dc 0 Posted September 6, 2007 This machine is not very good, I am very disappointed. I have a roland that is at least 18 yrs old that kicks ass compared to the us cutter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted September 6, 2007 Maybe you should go to rolands site and praise their machine. I will guarantee you my US Cutter will cut as good as your roland does. So take your negative attitude and leave this forum alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a roland that is at least 18 yrs old that kicks ass compared to the us cutter You also get out of something what you put into it.There have been others here who criticize the cutter because they were too lazy to spend the time required to get it running. I run a full-time business with mine. Like Fivestar said, mine will cut as well as your very expensive roland. Send the machine back. Let someone geta deal on it who knows a good thing when they see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stickygrafix 2 Posted September 6, 2007 my question is, if you supposedly have such a kickbutt Roland that has worked perfectly for you for 18 years, why did you spend so little money on a US Cutter? Why buy another machine and why NOT buy another Roland? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted September 6, 2007 the guy probably works for another seller,trying to get more business. In fact,there is an ebay seller offering cutters called DC signs. They go under another name which I won't mention here for their ebay store. Ken,I suggest that you or a moderator pull this guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenimes 42 Posted September 6, 2007 First I would like to ask why are you disappointed? Is it not cutting as it should? Did you just expect a GraphTec quality cutter for 1/8 of the cost, with optical eyes to read reg marks and such? Is it the software that you are not happy with? Why exactly are you disappointed in a cutter that would pay for itself in the first 3-4 jobs it cuts? Appears he did buy a 25" Refine, and might not be related to DC Sign.

Popeye 0 Posted September 7, 2007 dc, My experience is just the opposite. Considering what I paid for Pcut I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the machine, how well it worked and above all the excellent support. In my eyes, that's a great value Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted September 7, 2007 noticable silence from DC now....he did what he came here to do,I doubt if we will hear from him again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dc 0 Posted September 8, 2007 I am not another company I have a right to voice my thoughts, The tracking is horrible so you really can only cut short jobs I spent alot of time working with it I would of sent it back, but the the shipping not refunded, would of been a total of 120.00 lost so I figure I will try using it for short jobs only so mellow out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted September 8, 2007 Tis forum is for users to ask for an provide help. You might have tried THAT option before posting your opinion. I've yet to see a friction feed cutter that tracked perfectly on long cuts, but in my case, I have no problems if I get the vinyl straight and feed it through to make sure it tracks fairly straight BEFORE I make the cut.

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted September 9, 2007 Yes,I am. However,you don't have to be a genius not to expect a $300 cutter to act like a much more expensive Roland. Just have a little common sense,and be willing to ask someone who might know what your problem is. This is what these forums are for. But,judging from your post,I doubt you would even ask,much less follow any advice. You're not the type. Use your refine cutter for the small cuts,your Roland for the long ones.

stormy 5 Posted September 10, 2007 You could've just asked for help on your tracking problem, dude. I havn't had to do anything longer than 10 ft long....and that came out just fine on the refine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonexx 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Odd. My cheapass Refine MH721 tracked great right out of the box, even using heavy 24" wide oilboard. Of course I don't have 18 years experience, so maybe it was beginner's luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
