I have a Graphtec CE1000-60 plotter and the cutting strip that the blade/pen ride on seems to have developed a visible grove in it. This can also be felt slightly by running a fingernail across it. Is this a difficult retrofit? Seems like it is just a pressure sensitive piece.

I took mine out years ago and replaced it with a strip of sandblast resist. This works well for cutting and pouncing and doesn't require switching material strips. I change it every year if I can remember to.

I did the same thing Stephen did, just reversed it on the platen, and I did order a backup from Graphtec so when this end wears out as well, I'll have a new one. Must tell you though, I didn't read the manual of course, and I switched the entire "plate" around before we realized the cutting strip itself was self adhesive.
By the way, do you remember "Stubby" from sign school? Hey, didn't I meet you one time when you came over with Dirk and then we went down to a meet in Minnesota back in 93 or 94? I think you are the same Curt that Stubby went to sign school with.
