Ironbar 12 Posted October 8, 2018 Seems like US Cutter is always out of stock of a lot of items forcing me to order from other places. 12" Squeegee? Nope, none available. RTape 4075 30"? No. Chemica 1702 20"? No. Take up reel for my 155 I ordered in August? Still back ordered. Seems like things they would want to have in stock at all times. I know they carry a lot of products but this is how you keep customers coming back. Have everything in stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,450 Posted August 20, 2019 The USCUTTER website shows Zero. I called Sales and they say Zero. No timeline given for re-stock. Can you show the link to Amazon's offering? (A friend of mine wants a 34" cutter with defined positions for the grit rollers, along with the included media basket, which the LP3 has, but the SC and MH don't) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,450 Posted August 20, 2019 At no point was a 28" cutter being considered (nor mentioned). Anyway, I hope they resume selling the LP3 34" quickly, my friend has specific work she wants to accomplish and doesn't plan on waiting very much longer. Finding another similar 870mm sized cutter is quite difficult!!! VEVOR product is ONLY one I can locate!!!! Arrrggggghhhh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted August 20, 2019 Someone else may want it, if they see the LP3 sold out on Uscutter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted August 20, 2019 Mz. Skeeter, what do you think of this 870mm VEVOR? I honestly am suspicious, to say the least. The photos show two different configurations, one with the pre-spaced pressure roller positions, and other images illustrate a long grit roller like the MH/SC. But, I guess it's not that critical which the machine actually has. I'm gonna recommend to order that baby, and I'll let you know the outcome in a few days. It's worth the gamble at this point, since her pending job orders are valued at substantially more than the purchase price for this competitor cutter of $368 and free ship.

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted August 20, 2019 your right - no parts listed on the site - - - hmmm still seller has a 74 percent approval rating . . . if problems do they provide support/replacement? I am always leary of sellers like that. heck that is the same approval rating as Home depot kitchen installers don't ask me how I know that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted August 20, 2019 Is Vevor still in business? Their website is Copyright 2015 showing 2017 NEW arrivals.

I had looked at the VEVOR website, that I had searched for. when I stated that. Links above. But if you look at the Name on the cutter, it says SEIKI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted August 20, 2019 Maybe the Chinese company that produces the LP3 is out of business? Maybe they left USCUTTER without any further supply? USCutter ain't sayin' -- all I know for sure is they are out of stock. Which is the subject of this thread. Anyway, VEVOR 34" cutter is right now available, it's possible to order one, it will arrive in a few days, and my buddy is all set to go. For under $400 it sure seems reasonable to take this slight gamble. ================ Skeeter, this is the cutter, not some other machine you were referencing.

I must be missing your point Not really, I was asking if the VEVOR 870mm would be in the same ballpark as the LP3, and clarifying with an illustration directed to Skeetz to show what machine I'm talking about, since she was pointing out a completely different model in her replies (and she linked to some competitor's offerings, as well) I have edited my posts to remove a specific link regarding a competitor, in the interests of fair play to USCutter, but let's recall -- I'M CURRENTLY NOT FINDING what I want from this company, which is the subject of this thread. Since you have some 'pull' with UScutter, maybe see if you can get an answer from someone there regarding the timeline of restocking? I certainly would prefer my friend spends her money with USC, but that window of opportunity is gonna close fairly quickly, just sayin' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
