Go-C Graphics 856 Posted June 21, 2015 When my MH died I bought a Graphtec. I didn't want to spend that much money but it was the best thing I could of done. Works perfectly every time saving time and materials. Just saying....... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted June 21, 2015 Dave, while you are understandably upset, maybe take a step back and evaluate the severity of the crash. Would you simply replace your car when it has a mechanical malfunction? Or deal with the problem and get it going again by merely replacing a part? (This just happened to me, as I needed a new alternator -- I would not have even THOUGHT of towing the dead car to a dealer and trading it in for a new one) Anyway, you get my point. What cutter? How did it fail? What happened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put about $9 k in it in the 1.5 years we have had it and done messing. $3500 and it's yours lol I would prefer this 1964 model bug. Bidding is up to $13,000. (BIN asking price is $20,000) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Volkswagen-Beetle-Classic-type-1-/151714681677 Anyway, throughout the years we've all done plenty of troubleshooting in the Forum and gotten cutters that 'died' back to life. That's why I posed the following questions -- "What cutter? How did it fail? What happened?" David C. is welcome to reply and maybe, just maybe, get out of the jam he's in, without buying a new cutter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted June 21, 2015 past comments he was cutting with "12 Silhouette machine for about 6 months" and was looking for a new cutter back on June 5th.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrfibble 77 Posted June 22, 2015 Fixing it is probably not going to work we took it apart and while all the gears seem ok its not pressing down on the vinyl to cut and even though the motors all seem ok its making a horrible grinding noise and doing random cuts I had a Silhouette Cameo so ill probably be getting another as its all I can afford atm just still trying to see if the new version still works with SCAL3 ( which I use) David C ADDED>>>>>> will try and see if I can talk work into buying a Laser Point 2 (24") Tuesday ............

motoxchic 33 Posted June 22, 2015 Sorry to hear about your cutter. Just FYI, if you are interested, i have a this cutter SC24 with a stand i can make you a very fair deal on. It was the first cutter i bought from US Cutter, and have since bought a Graphtec. Only used it for a few months and very light at that. PM me if you are interested, hopefully shipping wont kill it, but we can price costs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT57 135 Posted June 24, 2015 i would go with a USC cutter over another silhouette. More versatility in file types i believe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
