wijames 0 Posted February 10, 2010 I really need some help here. My old Roland Stika has died and I'm looking for a new cutter. I'm a hobbiest and cut mostly license plates, golf cart designs, mail box letters,etc. I really don't do anything fancy, maybe a two collor design on occasion. I'd like a bigger cutter then my 12" so, which cutter would be the best choice for me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted February 10, 2010 for what you do, I suggest either the Refine mh721 or the 24" PCut...depending on your budget. I personally would go with the PCut, though it's a little more expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RPM Graphics 6 Posted February 10, 2010 I really like my 24" PCut. Once you get some goofy little settings correct, it is awesome. Like you, I am a small beans guy, this is great for working out of your basement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wijames 0 Posted February 10, 2010 What are the advantages of the Pcut for me over the MH for the money? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted February 10, 2010 It's a little newer design - they both do the same thing. there has been an issue with the refines in certain areas with wavy lines that we think are from electrical interference. 1 member finally went to a copam to get away from it in a particularly bad area. I personally used both with success and used then profits to move up the food chain to the grapthec Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mabscotthandyman 1,410 Posted February 11, 2010 I have done some small detailed stuff with my p-cut and cut very nice just slowed down the speed and tweaked the offset a little raising on very small text but if i took the time and tweaked a little more would probably been better Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
