Folks,
I was wondering if anyone has used one of the craft cutting machines generally used for scrapbooking to make stencils for rolling stock lettering.
i have a color laser that does non-white water slide decals just fine. The issue is making white lettering. I didn't know if these kinds of machines can cut out stencils that can be used to paint the white lettering on cars.
Thanks,
Ed

Sounds like a good idea. I was thinking of something like this to spray a white SP logo on a reefer. Funny how we Model Railroaders use a lot of stuff from craft stores for other than their intended purpose.

Check out the Brother Scan N Cut at your local Brother sewing dealer. It is the only hobby cutter that has a built-in scanner ,thus you can scan a printed object then cut it out of paper or vinyl ,perfect for stenciling.
I am the dealer for this product in the Atlanta area and have found it to be easy to use and very reliable.
Your local dealer should charge about $499 which will include several hundred dollars worth of accessories not found in the $399 version Amazon sells.

the only issue I have had, (I have a small scale sign shop on the side), with my vinyl cutter, the smaller the cut- the less adhesive is on the vinyl to stick to the piece. The dots of the I, the inside of the A, these tiny pieces get lost in the cut.
