Can you guess which cutter cut which file?  One was cut with a US Cutter Refine, another was cut with a Graphtec and the other one was cut with the "almighty" Roland.  Anyone who seen this at another forum please don't spill the beans.   Cheesy

LMAO that is a good answer.  How about if I put a price tag beside each picture, that would probably tell you too. Wink

You are correct, middle one was done by me with US Cutter Refine, the top one was done by the Graphtec and the bottom was by the Roland.  Now I'd have to say our little "el cheapo, made in china" machines that everyone says aren't worth a dime can cut as good as those "top of the line" machines. 

I just thought I'd share that little "test" with you guys in case there is people who are still wondering if these machines will cut very well.

Fivestar, thanks for that great comparison.  In my opinion the Graphtec did the worst when it came to the smallest stars.....

Now I wonder, do you know if the other 2 were done with the same kind of vinyl you used, or should it not matter??

PS makes me want to go try that now.  Grin

I understand a lot of factors could of been played in this comparison... but not only did it cut the best, but it cut the straightest as well.

Terry mine was cut at 8 IPS and an old 45 degree blade, while the Roland was cut at 10 cm/s with 45 degree blade and the Graphtec was cut with 45 degree blade at 20 cm/s according to the people who cut them.

Think you could post just one sections of the stars so I can see if mine cuts that nice? those are pretty small stars. Would like to see if mine is that close.
