Guest HowardI Posted July 8, 2010 This is quite possible. I do a test on them using a letter size sheet of the alphabet with symbols. The capital A always shows some stairstepping on the MH. Every single one. Some are worse than others but as mentioned previously at a higher speed it's less noticible. Mass, inertia, etc. smooth out the oscillation of the motors working in tandem as it cuts an angled straight line. I have seen where people can make them cut almost smoothly by changing the e-speed setting. I can improve the stepping effect by adjusting the e-speed, the speed and force, and the belt tensions. Making sure the blade holder is in the rear slot, the carriage is on track, etc. I don't want to make people think this machine is a great business machine or that it will cut perfectly. it's just not going to do that. It's a hobby/craft cutter. It is a great starter machine, use it to make enough money to upgrade. If you're cutting things small enough that this issue is a problem then it's probably not the best machine for the work you're doing. It's not a sales pitch. When people call I always try to qualify what they are trying to do before I say that a particular machine will or will not work for their job. I did not design, engineer or manufacture this machine. I fix lots of them however. If you are not in an environment where static can be a problem these things CAN do some really good work. I have customers with 4-5 year old machines that they make huge quantities of t-shirts on. I'm always happy when someone gets one of these and it works for them. I become unhappy when someone has a problem with their MH and it turns out to be a design issue and then everyone gets mad at uscutter for something we didn't make.

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted July 9, 2010 The old refines (mh series) does not have a problem and the p-cut's don't have this problem - just the newer machines not all of them..mine doesn't. And I have recommended the mh871 to others who have bought it,and they also have no problems. You can't blame an antire line of machines for the problems of an occasional bad one..no more than I can say all Fords are bad because I had one lemon Ford.
