Hey all. Having issues with this machine. Just a few days old. Wish I had found these forums before buying this thing. I had a 20 year old Vinyl Express cutter I bought brand new years ago and it finally bit the dust. Worked great with no tracking etc issues..
Ok onto the problems.
Note: I am using the pen and a roll of paper but that should not affect things I would think.
Machine refuses to stack straight. I've tried adjusting the tension from all the way off (the way it came, threaded rod flush with top of nut) to all the way down a little at a time. I put a straight edge on each time to be sure they are even. Still doesn't track right and causing distortions in a drawing. My 20+ year old cutter never ever had tracking issues unless I got the vinyl in crooked. On this one since it's apparently to cheap to have 2 measuring tapes I did measure and put a mark on blue tape even with the marks on the tape.
Yes, I'm now realizing this is a bottom of the line cutter.. QUESTION? Will US Cutter take it back without screwing me over if I buy one of their better cutters? My old one had no issues doing big panels. This one cant even do small stuff. Sure, I would love a Roland or Graphtec. However I'm retired and on a fixed income. Just trying to make some boat gas money with sandblasting mugs etc.
Last pic was done with my old cutter years ago
