Recently I have had some long jobs to cut (over 1.5 meters) and had terrible trouble with Tracking - when running the vinyl back and forth a few times in order for the vinyl to find its natural path everything is fine but when I actually started cutting then things went on the 'Piss' and ruined my vinyl a few times... One was over 2 meters of Silver Etch - (expensive mistake).
SO, I took action and came up with a couple of guides.
These are made from the straps of those Orange Bags from AWD which were being given away at the last P&P show - the right hand one is held in place using the screws on the bottom of the cutter AND Masking tape to keep it in place.
The left One is on top of double sided tape.
Just an idea for those who may be having similar problems with these Chinese cutters:
