X1ArmBanditx 9 Posted August 1, 2019 which blade holder do i get for a titan 3? the holders on amazon differ by a mm or 2 for each holder so wondering which one is actually correct also, is an anti static kit recommended for a 28"? while im at it, i ordered a 28" titan but the invoice says 24" saga..i realize titans are sagas but 24"? advertised as 28"?

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted August 1, 2019 Sure looks like the titans all have the same holder according to this link. https://www.uscutter.com/USCutter-TITAN-and-TITAN-2-Replacement-Blade-Holder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted August 1, 2019 must have missed where you said yours was an se - - no idea it might just be a color thing and gets people to buy their holders but I really don't know for sure why did they name a stepper motor titan the same as a servo motor titan2 or titan3 . . .doesn't really make sense to most of us but I am sure it makes the stepper motor seem more appealing than if it had a different name. kind of like naming a mustang with a 6 cyl the same as a roush mustang - it makes that 6 cyl that looks similar seem like it is worth more by association but in reality it will never perform nearly like the roush Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted August 1, 2019 this is what the titan2 se they have listed says: What's in the Box? Vinyl cutter unit, VinylMaster Activation Code for design & cutting software, cutting blades, plotting pen, cable, stand with roll holder and catch tray. pretty sure it will come with a holder - never heard of one not coming with all you need to cut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted August 1, 2019 hopefully yours comes with the 2 rollers in the back - that single one they show on the bigger units would get old real quick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted August 1, 2019 Well, it is not going to cut 28" W. . The specs say max cutting 25" 28" is the max media width. But there are not vinyl rolls 28" wide. Max Cutting Width 25" Max Feed Width 28" 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
X1ArmBanditx 9 Posted August 1, 2019 just got off the phone with uscutter..they guy said the SE blade holder is in fact different even tho the day before another customer service guy said only dif in the SE model was cosmetic and menu navigation...he said all their blade will work in the SE holder but on amazon ive found 2 dif size roland style blades, 25mmX1.5mm and 24mmX2mm(think that was the numbers :P )...he couldnt tell me the difference, said just pay the $35 to us and it will be correct..well i dont want pay 35 for a holder when i can go on amazon and get a holder and assortment of blades for less than half that.. the cutter will be here tomorrow, really hoping somebody can point me in the right direction as i like cutting with 60 degree blades and im sure it will come with a single 45..i also have this feeling whoever refurbed it put a not SE holder in it(guess ill find out), im wondering if this was an earlier posters problem with the titan blade not coming down all the way, mmaybe wrong holder??? hmmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,627 Posted August 1, 2019 I could be wrong, but I don't believe you need a different blade holder for a different blade. Most cutters use a single blade holder and you can then put any blade in it. Some people us multiple blade holders just to make switching between blade types easier.

Some people us multiple blade holders just to make switching between blade types easier. the blade length and more importantly the diameter of the blade where it goes into the holder is important ... im not saying i need a diff holder for a dif degree blade, im just needing to know which holder and blades do i need Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted August 1, 2019 I can't speak for your "SE" but every other titan uses a standard roland blade - and checking their blade section they do not have a different blade listed for the se - you will know shortly when it arrives - - -- betting roland compatible just like the other titans, mh, sc, most chinese plotters use the roland blades Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,451 Posted August 1, 2019 i like cutting with 60 degree blades and im sure it will come with a single 45. For reference, Blue caps are 60, Red are 45. Using a 60 degree blade on everyday cutting is a waste of a blade, technically speaking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted August 1, 2019 This is what the specs say for it the refurb SE Included Items Blade holder, pen holder, 3x blades, USB & serial cable, spare fuse 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I must be wasteful then - have used a 60 degree cleancut in the roland and graphtec in all holders for years - getting about 10 months of use out of each one before it goes to the reflectives holder for more use 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
