slice&dice 2,467 Posted June 4, 2023 With Fathers' Day approaching, I thought it would be a good opportunity to suggest a great present for dad (or granddad). USCUTTER is having a SALE on two of their most popular budget machines (MH and SC) which are fully warranteed but 'refurbished' (maybe with new motherboard, carriage or other components). https://uscutter.com/refurbished-34-sc2-vinyl-cutter-with-stand-and-catch-basket/ and https://uscutter.com/refurbished-34-mh-vinyl-cutter-with-design-cut-software/ The SC includes a media catch basket with the stand, which is a very nice set-up to keep the vinyl from spilling onto the floor! Normally selling new for over $550, this refurb unit is now just $375. (and it comes with the VM software, worth $50 by itself) And for the low, low price of $270. the MH is a decent value proposition for pops to play around with and get addicted to this stuff, just as we all have. [[[ NOTE: These cutters are the big 30" ones, and there are also 24" models available on Sale for even less money. ]]] I can't think of a better way to say to Dad "You're #1" -- and get him into a fulfilling (retirement?) activity that he'll love.

CoralWurth 0 Posted May 15 anyone's tried using layered vinyl with wood projects for gifts like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoralWurth 0 Posted May 15 Well..I did something similar for my dad last year and he loved it. I used my cutter for the vinyl parts of a custom wood frame, then set it up with a digital slideshow. To figure out how to display instagram photos on digital frame, I linked his frame to my account and used a compatible app to send pics directly—super easy to update with new family photos too.
