MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 28, 2010 actually, I don't know if you remember the problems that ff958 was having. http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,26057.msg205946.html#msg205946 but I happened to see a Graphtec 42" FC7000 model not too far from him on Craigslist for $2900, 'cause that is a very good deal. so I sent him the link ,, He is the proud owner of that machine now and this is what he wrote me back a couple days ago, I gave him a little time to get used to it. His reply "one word WOW. I can't believe the difference in the quality. It already has me spoiled, no more setting origins, no more manual feeding after the jobs cuts to cut the vinyl crooked. I am glad I bought the cheap cutters first. I was able to learn the hard way first so I know how good I have it now. And besides the cheap cutters paid for the good one".

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 28, 2010 have you checked your area on craigslist, to see if anyone has a good deal on a used cutter? or even new.. people sell new in there also, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
budracer1 0 Posted March 28, 2010 Yeah I have checked .....How about a Pro -Cut cr630 http://www.cutterpros.com/proddetail.php?prod=cr630 JB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
budracer1 0 Posted March 28, 2010 Ok I may have just found a real deal....I found a used graphtec ce3000mk2-60 24" cutter on craigslist for 500.00. Its not really in driving distance so Ill have to have the guy ship it but he said that would be like $50.00. I know this is an older graphtec but my roland was probably 20 years old. What do you guys think? JB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you guys think? JB as long as it's in good working order, a Graphtec or a Roland are very good machines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 28, 2010 I recently sold one of these and they are the same as the ce-5000-60 except color - at that price GRAB IT The mk2 is the one with the auto registration unlike the ce-3000-60! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Truckntran 0 Posted March 28, 2010 I went from a Roland Stika to an older graphtec, bought here used, and have yet to regret it. It is a serious machine, and a huge step up in quality. It also weighs a ton, when I get around to building a stand it's gonna have to be heavy duty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
