Actual vinyl cutters have a magnetic transducer in them which allows for adjustable pressure and the difference between cutting through the vinyl and cutting all the way through the backing isn't huge. You'll also want to devise some way of keeping the vinyl flat. I actually purchased one of those drag knife kits as a backup for my Rolands. Haven't used it yet, but it seems decent enough and the price is insanely cheap. |

I did an internship at a transducer company once. They were a tax dodge operation. Raw material came in duty free from South America, and then they made it American and sent it to the states. Not sure anyone there did any actual work except for the women soldering boards. I still don't know what a transducer actually does. They told me "detect vibration on airplane wings." :cheers: |

In this case, it follows the "mechanical transducer" definition. i.e. "Anything which changes one form of energy to a different one". Electricity goes in, creates a magnetic field of varying strength to provide varying downward mechanical pressure on the drag-knife. |
