Apparatus For Cutting Graphics

摘要

Gap cutting apparatus and methods for slitting vehicle graphics are described. In one embodiment, the Gap cutting apparatus and methods are used to slit graphics for use with a vehicle and in particular when the graphics are disposed between body panels and the like. The gap cutting apparatus and methods are based upon three basic mechanical features and exploits these mechanical features in order to create a variety of tools and methods for quickly and accurately slitting graphics (and in particular vinyl-based sheeting graphics) and the like which span gaps between vehicle body panels and/or other gaps between other proximately disposed surfaces.
