Was given a cutter by can't tell what brand

Recommended Posts

I was given a cutter by a friend.  I know that she used it for t-shirts for her volleyball team.  I cannot find a cutter brand on it anywhere.  The blade housing says signwarehouse.com, but when I call them they want money to help me.  There is only a model number on the back.  PLT-CT with the 36 box colored in so I'm assuming it is a 36" cutter.  

 

Can anyone help me out so that I can download a manual and find out if SCAL works with this cutter or if I need to purchase other software?

 

I have attached photos of the machine, model number and the control panel.

 

Thanks all,


Rebecca

Well it appears that it is a Signwarehouse R31 or Enduracut, which are rebranded cutters. Maybe go to the signwarehouse website and contact them via email and provide them with the serial number to see what info they can give on it.

 

But, I am pretty sure you can run it with Signblazer Elements which is free cutting software.

Just in case...

 

Unless my memory's failing me:

 

It looks identical to my PCut, still a Creation machine. BUT as I also remember, the KingCut is different. I don't remember why though. I found this out on the Creation web site back when I was investigating my 'new' PCut.

 

I would give it a try with SignBlazer using the PCUT CT-900 driver setting and see what happens.

You are correct in thinking your cutter is a 36" model. The other two options are 24" and 48" models. I am not sure what the difference is between the CT and A models are however.

 

Here are drivers and user guides off of Creation's website: http://www.creation.com.hk/eng/support.asp which should help. It's a shame that Signwarehouse.com is charging you $200 to get assistance with your cutter, I'll file that in my brain somewhere as a company to avoid like the plague.

 

Also, SignGo from http://www.signgo.com has a 30 day unencumbered trial you can download and try out. It's not the easiest software to use I've found however unforunately. But if you go this route, I may be able to help you. SignGo has their own forum too to get support on and they will reply and assist you.
