flyinsignmonkey 0 Posted August 12, 2008 im running a 48" copam and it is an exellent machine for the money. I havent cut stencil but as far as I know the listed down force is more than satisfactory for cutting thick material, and it is billed as a professional quality machine that would be in the 4000 buck range if it were one of the larger name brands. it is a step up in price but the drives and servo's should do what your asking from it with no problem. ive been pleased with the large scale cutting ive done with it.

Guest sciondrgn Posted August 13, 2008 I have a 36in Pcut and I have used mine for lettering / decals and pin striping for cars to be painted, I used Spray Mask from Signwarehouse, Works well and gives a nice clean line when you paint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whitedragondesigns 0 Posted August 13, 2008 really what im looking for is something like a ROLAND GX-24 or better as i know ROLAND GX-24 will cut what i want but is way to pricey for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knobhill 0 Posted August 14, 2008 I didn't think that it had servo motors... Arn't they steppers??? You are correct and low end steppers at that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenimes 42 Posted August 15, 2008 Yes, the Copam's have steppers. If you are looking for something comparable to the GX24- go with GraphTec CE5000- 60 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
