Need help ASAP

Im going to buy a cutter and not sure what to get. Im going to do mostly racecars and a few farmers doors on semis. I was going to get the laser point one with countur cutting but i will never use the countur cutting feature. Was going to get a 24'' but not sure if thats big enough now. I wont be doing anything that big but was just wondering if anyone had any input for me. Also i looked at the pcut and was wondering if it was any good. Just wondering whats the best with price inclueded i dont want to spend more than $800. Also what do i all need to start. Thank you for your time any help would be great

If I had $800 to spend, I would definately go for the 24" Copam. Good machine.

aside from that, the pcut would be my second choice, over the refine.

I totally agree with John..... Copam 2500, then pcut.
I have both. Great cutters for the price.
BTW, never say never when it comes to things that you may do in the future with a cutter.
Contouring may be in your future..... you never know.

Signblazer is free and can be downloaded from uscutter but I would buy the flexi starter with the cutter - flexi is very stable with the copam

I don't know where Iowa is, exactly. However, from Washington State to you, if it ships today, look for it Mon or Tuesday of next week.
