Josh: I see, so what cutters have you tested that you consider inexpensive? I have personally found that while a cutter may state say 500 grams of force that does not necessarily equate to being able to cut thicker materials, nor does it reference the durability of the motor to constantly withstand the maximum force. There is software to allow cutters without an optic eye to do this, and there is even a model with a laser attached near the blade holder, but it is not as accurate as using an optic eye.Īlso – Many of these cutters state a large downforce maximum.
An optic eye makes cutting around an image printed on vinyl/paper very easy by reading crop marks that are printed along with your design. Nick: These usually will not have an optic eye. Josh: What else might an inexpensive vinyl cutter lack? So if that is your main business, look elsewhere.
You really do not want to use a machine with a stepper motor to constantly cut Twill, Rhinestone templates, Sandblast material, etc. Nick: It stands up to tough to cut stuff over time. Josh: So what does a servo do that a stepper does not? Not as durable as a Servo motor on mid grade or pro grade units, and quite a bit louder, but a stepper does the job for cutting vinyl nicely. Inexpensive units will have a Stepper motor. Josh: What is the main difference between an inexpensive cutter (under $500) and a mid-grade unit? Interview with Vinyl Cutter Expert Nick Horvath
