Bastus1986 0 Posted March 31, 2016 Hello, I bought a Titan 3 54" last week, pretty cool machine. I am confused about the grit roller layout? In the picture on the website it shows the 54'' Titan 3 with 7 grit rollers (2 spaced closely at the beginning for smaller material) and 5 others across the rest of the deck. The one i received has 5 grit rollers spaced 15'' apart. This is one of the reasons I bought it, i have a large amount of 12" material on hand and i cant use it because the grit rollers are spaced 15'' apart? Did they change the design? does anyone have a titan 3 54'' with 7 grit rollers? I will include pictures below, the first 2 are of my Titan 3 and the third is from the website. What do you think i should do? PS. Im sure I have the Titan 3 not the Titan 2 or the original Titan, you can clearly see the vacuum holes in my picture and only the Titan 3 has a vacuum. Here is the shot of all of the Titan 3 cuttersThis guy has a 28" not a 54 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,450 Posted March 31, 2016 That's messed-up. Frikkin' Chinese are idiots sometimes. Of course, those first two spots are essential, for holding scraps and narrow widths of material. By the way, thanks for pointing this out, because I was about to order a 54" Titan but I absolutely cannot function with that configuration. USCUTTER has some serious explaining to do on this!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted March 31, 2016 Gosh even the one in the pic you liked would not be great because you either have 12" or what..3"? My Summa has about 7" wide full use area at the start that is for aired width of small stuff and then a series of spots every 6 inches across the deck so you can cut any increment you can think of. My old P-Cut (bless it's heart) has several weird layouts along it so you could figure out a way to cut just about anything you needed to also. It was a 48" machine. Seems like there may have been an odd size here and there that was a little hard to utilize but nothing like your showing us. That's ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forget to take your meds today? LOL The pictures are of a 68" Titan, I am assuming... From the "Specifications" of the Titan 3 on the UScutter Website http://www.uscutter.com/TITAN-3-Vinyl-Cutter-ARMS-28-53-68-inch Number of Pinch Rollers (3) on 15" Titans & 28" Titan, (4) on 28" Titan 2, 3 & 53" Titan, (5) on 53" Titan 2 & 3, (6) on 68" Titans It does show 7 pinch rollers on the machine pictured though, but it says 6 in the specs, weird...LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted March 31, 2016 I would assume that the pinch rollers were just the drop down actual rollers not the grit spots along the rail. In that there are 4 shown. so none of it jives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 31, 2016 If you check out the youtube.com video of the Titan 3 54" by a forum member here, posted last month,, It is just like yours. He is giving a review on it. All you have to do is enter Titan 3 vinyl cutter, He is kustom signz 719 posted 1 month ago. If you would go to Cutterpros, which also sells the Saga (same as Titan). They show a picture of the 54" cutter alone, and it has 5 pinch rollers. It is the light blue one.. Something I have always noticed about the specs on these TITAN (SAGA) cutters...They always post the max width that it could cut., but never post the minimum width that it could cut. Most all other vinyl cutter companies post both. Like 2"-29.5" etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primal Decals 621 Posted March 31, 2016 are the rollers on the left side closer together than the right side are with less space ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Go-C Graphics 856 Posted March 31, 2016 Someone (Product design team) didn't think that through. Hopefully you don't have a long narrow job to do anything soon. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primal Decals 621 Posted March 31, 2016 if they are closer on the left, If it were my cutter,,, i would take the top plate off and spin it around and presto, right side is now like the picture on the bottom..someone might have just put it on backwards and placed the alignment stickers to match to try and cover it up till now,,,Simple fix really as long as the roller under the plate goes all the way across...

Primal Decals 621 Posted March 31, 2016 how would you turn the knurled sections of the roller around to match the cover you just turned ?? i had to look at mine when i got home ..Not possible to do. i think they put the whole dang thing on backwards possibly. if mine was flipped it would look like his..thanks got pointing it out lol. unlessssss you flip everything around lol... not worth it. they owe him a new cutter..

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted March 31, 2016 I don't know if they "Owe" him anything but I totally agree there is some confusion and that is a big black mark on the Titan. Hopefully they will treat him right, they always have me. Just a crying shame that they try to come out with a better budget cutter yet blow something so fundamental as this. I'd be PISSED OFF is all I can say. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 31, 2016 I recognized the spacing last year and brought up the question to this guy, who was doing a review on the smaller unit...and he never replied back.about the pinch roller spacing.... According to his youtube video, He is( kustom singz 719),, he has sold the smaller cutter and bought the 54" Titan 3.which I referenced above. Wildgoose also noticed the pinch roller spacing on the 2 far right pinch rollers back then.
