Vinyl4 is the current AM.CO.ZA vinyl cutter line (replacement for Cold V-Series). Do not recommend V-Series for new sales.

## Vinyl Cutter Blade Assembly

**Blades should be replaced every 6 months.**Your blade may need to be replaced more often if you are cutting thicker material such as flock, glitter, or reflective.
