    Give a friend the cash and have them use their credit card to get you a Clean Cut blade.

    I have always had 30-36" vinyl cutters and have never needed larger and would not want it smaller. I use 24" and 30" wide vinyl in many different colors. With me, it is not about would I need a cutter that large, I create designs that large for 28" wide and my buyers like that. The sizes also create higher prices, and bigger revenue. It is not any harder for me to cut the large graphics on a 30" cutter than is it would be on a 24" w cutter. You can get the plastic/resin tables, and they are 30" wide by 8 ft long, pretty reasonable. They have folding legs with a straight table top. I work by myself, and never have problems handling the large graphics or taping the large graphics. I can cut a 28" wide by 16 ft long, but I have a Graphtec. I started out with a value cutter though for 14 months and that cutter stepped me up to the Graphtec.

    Yeah, most on here that have had something over 24" typically say it wasn't worth it and a 24" cutter was more than big enough for their jobs. It comes down to what you plan to cut with it though. If you plan to do really big signs the 34 might be the way to go. Keep in mind though, big decals are a big pain and often times a design can be broken down into smaller more manageable pieces.

    Thank you all - MZSkeeter - working on this. Right now it's just a mess with probate and all and I had to hire an attorney that said to keep things as 'is' - no spending really unless it's dire and no opening accounts in my own name...just until this whole situation is resolved. I'm trying to find a way to do it

    Sounds right to me. Does the same design do the same thing on another substrate? Kind of running out of ideas here

    And, (maybe) in your situation if you call you get the forum discount and he "may" work out an e-transfer for you. (remember, I said "may". Don't know myself)

    +1 on clean cut, just make sure to lower your pressure 40 percent before inserting new cc blade and start with too little blade working out. The blades are made with a fine grain carbide that makes them last much longer and stay sharper, the other side of that is they will be more brittle and you can break a tip if you cut thru your backing paper on the corners . . . If adjusted correctly I get 8-10 months of half use out of each cc blade

    Cleancut is the best you are going to get. You could maybe give them a call and see what you can work out with him. He is a great guy to work with. http://www.cleancutblade.com/

    28" and if you can, step up to a LaserPoint or get the best machine within your budget.

    I probably don't cut every day, however I too have always used CC blades. They absolutely last longer. I always use scrap vinyl and do test cut until it is correct depth/pressure(TITAN 2). Learned the hard way after incorrect setting and ruining the cutting strip.
