highonlif 4 Posted January 25, 2014 As my last post stated, I'm looking to upgrade. I have decided to spend the money for a servo driven cutter. I'm not sure however which one to choose. Graphtec CE6000 or Roland GX-24? There is only $50 difference between them. I know most people don't have experience with both, so I'm asking you to cast your vote and give a reason to choose one over the other. Thanks. Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joker 618 Posted January 25, 2014 I have had experience with a graphtec 1000 but now i run an sc cutter that works just as good for a helluva lot less.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OWJones 1,981 Posted January 25, 2014 Graphtec - includes a stand in the price - does the Roland? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted January 25, 2014 +1 Graphtec, the floor stand comes standard equipment,,, with a Graphtec. The floor stand for the Roland is $295.extra. Did you figure that in? I would never have a cutter without a stand... More bang for your buck with a Graphtec. Cuts very small detailed work, tracks great.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joker 618 Posted January 25, 2014 The only draw back for a SC cutter is stepper motor. But if you take the time and dial it in right it will cut just as good as a graphtec in my opinion. Others might not see it that way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
highonlif 4 Posted January 25, 2014 I am a cabinet builder by trade, so I am actually planning a cabinet stand that I can store the extra rolls of vinyl in. So a stand is not an issue. And a wood cabinet doesn't build static. The only draw back for a SC cutter is stepper motor. But if you take the time and dial it in right it will cut just as good as a graphtec in my opinion. Others might not see it that way I have an MH721 and spend time dialing it in and it is loud. I am not complaint about how it cuts at all. It works great for what I do, but it's time to upgrade to something I can run a little faster and don't have to readjust the tracking after every 3' cut.

joker 618 Posted January 25, 2014 Yes they are a little loud but cut great.. I think everyone upgrades and some point in time to something better but me i am gonna run this Sc cutter into the damn dirt...lol. But yes i vote for a graphtec great machines and are alot quieter..

security802 686 Posted January 25, 2014 Have not had either one, but the more I read and all I am leaning for a Graphtec when I have the $ to drop on one. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark-s 1,126 Posted January 25, 2014 Graphtec hands down. Best cutter I have ever used and I have had Rolands and the cheap knock offs. I own 2 Graphtecs. mark-s 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
