The Graphtec CE6000-40 Teflon Cutting Strip 2-Pack (part number CE6-CM40-2) is the genuine original Graphtec replacement cutting mat strip for the CE6000-40 and CE6000-40 Plus cutting plotters — the 15" model of the CE6000 series. This 2-pack consumable protects the platen gutter rail from blade contact and shields the blade from premature dulling during through-cut work. Each pack contains 2 strips, 10mm wide and pre-cut to the CE6000-40's gutter rail length, with an aggressive adhesive backing and a rigid Teflon (PTFE) base on the blade-facing side. Every CE6-CM40-2 we stock at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine original Graphtec — not aftermarket, not generic..

What Does a Cutting Strip Do?
The cutting strip — the black strip running the length of the cutter under the blade — sits in the gutter rail of the CE6000 platen. It provides a safe, controlled surface for the blade tip to fully penetrate during through-cut work without contacting the bare metal rail beneath, cushioning blade contact to prevent premature dulling and tip chipping. A worn or deeply grooved strip causes inconsistent blade penetration depth, producing unclean cuts, media lifting on contour paths, and accelerated blade wear. Keeping a 2-pack in stock means one strip installed and one ready — no production delay when the strip needs changing.
When to Replace Your CE6000-40 Cutting Strip
As a general guideline, replace every 6 months in regular production use — and inspect monthly. Replace immediately when you notice:
• Deep grooves worn into the strip surface along the primary cutting path
• Incomplete cuts despite correct blade force and depth settings
• Media lifting or pulling during cutting
• Blade tips dulling faster than normal
• Visible crumbling, discolouration, or loss of the non-stick surface
Installation Notes
Clean the gutter rail thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to remove residue 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. After installation, verify blade force and depth settings — the fresh strip surface may require minor adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is CE6-CM40-2 compatible with the CE6000 Plus?
Yes. The CE6000-40 Plus uses the same gutter rail and cutting strip specification as the standard CE6000-40. CE6-CM40-2 is the correct replacement for both variants.
Can I use the CE6000 cutting strip in a CE7000 or FC9000?
No. While the CE7000 (PM-CR-009), FC9000 (PM-CR series), and CE6000 (CE6-CM series) all use 10mm wide strips, they are cut to different lengths specific to each machine's gutter rail. Using the wrong length strip leaves sections of the gutter rail unprotected. Always order the strip corresponding to your exact cutter model.
How often should I replace the cutting strip?
Every 6 months in regular production use is the recommended interval. For lighter hobby or occasional use, inspect the strip every few months and replace when visible grooving appears along the cutting path. The 2-pack means you always have a replacement on hand — no waiting for restock when the strip finally wears out.
Do you stock CE6000-60 and CE6000-120 cutting strips?
Yes — CE6-CM60-2 (24" / CE6000-60) and CE6-CM120-2 (48" / CE6000-120) are both stocked. Search by part number or contact us to order.
