What this page is
This is a small Buythis content block titled "Vinyl Cutting Spare Parts". Buythis is AM.CO.ZA's online shop. The block is shown at the top of the vinyl cutter parts category, and has no text of its own: it is a heading, a link to vinyl cutter videos on the AchievementMatters YouTube channel, and a row of buttons to the other vinyl cutting sections of the shop.
The buttons on the block are:
- Cutters: buythis.co.za/cheap-vinyl-cutters, the basic and entry-level vinyl cutters (see Basic Vinyl cutters).
- Contour Cutters: buythis.co.za/contour-vinyl-cutters, cutters with an optical eye that cut around printed artwork (see Semi-Automatic Vinyl cutters).
- Business Cutters: buythis.co.za/business-vinyl-cutters, larger cutters for sign and print businesses (see Business Vinyl cutters).
- Blades: buythis.co.za/vinyl-blades, replacement cutting blades (see Blades Vinyl cutters).
- Accessories: buythis.co.za/vinyl-cutter-accessories, tools and add-ons for vinyl work (see Accessories Vinyl cutters).
- Training: VinylCut training videos on softwaretraining.co.za, for the VinylCut design and cutting software (see VinylCut).
- Vinyl Cutting Videos: a vinyl cutter search on the AchievementMatters YouTube channel.

Choosing the right part
- Note the cutter model and year of manufacture from the label on the machine or the invoice. Some parts differ between model years. For example, the 88 mm and 123 mm timing belts above fit 2016-and-newer V-Smart and V-Auto cutters, and the V-PANEL board is for the 2016 V-Series.
- Match the symptom to the part. A cutter that tears vinyl or cuts unevenly usually needs a new blade or a worn cutting strip replaced, not a board. A carriage that will not move on one axis points to that axis's belt or motor. A cutter that will not power up or talk to the computer points to the main board, panel board or carriage cable board.
- If unsure, send "hi" to AM.CO.ZA on WhatsApp (060 600 6000) with the machine model and a photo of the part or the problem, and the team will confirm the right part.
Spares for vinyl cutters from other brands are sold on the sister shop Aftermarket.co.za (see Aftermarket Spare Parts). To have a technician fit parts or service the cutter, see Call-out Service Packages.
