maximum security 0 Posted October 12, 2014 Hello I am a locksmith and have been in business for 25 years. A few years ago (when I was still married ) I bought my then wife a us cutter mh 721 so she could start a business of her own.... divorced now she is gone and I still have the machine. I decided to try and learn how to use it to make my own signs and advertising for my business. First she had taken the soft ware with her... I found Win pc sign on ebay... now I discover that the fuse holder cap is missing on my machine... but I will try to order a new cap and get started soon. I am excited to learn this new trade and to create the signs for my new service van soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
30-284 86 Posted October 12, 2014 You could always try signblazer software which is a little dated but is free and will work with your cutter. you can download from the us cutter web site. Donn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jburns 239 Posted October 12, 2014 Welcome! If you have the user manual, that should help start with connecting to your computer, and learning ,machine settings. But if you have the patience of a locksmith you will be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,450 Posted October 13, 2014 You'll have fun with the cutter. You can start with "Security Protection" signs (customized) for your clients. For example -- 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted October 13, 2014 Maximum, I consider myself an "amateur locksmith" which basically means I have a few of the tools and basically suck at it and have no formal training. At my day job I occasionally need access to some of my employers property or locked storage vans and often the keys are hard to locate so I went online and got a set of picks and spring tools and gleaned a little info from a friend of a friend kinda thing. Master locks are easy enough but some of the more complicated door locks are beyond my patience and skill level. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
