Tom...

Will a drag knife cut nice square corners. Just picturing the geometry in my head, it seems like the drag knife would need forward movement around a corner, which means that the corner would have to be a radius and not perfectly square. Im I missing something?

I'd also be interested in a source for the cutting head. It would be neat to be able to cut vinyl should the need arise. I know how a real vinyl cutter (rotating head) works and I would never try to match that on my table, but if I ever need to do it, it beats a trip to the sign shop. :)
