.

Mike ,,Gotta love a good cutter..

I use a Anagraph to do my cutting. So does Kathy. Hers is the 30 " mine is the 24"

Anagraph cuts nice and true. Even the corners are complete. Even the smallest of letters. Accurate and tracks great.
Suicide weeding? I thought I was the only one who could suicide weed. Xacto knife? i didn't know some had to carry the Xacto with them to the weed table. Power weed lines make it so easy with weed cuts placed just right.

HUh?

Who weeds vinyl anymore? Just find yourself some immigrant workers or small children, or in my case the neighbor's kids and they'll weed all day long for nothing!
