Well Thanks to those who helped. Especially Signs Down Under, I couldn't have down it without these forums. I had done everything before and it didn't work, but I gave it a go again and uninstalled EVERYTHING last night then went back with new drivers, an upgrade of windows USB to serial driver and the SB install and the settings above. ( which I had tried before ) It is all working now and I am getting much better cuts with SB than I did with flexi 8.6 Thanks Again, Ernie

I know I would be better off serial than USB, but USB is all I have to work with right now. It cuts fine in Flexi, but in SBE it just turns the laser on and doesn't move. I have tried all the different pcut model available in the software (CT630, CTE630 HPGL, and USCutter Laserpoint) any suggestions. The machine LCD just says Working....... COM1-CONNECTION and does nothing. I guess I'll cut with flexi until I get this figured out. Signs Down Under, what Cutter are you using in SB? Thanks,

and I realize the vinyl catcher is on wrong in the last photo

MORE photos

FedEX came yesterday! I hope these photos are setup right. First of all let my say so far I am very happy with the cutter and it's quality. 2nd my complaints are only due to why build decent quality and slack on shipping boxes? Picture 1 - It's here! Picture 2 - Early Christmas opening box Picture 3 - The cutter looks packed well Picture 4 - The cutter is out the tape was frustrating, and I had no patience, the wife had to help Picture 5 - Below the cutter Picture 6 - Well the stand was what was rattling in the box! This "securing" bubble wrap didn't secure much. Picture 7 - The stuff / accessories box Picture 8 - Cutter unwrapped, the head is ziptied secure, and this thing is actually more metal than plastic Picture 9 - There are some transit scratched near the buttons, this had me worried at first. Picture 10 - The rollers are all scratched from being in transit and not secure. Picture 11 - The securing bubble wrap for the stand had worn through due to the stand shifting during transit Picture 12 - The complete unit I didn't have time last night to get the computer room cleaned and the cutter up and running. Today I used it and and I am VERY happy with it so far. Reliability is unknown since I have only had it on a few hours now with some practice cuts. I'll post those later tonight if I get a chance. Overall I'm happy and really like it, I'll have to learn SB because flexi 8.6 is not what I had expected although it did fine bringing in my CAD drawings and sending them to the cutter. Thanks, Ernie

Thanks guys, I ended up accidentally buying the cutter on e-bay, I figured I would make an offer and I offered $400.00 expecting a counteroffer. Well the offer was accepted and the cutter was shipped today. I think it will pretty good for the price, as just the regular one is in about that price range. Now for some paint mask vinyl. Ernie

I've recently been doing a-lot of searching on cutters and almost pulled the trigger on a couple. I'd really like to buy from USCutter due to this forum and their reputation. I should have bought an e-bay bundle from them a few days ago and then this question probably wouldn't have come up. I was looking through youtube clips of cutters today and noticed the button panel on many of the lower end cutters is not "great" I expected this a little due to price. But I found this PCUT CS630 on e-bay and the panel looks really clean and the specs look similar/better than the other PCUT's, I was mainly looking at laserpoints due to I almost bought a used one off craigslist and then searched online and I can buy a new one with software and warranty for the same money. What do you guys think of this cutter? It also has and SD slot for cutting offline, I don't think that is a make or break feature, but with all the "cable" problems I am reading about may be a simple solution. Thanks, Ernie Also would this cutter be available from USCutter? as they carry the PCUT brand?
