StrokeTech92 0 Posted May 30, 2015 Hello, I'm interested in getting started with a vinyl cutter, I plan do this as a hobby and use it to make decals for my business, and possibly cut templates for screen printing T-shirts for my business. I own a Diesel Repair shop. The two models I was looking at was the 34" USCutter MH Series and the 34" USCutter SC Series These seem like fairly comparable models but I'm guessing the SC is higher quality, what kind of things would you notice on the SC over the MH? Would a very green inexperienced person like myself even notice a difference between the two? Is there any other models I should consider? I have no experience with graphic design or using a vinyl cutter, but I have wanted to get started for years and finally decided i'd make the jump. Thank you, Shaun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted May 30, 2015 No comparison get the SC. Do a search for mh and you'll see literally hundreds in not thousands of reasons to get the sc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joker 618 Posted May 30, 2015 Sc series machine would be the best choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Command 97 Posted May 31, 2015 I personally started out 3 years ago with the MH 34". It still lives to this day and is a servicable, tempermental, noisy machine. While it has many eccentricities and needed some jury rigging, it is capable of producing nearly as fine detail as my Graphtec CE-5000's. That being said, Personally I would reccomend the SC series, not only because the delta is very low, but also because it comes with a one year warranty(90 days for the MH). In addition to that, the MH series is FLAKY when it comes to static. I would imagine you are looking to make decals over 2 feet seeing as you are in a shop. Our MH series sometimes had problems with long decals before we literally grounded it internally to the frame and then an outlet. Hope ive been of help with my personal experiance!

StrokeTech92 0 Posted June 1, 2015 Thank you, you all have been a great help, I'm going to spend the extra and get a SC series. Look forward to getting started! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clifish 1 Posted August 10, 2015 did you pull the trigger on the SC? how did it turn out? big learning curve? do you regret not spending more on a servo motor titan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted August 10, 2015 did you pull the trigger on the SC? how did it turn out? big learning curve? do you regret not spending more on a servo motor titan? He has not been on since June....... Any cutter has a learning curve, mostly on the cutting software. Most value cutters have the same features, they just have different names for the buttons. If you can afford higher, buy the best that you can afford.. Stay away from the MH series,,, 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
