Aaron636r 0 Posted November 26, 2009 Having nothing but issues with my US Cutter. I just need to move on. What do you guys recommend for a machine under 1k? Need at least 36+" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaderDesign 3 Posted November 26, 2009 Well for that amount of money it's gonna be hard to get a professional cutter, you'll be stuck buying economy cutters at 36+" under $1000. But for around $950 you can get the Copam 35" cutter, i have a Copam and it's the best purchase I've made yet. And for $1250 you could get a 48" Copam.

Aaron636r 0 Posted November 26, 2009 Maybe the extra $300 would be worth it. Im just fed up with the US Cutter. You get what you pay for...great statment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaderDesign 3 Posted November 26, 2009 USC just offers a budget cutter, you can't expect a miracle from them. If your cutting to make money then def spend the extra and get a good one. I made the mistake and bought a MH-871 too. Now i have a Copam and not looking back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigjimt 1 Posted November 26, 2009 I have a nice Omega 60 cuts nice and runs quite.........been in this business since before computers.....I have had a Roland 1050 (was a workhorse) in its day had a Roland 1100 24" Nice and like I say my Omega 60.......Last Oct I was looking to replace my 15" with a 24".......I asked Banner John about the MH-721...he said his worked fine...so trusting him I bought one.......and yep its been fine.......I see alot of people here have trouble.......But to let you know I use mine to cut all day long 4 days a week .........cuts great from Flexi-Pro and Signlab.....so I think most are having problems more with vista and usb port and software.....use com port and a good sign software program........Ya gotta spend on more than a cutter...if you want to do quality work.......I learned along time ago ya have to spend to make..... got to have the right equipment......I run 5 design stations and a R-1900 printer and cut more to my MH-721 than I do the Omega.... except runs over 6' then I use the Omega.......and thats because the MH-721 is desk top mounted....not on the stand...
