The Graphtec CE Lite-50 Cutting Strip (part number PM-CR-001) is the genuine original Graphtec replacement Teflon cutting mat strip for the CE Lite-50 20" desktop cutting plotter. This consumable protects the CE Lite-50's platen gutter rail from blade contact and shields the blade from premature dulling during through-cut work on vinyl, heat transfer film, decals, and other media. The PM-CR-001 is a CE Lite-50-specific part — no other Graphtec cutter in the current lineup uses this part number. Every PM-CR-001 we stock at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine original Graphtec — not aftermarket, not generic.

With 210g of cutting force, a 4.3" touch screen, ARMS 7.0 registration mark sensing for print-and-cut, and compatibility with both roll and sheet media, it is a capable entry-level production cutter used widely by small sign shops, apparel decorators, and hobbyists moving into professional production. The PM-CR-001 cutting strip is the only model-specific consumable strip for this machine — keeping a replacement on hand eliminates downtime when the strip wears. What Does a Cutting Strip Do? The cutting strip sits in the gutter rail of the CE Lite-50 platen — the channel the blade tip passes through during through-cut work. It provides a safe surface for the blade to fully penetrate media without contacting bare metal, protecting both the platen rail and the blade tip from damage. A worn strip causes inconsistent cut depth, incomplete cuts despite correct settings, media lifting, and accelerated blade dulling. Replacing it promptly restores clean, consistent cutting performance. When to Replace Replace PM-CR-001 when you notice: • Deep grooves worn into the strip along the cutting path • Incomplete cuts despite correct blade force and depth settings • Media lifting during cutting • Blade tips dulling faster than expected • Visible crumbling or loss of the non-stick surface Installation Notes Clean the gutter rail with isopropyl alcohol to remove adhesive residue and debris from the old strip. Allow to dry completely. Peel the adhesive liner, align one end with the gutter rail, and press firmly along the full length. Allow 15–30 minutes before running a cutting job, then verify blade force and depth settings.

Frequently Asked Questions Is PM-CR-001 compatible with any other Graphtec cutter?No. PM-CR-001 is sized specifically for the CE Lite-50 gutter rail and is not compatible with any other Graphtec model. The CE6000, CE7000, FC9000, and FC7000/8000/8600 series all use different cutting strips. If you are unsure which strip your machine requires, contact us with your cutter model number before ordering. What media does the CE Lite-50 cut that wears the strip?Any through-cut application wears the strip — the blade must fully penetrate the media and contact the strip surface. On the CE Lite-50 the most common through-cut applications are heat transfer vinyl (HTV), self-adhesive vinyl, and paper-backed decal stock. Kiss-cutting applications (where the blade only cuts through the face film but not the liner) wear the strip much more slowly, as the blade does not reach the strip surface. Do you ship PM-CR-001 to Latin America?Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse. Ideal for CE Lite-50 users and small sign shops in Latin America using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
