Thanks for that whatknot, an excellent idea. I suspect the plate is the original from the machine ?? I never thought to use that. We have 3 machines we use at the 'Shed' and we have around 5 or 6 of these clamps (broken). I will look into fitting plates on Monday. Thanks again for the advice. Don W

Thanks Brian, I may have a look on ebay for Adobe Illustrator but I am having some problems with Inkscape at the moment so it may be some time before I get round to it. I think I remember Phill doing an explanation on here but without Illustrator it was a nono. Don W

@claymore, Brian is there a reason you use/bought Adobe Illustrator rather than a free programme like Inkscape ?? or should I direct this question at Phill ?? take care Don W

I find Hobbies as a good source for blades in the UK. They sell Olson and Niqua. I have been trying out the Niqua lately ( I bought the full range) and haven't found any major differences in their use. Whatever blades you use needs a bit of trial and error IMHO www.alwayshobbies.com Don W PS...
